We've introduced a powerful new ability bestowed by the God Thoth: the power to bend time. This mechanic adds an extra layer of strategy and challenge to rogue-lite gameplay.
Given the game's dangerous combat encounters and tricky traps, it felt natural to include a way to slow down the action. Time-bending offers a versatile tool players can use to overcome obstacles and demonstrate their growing skills.
While this ability also affects your character, the impact is significantly reduced. By investing in specific perks and skill attributes, you can further minimize this effect, creating a more pronounced contrast between your character's speed and the slowed-down environment.
The Time Essence needed to activate this ability is replenished through combat, rewarding strategic play and encouraging a dynamic approach.
Whether you choose to save your Time Essence for difficult traps or epic boss encounters, the decision is yours. Remember, when faced with seemingly impossible obstacles, the power to bend time is at your disposal.
