Hey guys! Busy week with a lot of changes. Most impactful is probably the reworked inventory, which now holds 12 items, and that using or equipping items no longer takes up a turn. Another big change is that charms are no longer found at shrines but left behind by strange illusio
Thank you for your patience these the past three days. I have tirelessly tested the game over the past 24 hours and believe the problems introduced with the new collapsing path feature are resolved with this patch. If you encounter a related or unrelated issue in the game, please

Hey guys! This week's update comes a day early for the Steam Autumn Sale. The Discord community and I collected many pain points and ideas on how to improve the game, which is what this update is about. There are a lot of changes, the most impactful of them is that weapons are re

Hey guys, time for another update! I spent a good chunk of the last two weeks working on the game's design and have decided on a handful of big features that I will implement in the coming weeks. Making the start this week are off-path sites. They are unique locations to explore
UPDATE: Authentication is working again, but Steam's security measures prevent me from releasing updates until Tuesday, so I've decided to not release the changes listed below separately, but together with the next update on Friday. Sorry for the delay, I know some of you have be

Hey guys, After Seventeen weekly updates, the game reached a major milestone today. The second large region of the game's world, to Coast is now complete, closing the current chapter on the game's road to 1.0. With it come deep canyons, colorful blooming fields, sandy beaches and
Hey guys, this week I re-balanced the game to make it more challenging, making enemies hit harder and traps more deadly. Stakes feel higher and things spiral out of control quickly if you're not careful. To counteract this the hero starts with a weapon and buffs and charms are mo
I decided to make the game's visuals more representative of real objects to heighten the sense of presence in a different world. This let me consolidate a lot of sprites to make them more easily learnable. Other big changes are the controls page listing the actions of the buttons
Hey guys, I am sorry to tell you that this week's update (Version 0.39) did not live up to my standards, and I decided to remove it. The branching paths and more improvisation-based gameplay did not work. The scope of the update meant that I had limited time to play and test the
