If you're wondering why news has been a little slow recently, it's because we've been throwing all our ideas into one big pot.

In 1.1, we tried to smooth out the difficulty curve so you weren't cruising through Acts 2 and 3 if you managed to make it through Act 1. We overcompensated a bit and made the game too frustrating in turn, as that ended up cranking up the difficulty of the whole game too much. This patch is meant to undo a lot of the frustration that caused. And while the curve has hopefully smoothed out a bit,…

There has been an input problem with certain Steam Deck users and it has been a challenge for us to fix as it seems it mostly affects the older Steam Deck model, and we on the dev team only have the newer model. However, we think we’ve finally solved the issues with input registering and camera moving. Let us know if you’re still having problems! First though, make sure you’re on the default in…

Hello everyone, we’re really sorry that some of you ran into problems with saving and loading your game mid-run.
