Todays patch addresses a minor oversight in the previous one where the game would not save which CRT filter you had chosen and always defaulted to the curved one, as well as some more rebalancing and bug fixes. Full patch notes below:

  • Save which CRT filter the player has chosen

  • Reset score in practice mode on death to give you a better metric for scoring on bosses

  • Adjusted max speed of vomit projectile

  • Adjusted Nightmare bosses head hitboxes

  • Something has gone terribly wrong with Nightmare bosses second loop

  • Fixed "Wash Your Hands" achievement popping after beating Story Mode

  • Fixed visual bug during Stage 5 background transition

  • Fixed Practice Boss not unlocking if you restarted your run after getting a Game Over on the boss

  • Minor cutscene audio tweaks

  • Detected wandering spirit, may cause issues in October, attempted fix but probably won't hold
