Greetings Carants!
As December rears its head around the corner (where did the year go?), we’re here with an early Christmas present: Update 0.3. With it comes an abundance of new content specially prepared just for you, from an opulent new city with mysteries abound to a gruff companion ready to bear his sword against your enemies.
PEREN
A new update means a new location to get your hands on! Peren will be your next stop on your journey – with noble scheming awaiting, how will you navigate plots set to trip you up?
But don’t let their machinations stop you from touring Peren’s gardens and admiring the ruins scattered around the countryside. Take your time, breathe in the fresh air, and then proceed to break into some poor soul’s home. We know you want to.
TILL: A NEW COMPANION
Till enters the fray! With patch 0.3, you’ll also have a new companion join your side. Originally from the Coin Guard, Till fights with a two-handed sword and launches himself into your enemies to provide you with a much-needed defensive line in tricker battles.
A gruff man with a sharp sense of humour, he’ll shoulder you throughout and aide you in your plans. Use him well, Carants – he'll no doubt be a boon to your team.
CHARACTER CREATOR
Do you enjoy spending hours in the character creator, deliberating on how you want your character to look? Well, we have just the thing. More in-depth than previous character creators by the studio, you now have more freedom than ever before when it comes to making the character of your dreams.
Tweak aspects such as the nose, hair, and face, then prepare yourself for the journey ahead. Will you create a stunning beauty or a sleep paralysis demon? We’ll leave that up to you.

THE PHOTOMODE
The time has come: our update introduces the long-awaited Photomode. Snap pictures of whatever takes your fancy, from bustling cities to the wildlife around you. Want to get pictures of your character with your favourite companion? Perhaps you’d even like to create memes? This is the place to do that.
So get ready for the camera, Carants, and pose!

SAVES
You asked for it and we heard you: we’ve provided you with save files that allow you to skip the beginning of the story.
This means you’ll now be able to start the game just before getting the Constanzia or after the end of Olima’s questline, allowing you to jump straight into Peren. These save files will allow you to choose between a female or male character, though you won’t be able to customize them via the character creator.

AND MORE!
This isn’t all, of course. Below are some of the other things this update will introduce:
- Game profiles – Pick the style that suits you best and get ready for battle!
- Enhanced crafting – Craft or upgrade your gear. If its time has come, you can even recycle it.
- Overhauled armour system – We made some changes to the armour system to give you an easier time in battle.
- QOL and improvements – Various improvements have been made to the game and its performance for your enjoyability!
- Bug fixes. Of course, we had to fix some pesky bugs making the rounds. Really, how did they get there? But don’t worry, we’ve made sure to squash these ones out:
Fixed an issue with floating items scattered across the realm - they're now properly grounded and can no longer ascend.
Fixed an issue where your companions will suddenly walk away from your camp after using the 'Gather party' function. There's no escape for them now.
Fixed an issue where blood inside buckets appeared pixelated in a certain laboratory. You can now admire it in all its gory glory.
