We're entering the final stages of Early Access - the release date for the game on Steam and consoles will be announced soon. Thank you to everyone who has played, submitted bug reports or made suggestions! The game has changed dramatically for the better because of your feedback.
I am deep in polish and bug fixing for the full release at the moment, so bug reports are very valuable. You can submit a bug report(which includes a save game to help me reproduce the issue) in-game by pressing / (slash key) at any time, or using the Options menu.
There is still a surprise or two in store for the full release. Thank you for your support!
Japanese Translation Update
A professional Japanese translation has been contracted for the full release. Thank you to Ava Wade, Lapinyan, and Yukinofu for your contributions to the beta community translation and making it possible to play the game in Japanese during Early Access.
Withering Rooms v1.21
New Features
* A special room has been added to the Church of Burdens only accessible by those who have obtained the Drink Me potion
Balance Changes
* You can now mix one wax of each color to craft a Warding Candle
* Levelling up now fully heals all stats and status effects, including Necrosis

* The final boss of the Blood Tower now gives you a choice as to whether you want to fight immediately

* In Narrative difficulty:
* Rather than suffering from the 75% health/curse penalty that other monsters do, allies of the player now have full health/curse but do 75% less damage. This brings the ally experience more in line with Standard difficulty, where allies live for longer but are not as deadly.

* The English (UK) or English (US) language option is automatically chosen based on your system's locale setting
* Additional Japanese community translation improvements
