Hello, Travelers!
A new update for Shape of Dreams is here. This patch focuses on improving the overall gameplay experience with enhanced progression rewards, optimization improvements, and bug fixes. Let’s dive into the details below.
Progression

Required mastery points for levels 0–30 reduced by 30%.
Several overly repetitive achievements have had their completion requirements lowered:
