Important Announcement
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the temporary closure of Animitta's Sanctum. The underlying framework of this feature, built in early 2024, has faced increasing issues as the game versions updated. Despite our best efforts to resolve them, continued bugs have made it increasingly difficult to maintain. To deliver better content for everyone, our design team is working hard on new mechanics for Animitta's Sanctum. Stay tuned as we reinvent this realm in the future!
The end of March update is here! Look forward to our summer update, where we will introduce a brand new Realm of Ink!
