The Immersive Update

The Immersive Update, Patch v1.4, adds many new features and content to the game, and also comes with the usual rebalancing, improvements and fixes!

CHANGELOG:

• Much more interactivity with the environment: Almost all props that were only decorative before can now be interacted with, from pushing chairs to eating mushrooms, so try them all!
• There's now a very small chance of chests containing mimics, completely new, special enemies with randomized attributes that drop powerful items when killed. Watch out for feisty chests!
• On NIGHTMARE difficulty, a demonic sigil will now appear in the village's bonfire, and will accept SOUL offerings to increase the game's difficulty indefinitely.
• Balancing and fixes to combat:
  • The Sonic Wave spell now only takes effect if it'd deal more than 1 damage, so it no longer aggroes the entire floor.
  • The Gravity spell no longer works through walls.
  • Fixed the Barrier spell possibly pushing the player into getting stuck in the scenery.
  • More varied sounds for the Bread & Wine spell.
  • The Resurrection power now does a full heal (recovers all HP and MP, and cures status ailments) when it activates. It also unstucks the player if he was thrown into a solid prop.
  • The Dragon boss' melee attacks now vary their damage/speed twice as much.

• Improvements and fixes to the interface and sound:
  • MASSIVE ENHANCEMENT: The cursor's finger now actually clicks.
  • Slightly better stylized sprites for the HUD lamp.
  • Magic (as in MP) has been renamed to Mana, to reduce confusion on item and enchantment descriptions.
  • Separate sound volume setting for footsteps.
  • Better, more immediately impactful Ultimate attack sound effect for bosses.
  • Fixed a bug with the Abomination's boss fight music not stopping properly.
  • Adjusted the Dark Room's music loop and pitching.

• Additions and fixes to exploration and items:
  • Kicking doors and chests now makes them open faster based on your Strength and powers.
  • Red chests in the Arena mode are now black, and can be lockpicked too. Loot is the same as before.
  • You can now combine Accessories of the same type to create one with their average stats.
  • Traps now leave ripples on flooded floors.
  • Gold Dust is now only spent if you don't have Gold Bags, and it no longer gains weight when you buy items.
  • Fixed a bug with chest keys spawning inside jail cells.

• Adjustments to drop tables:
  • Increased Spells' drop rate from 4 to 6%.
  • Increased Lamp Oil' drop rate from 4 to 5%.
  • Increased Accessories' drop rate, from 5 to 10% (of the 60% chance of dropping Equipment).
  • Decreased Empty Bottles' drop rate from 4 to 2%.
  • Decreased Artifacts' drop rate from 4 to 3%.
  • Decreased Rings' drop rate from 10 to 5% (of the 60% chance of dropping Equipment).
