The Ritual Gauge
The ritual is not an ordinary “cooking recipe”. We need focus and dedication and.. and candles! We need to get the favour of the Gods by fulfilling their.. progression bar??
From now on, the cultists not just need to sacrifice, but also complete additional tasks to boost the morale.. I mean the meter. When it is filled, the desired deity shall arrive!

The Ritual quickens! Dashing now available to speed up your process and make walking less dull.
Item throwing
Work together or just aim well! Handheld items are now throwable!
What a bloody mess!
Prisoners bleed when they are freed, but you still shouldn’t feed! To show off our manners, we have to cleaning up after ourselves.
Note: If you see that new anomaly, that some of you call Blood Manifestation, which causes floors to bleed, do not try to eat it.
