Improved lighting, visual clarity and guidance for everyone joining the ritual.
Lighting and colors
- Mask colors are easier to distinguish, and the god’s face is darker.
- Scene lighting and shadow budgets have been adjusted for each graphics quality setting.
Victory rules
- Heretics win when at most one member of the Faithful side remains alive.
- Equal numbers on both sides no longer automatically end the match.
In-game help
- New explanations cover your role, each phase and the actions available to you.
- Toggle help with F1 or in settings.
- Clearer voting instructions: each living player can vote once during simultaneous voting.
Language and performance
- The interface and in-game help are now available in French.
- Bot dialogue uses fewer CPU threads. Generation pauses when you become a ghost, and its resources are released when you leave practice.
Connection and fixes
- Improved match recovery when the host leaves, preserving votes, night actions and remaining time.
- Fixed an issue that could return players to the lobby after connection recovery.
- Updated network protocol: all participants must use the same version.
Still under review
Host recovery still requires validation between real Steam accounts. We are continuing to investigate isolated frame-time spikes while moving as a ghost.
