Hi everyone!
I'm very pleased to announce that the game is not only being updated with a number of additions, improvements & fixes, we're also adding a completely new game branch: Accessibility Mode!
You can opt in to Accessibility Mode like a beta by right clicking on Daughter of Essence and going to Properties > Betas, and it makes a number of adjustments to the game for people who struggle with the faster QTEs or the difficulty of boss encounters. You may also prefer this version if you are less interested in planning your builds and worrying about stats and would prefer things be a little less challenging.
Note: You can carry over your old save to accessibility mode, but it will not retroactively modify your saved characters' stats. You cannot, however, carry over a save file from accessibility mode to the standard build.
ACCESSIBILITY MODE FEATURES:
- Doubled base health for Mercy, Orus and Beatrix
- All HP recovery items now have higher flat rate increases
- Timer doubled on all fishing events
- Combat QTEs removed, damage formulae are now flat
- Mercy starts with 10 more Attack and Spirit
