Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #29 - Too hot? Too spicy? HOT! HOT!

Heya Voids and Voidettes!

It’s that time of the we- month again where we the Void update arrives! In this update we see a total of 4 new monsters enter the fray! Yes -- Four!! :) From the hot and saucy Rage Boiler to Shamra there are some really cool additions.
Here's one for the people who learned Algebra: what’s 4x - 4? While I won’t give the answer, I’ll instead post this gif:



A big majority of this update was yet again also making lots of changes and of course fixing the “locked” bug. Fortunately only Veyerals found it and it was a little tricky to activate… but we are sorry, you now have to unlock the characters to play them in quick mode! ;-)

With 51 reviews, we’ve now reached the “Very Positive” review status and we cannot thank you enough for that. We really are enjoying that people are enjoying the game. (Enjoyception) - Veyerals has poured his heart and soul into this title and it’s really nice to see the rewards showing. All we can say is a massive thank you yet again, we hope more people get their paws on this title. :)

We would like to thank you as always and look forward to hearing your feedback.

Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #28 - Upgrade this!

Heya Voids and Voidettes!

Now that we’ve changed to monthly updates, you can expect an abundance of changes in the notes.

A big part of this update was adjusting the current features in the game instead of working on adding new content. We’ve been focusing on overleveled monsters, endless mode and Solara’s Gift Shop to make the experience fairer and more balanced.

We did manage to add a new type of gift called an “Upgrade Gift” which allows upgrades to certain events and Solara’s Gift Shop. We hope you really enjoy this new addition and that it adds even more depth to the upgrade system.



It’s also worth mentioning that some player's high scores for endless modes were reset due to the infinitely exploitable combination of Adamant Will + Shame + Frustration. We apologise deeply for that, but please don’t give us your frustration gift!

We would like to thank you as always and look forward to hearing your feedback.

Full update log below.

As a reminder:

The next update will be due on 23rd May 2019.


Here’s the full list of changes we’ve made-

Early Access updated game version v4.1 -> v4.2

Content Added -

  • 1 new Dream to fulfill! (Total: 235)
  • A new type of gift called an Upgrade gift which will allow for some upgrades to certain events.
  • Solara's Gift Shop can now be upgraded permanently using Tetrids and the new Upgrade gifts.
Updates and tweaks -

  • Your current health and panics are shown while you are in Solara's Gift Shop.
  • The attack speed stat for overleveled monsters is now capped at 12 (+240%).
  • Tweaks to some attacks from overleveled monsters that were impossible to dodge (Lila, The Void, Nix Polyps).
  • Changed the description for Endless Terror to show monsters do not gain health per level.
  • You can save up to 7 loadouts for quickplay mode (slots must be unlocked).
  • Scaled down the score required to rank up in quickplay at early ranks (You will likely be a higher rank now).
  • Added a reward list menu in Quickplay that shows all the rewards earned for each rank.
  • Changed all scrolling list menus so that they are more space efficient.
  • Added quick scenes to remind you of the delay when the Shamble Sisters are charging their Link synapse.
  • Reduced damage from getting hit by a Syncron body.
  • Changed one of Syncron's attacks.
  • Blot and Molten Veyeral's turrets will now deal a burst of instant damage to the main body when they are broken, but they absorb more damage to balance this.
  • Taking multiple copies of Friend Spiral out of the synapse will stack their effects now.
  • Side effects for Love, Elation, and Desire have been changed to include critical rate.
  • Shame and Frustration now have caps that are high enough to only affect endless mode.

Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #27 - Beaming Solara's Gift Shop

Heya Voids and Voidettes!

The positive reception to Endless Nightmare has been and still is outstanding and we’re super grateful for that. Moving onwards, Update 27 mostly revolves around expanding upon Endless Nightmare. There are 38 new dreams to fulfill and we’ve upgraded the look upon Solara’s Gift Shop. We’ve also made some slight changes including capping the charging beam attacks for all overleveled monsters.

I have some important news regarding updates, they will be changed to monthly rotations. We will still be adding small tweaks and additions to the build, but the major ones with full patch updates will come around towards the end of the month now. This is partly as we are coming closer to full launch, to be more consistent and the fact that we're also currently preparing for the console versions too.

We would like to thank you as always and look forward to hearing your feedback.

The next update will be due on 25th April 2019.

Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #26 - Endless Nightmare!

Heya Voids and Voidettes!

It’s that time of the week and apologies for the radio silence, it’s been very hectic over here in the last few weeks… but we’re back and this time with version 4.0 of The Void Rains Upon Her Heart!

Prepare to meet Endless Nightmare, a new game mode which has you fighting as many monsters as you can until you heartbreak. Monsters will not give you gifts, but you can spend your karma to buy some after every battle. But be careful how you spend, because the price will go up after each purchase!



As it’s a new mode, it needs testing, so while it’s on the newest version, you can see it as a “beta” as we may need to make more changes and reset high scores in the future for example.

As always, feedback is most essential and we’ll be reading the forums and this post for comments and constructive criticism!

Thank you as always for your continued patience and we really hope you enjoy this new version.

Full update log below.

As a reminder:

We will post updates bi-weekly, Thursdays at 1PM PST / 4PM EST / 9PM GMT / 10PM CET. The next update will be on 28th March 2019.


Here’s the full list of changes we’ve made-

Early Access updated game version v3.11 -> v4.00

Content Added -

  • New endless game mode! (Beta version, it needs testing!)
Updates and tweaks -

  • Syncron now holds the combo during their panic phase until only the core remains.
  • You can now take 4 gifts out of the Link Synapse if you complete a certain dream.
  • Added a new highest level FC'd stat for each monster in the Monsters menu.
Bug Fixes -

  • None needed
Coming soon -

  • More improvements and achievements for Endless Nightmare!
