Attention, heroes! We've prepared a devlog with fresh updates for you. Development is in full swing—here's what we've accomplished recently! The first one is the updated key-art. What do you think?

Four eoliths types were added to the game, which affects their resouces extraction efficiency. Also, each eolith garrison is formed randomly.

The academy and wanderer hall have been reworked
A unique ability was given to captians, which can be used instead of resource farming
Added a progress bar that allows you to see what lies ahead

Units amounts and garrisons rebalance
The entire UI has been updated and improved to match the game's style
How do you like the updates? Add Hidden Pass to your wishlist and follow our news!

The Chaos Adept can now summon minor and medium demons. You'll even be able to control them yourself!
We've finished modeling the lesser undead and have moved on to animations for them. They'll soon have their turn to appear in the game! This brings the total to four monster races.
We've completed the creation of a new gameplay cycle. As you remember, Hidden Pass will now feature runs, progression, and other roguelike elements.
In just a few versions, you'll be able to participate in the testing of the revamped Hidden Pass!
