Secret hunting challenge!
A new secret has been added to the game, and the first 5 people to discover it can win a free key for the game. Simply find the secret, take a screenshot and let us know in the "Secret Hunting Challenges" channel in our Discord. Look for the text that says "You found a secret". If you get stuck, remember that the Unfolding Stories section of your journal may help guide you to the answer.

PATCH NOTES
New Features:
- Added the Forbidden Temple
- Added new NPC - The Pilgrim
- Superpower: Short-lived Immortality has changed to - "Become immune for a short period of time. While this effect is active, your bullets are additionally affected by your Superpower upgrades."
- Added new unfolding stories to the Journal
The storm system has been tweaked to try to reduce situations where you get completely cut off with nowhere to go. The following changes have been made:
- The storm will no longer spread into a room containing Bobbins unless the player has discovered that room.
- The storm will no longer spread more that one room's height above the player
- If the storm is between 3 and 8 rooms away, it will only spread to rooms in the player's direction.
- Slightly increased the maximum spread rate of the storm to balance out these changes.
