Demo Update: Map, Journal, and New Quest

Wanderers,

Your attempts to survive the wasteland haven't gone unnoticed. We’ve been watching your struggles, gathering feedback, and now we return with a massive update to the Ward off Evil demo. The world is still trying to kill you, but this time, we are giving you slightly better tools to delay the inevitable.

Here is what awaits you in the latest patch:

  • World Map: No more wandering blind. We’ve implemented a fully functional map to help you navigate the harsh terrain. But remember – just because you know where you’re going, doesn’t mean you’ll survive the journey.

  • Quest Journal: Your unpaid contracts, grim tasks, and uncovered secrets finally have a proper home. The new journal allows you to track your progress, meaning there are no more excuses for leaving a job unfinished.

  • New Quest: The Nephilim: "The Valley of lost blessing" awaits. You will stumble upon the remnants of an ancient, colossal race cursed with madness. Decide whether to put the beasts out of their misery or find another path. Tread carefully—this encounter forgives no mistakes.

  • Combat UI Improvements: We’ve added some tooltip in the combat interface so you can plan your desperate tactical maneuvers with better precision.

  • Small tweaks and quality of life improvements.

The updated demo is live on Steam right now. Gather your warband, count your rations, and hit the trail.

Let us know on Steam discussions how you like the new additions. May the sands be merciful (we both know they won't be).

— The Ward off Evil Team
