Toll: The Ferryman's Ledger · published · build 24835531
Update 1.2
New
Death's Spill
- Every 12 minutes Death empties their purse onto your boards: 60 coins, 30 seconds to lift them
- Lift every coin and the dead pay up to x2.0 for 3 minutes
- Lift nothing at all and Death takes 10% of your obols instead
- The first spill comes 6 minutes in; with the game closed the boards stay dry
The Waters of the Lethe
- Every 18 minutes the Lethe washes the faces you carried over your boards: 6 pairs, 40 seconds to name them
- Name every pair and crossings run up to 35% shorter for 4 minutes
- Name none at all and the water takes 8% of your obols
- The first board comes 9 minutes in; with the game closed the water stays away
Balance Adjustments
Achievements
- 50 → 20 souls lost in a single run
- 50 → 20 hours on the river
Art
- Fourteen portraits of the dead repainted at a higher quality
Bugfixes
- Fixed the issue where a word from the dead you had already read would start over from the beginning after a river's conversation covered it — only a voice you had no chance to read speaks again
- Fixed multiple text issues
