New Gameplay Mechanics
Curse
If left unplayed, they will punish you when discarded at the end of the turn or by another card.
Sacred Relic
Each run begins with 5 charges. At certain Crossroads you can spend charges to gain powerful rewards or avoid dangers. You must always keep at least 1 charge in order to reach the final battle.
New Crossroads Events
Fresh events linked to the new relic system add more decisions, risks, and rewards to every run.
Region Unlock
From this update onwards, when you start a new character, regions beyond the Ruins need to be unlocked. Every third successful run will yield a new playable region. Successful runs can be completed in any unlocked region and there is no order requirement.
