Dear Fans,
After thorough analysis of player feedback, we've decided to make several big changes to Das Geisterschiff to make sure our game remains fun and accessible to the widest possible audience.
Instead of a boring, 'what-is-this-1945?' turn-based combat system, Das Geisterschiff will adopt two-step tango combat from true dungeon crawling classics that nobody played.
The bloody orange color palette received mixed reception and a color change option has been requested for many weeks.
We are adding the following options to the game:
Colors
Description
Red & Black
Virtual Boy-style palette for old school gamers.
Black & Red
Reversed Virtual Boy-style palette for old school gamers.
Pink & Cyan
Retrowave-style palette for connoisseurs.
Shades of Pink
Fabulous palette for fabulous players.
According to the feedback, a game without achievements is worthless in 2019.
We've spent months coming up with good and meaningful achievements one can wear like a badge of pride. Take a look:

If you're worrying about predatory and anti-consumer practices, you can relax -- there will be NO changes to the difficulty.
We're very excited about these changes and can't wait to hear your thoughts.
Happy April Fools!
