What's New?
I hope you will all enjoy this new update. I know it's been way to long since the last large content update, but believe it will have been worth the wait. There are still many things planned on the horizon, including Steam Deck support amongst other things!
Nothing in the game is final, so if you have any suggestions please don't be afraid to get in touch with me via the discord: https://discord.gg/fJWwnSS
I'd love to hear your ideas, if you experience any bugs or if there are things you don't quite like.
As always:
Enjoy, have fun and get spooked!
Ben.
