Difficulty Modes
The biggest change of this patch is addition of difficulty modes. No matter if you're a new player, or have an existing save file, you will be asked to make a selection.
The choices are:
- Story Mode Combat is simplified, so you can enjoy the point and click experience.
- Tactical Mode In addition to puzzles and exploration, you also like tactical challenges. This is the default mode.
- Custom Mode
Adjust all settings individually. (not recommended to new players)
If you've already played the game a bit and you feel like you know what you're doing, you may try customizing the difficulty to your liking, adjusting the difficulty further, perhaps making the fun even more challenging.
- Enemies Health You can adjust the % of enemies health points, from 50% to 150% of the original values.
- Enemies Scaling Some enemies become more powerful as you progress, to match you - especially important in levels that can be played in any order. Changing this will alter the amount of the scaling being done. 0% turns scaling off completely, 100% is the default value, 150% will make enemies gain strength much faster.
- Minions protect summoners Unchecking this will let you attack enemies that hide behind the minions that they have summoned.
- Enemies attack slower Selecting this will make all enemy attacks take one more turn.
- Enemies deal less damage Selecting this will reduce the incoming damage from the enemies.
You can change the difficulty at any time, but the effects will only be applied on entering a new dream (game level).
Other New Content and changes
- Added new interaction to fountains: you can toss a coin into a fountain to increase your luck a bit for current dream.
- "Wait" button (skipping turn) now requires to be held to avoid accidental turn skips.
Bug fixes

What's next?
Thank you so much for all your support, comments and feedback so far.
I'm continuing to improve the game wherever it is required. You can expect more bug fixes in the future, since there are still some glitches that haven't been fully resolved.
I'm also in the early process of designing Steam cards and badges!
For now however, that's all. I hope this update makes the game more accessible to people and also provides options for more challenges.
Cheers!
