Patch 1.3.1 - Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! To celebrate the spine-chilling festivities, we're introducing our latest map: Grave Gulch, alongside new props, skins, structures, Creative maps and more! 👻

[h2]Before we begin... we want your feedback![/h2]
Our new Witch It Feedback Survey 2022 is now live! Your answers will play an important part in the direction we take the game in the years to come. We are not collecting any personal data in this survey, and any answers provided will be kept anonymous if we decide to publish any results.

[h2]Grave Gulch[/h2]
Welcome to Grave Gulch - a monstrous ravine cutting through a haunted valley, filled with critters, crevices and revolting cobwebs... 🎃

Hide among the harrowing foliage and abandoned buildings, or climb the rugged cliffs and possess a cocoon hanging far above the hunters below. Skilled witches will need to get creative with their escape routes, as the narrow play area leaves little room for error - climb a web or use a jump pad to make a quick get away!











[h2]14 New Props[/h2]
We've introduced a variety of Halloween and autumn-themed props, ready for you to add to your prop collection! Search Grave Gulch for the beehive, cocoons, and even a friendly mandrake! For those looking for a challenge: two new secret props are hidden within the gulch... good luck finding them! 🔎



[h2]70+ New Structures[/h2]
As promised, we've introduced tons of Flint Falls structures to Creative Mode, polished and ready to be added into your custom maps. Included with the structures are new tiles, rock formations and even Grave Gulch's giant spider and webbing! 🕸️

Fancy participating in one of our map contests? Keep an eye on our announcements on Steam and on our Discord server, as we'll be revealing our next contest on Friday, 21st October 2022! All skill levels are welcome, and yes... there will be prizes! 🏆

[h2]40 New Skin Items[/h2]
Get dressed up for trick-or-treating with our new Halloween skins! Wrap yourself in old bandages and haunt Grave Gulch as a mummy, or decorate your witch as a spider and blend in with the insects living within the nooks and crannies. 🕷️

[h3]How do I obtain the new Halloween items?[/h3]
Opening Witch It during the Halloween 2022 event will grant you 30 "Gloomkins"!
A Gloomkin contains a random Halloween item (including Halloween items from previous years), which can only be opened by combining them with "Haunted Candy".

To earn Haunted Candy, fill up the Item Cauldron with 250 experience points. You can see the item cauldron fill up at the end of the round, on the level up screen.

Filling up the cauldron on Sleeping Rose Cemetery, Cursed Ruins, Grunewald Library (Day) or Grave Gulch will grant you a 40% chance to receive a Haunted Candy. If you're lucky enough to earn one, head back to the main menu and press 'Halloween Event' to combine it with your Gloomkins! 🍬

Every Halloween 2022 item is tradable and craftable even after the event is over.
If you use up all your Gloomkins, you can craft more by combining 5 Candies together!
Note: Candies can only be obtained in Official servers.

You can also receive the new items by:
- Crafting Halloween recipes in the Witches' Cauldron (main menu > collection > Witches' Cauldron).
- As random drops by filling up the item cauldron at the end of a round.
- Trading with other players (we recommend using our Discord server to find traders).









[h2]New Creative Maps[/h2]
We've introduced 3 new Creative Maps which you can use as a base for your epic maps and prop layouts. Flint Falls has been added - time to build your own prehistoric maps! "Jungle Day" is a flattened Flint Falls for those who want to build their own custom terrain. Grave Gulch is also available for those wanting to build maps in a spooky environment - we hope you enjoy them as much as we do! 🦇

Haven't tried our Creative Mode yet? Press "play" in the main menu, then "creative mode" to start your own Creative server with your chosen parameters. From there, you can build your own environments to hunt and hide in. Need some inspiration? Check our most popular workshop maps here!
