Hello Adventurers,

First of all, thank you to everyone who downloaded and played the Ancient Shadows: Awakening demo during Steam Next Fest.

I carefully read your feedback, bug reports, suggestions, and reviews. Every comment helps improve the game and make the dungeon an even better place to explore.

Changes in this update

• Added FOV setting.
• Added Smooth Camera option (disabled by default).
• Fixed lockpicking key rebinding.
• Added additional safeguards to prevent rare cases where controls could become unresponsive after death or loading.
• Lockpicking UI now correctly displays rebound keys.
• Minor bug fixes and stability improvements.

As a solo developer, I cannot implement everything immediately, but your feedback helps me prioritize future development and updates.

If you enjoy the demo, please consider adding Ancient Shadows: Awakening to your wishlist and sharing it with friends who enjoy dungeon-crawling adventures.

Thank you for your support and for joining me on this journey.
