Game update

Battle Reactions

Battle reaction system — your party reacts to what happens around them: the warrior praises a big kill, the thief flinches and rattles, each with its own symbol popping over their head
The weaver and the chaos witch have their real dialogue written; the weaver now names the Road and Fate
Choosing a character happens on the board — swaps and chain/counter prompts highlight the pick with a caret and outline, fade out anyone ineligible, and darken the board behind your party
Turn-order portraits show each player's available abilities
New elite encounter: a slime flood — a full board of slimelings with one rock to stand on
The shop's Hearty Meal and the campsite rest now play out the heal instead of snapping the bars full
The trainer always deals at least one card you can afford
Crystal pillars cast a real glow on the board
Shadows weigh every lamp in the room, so a shadow standing in another light gets filled in by it

Chains only bar the player whose own kill opened the window — a partner's kill re-opens the chain to them
Kuzushi damage 10 -> 5; slimeling HP 12 -> 15; softer focus lines
The tarot fate recipes are gone for now

A party wipe no longer crashes on the way out of battle
A dodged attack no longer plays the hit sound and blood spray under its own MISS
A zombie knocked down by a lethal blow now reports the damage it actually took, so on-hit effects, shoves, combo and chain windows all fire
A shove damages everything on the tile it crashes into, not just the blocking unit
Entities that spawn mid-battle wait for their art instead of flashing a placeholder
Cast shadows track sliding and knocked-back sprites
Tsuppari's preview no longer promises kills its flat combo rule can't deliver
The ability diamond stays hidden until a character pick lands
Battle toasts and rally lines show their text again instead of raw keys
