Weekly Update

The Fortress · published 24 Jan 2026, 13:39 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Weekly Update! (and yes, we heard you )

Since everyone asked (and by everyone we mean… really everyone), by popular demand we’ve added the ability to skip all cutscenes.

You can now face the Fortress without losing time on things you’ve already seen. Just press ESC and straight into the action.

On top of that, we fixed several item-related bugs, including:

  • Overlapping effects

  • Effects applied to the wrong faces of dice

  • Missing descriptions

  • Too many dice being added

(Sorry about that last one… but you’ll still have to work hard to reach the end. No free wins here.)

And we’re not stopping here.

We’ve heard your voices echoing through the dark and lonely corridors of the Fortress, and we’re working on the overall game difficulty to make the challenge more engaging. We’re also considering a Veteran Mode for the more hardcore players among you.

This week we’ll also be working on:

  • Achievements

  • Cloud saves

  • General quality-of-life improvements with small but meaningful tweaks

Finally, if you want to support us at full power, consider leaving a positive review on Steam.

It really helps the game reach other players who might be interested.

Thanks for storming the Fortress with us!
