🎨 VISUAL & AUDIO DESIGN
- New Color Palettes – You can now customize the look of your run. Whether you're feeling bleak, bold, or something in between, pick the palette that fits. (See gif above)
- Original Soundtrack Complete – The full soundtrack is now in-game, with haunting themes to match every ruin, ritual, and revelation.
🧟♂️ ENEMIES & BOSSES
New threats have entered the cycle:
- Ghor'Mar, the two-headed giant in the Ruins—one head lives for battle, the other lives for fashion. They don’t always agree, but they both want you dead.
- Karnach, the Houndmaster, guards the Dark Keep with quiet fury—and a very real, very cursed beast.
- Maelor, the fallen king, awaits in the heart of the Keep. But to face him, you’ll need to prove you’re ready.
🧩 GAMEPLAY & MECHANICS
- Ultimate Ability Tree – Each hero now has a unique upgrade path. Shape your style.
- Dungeon Traits – Dungeons now have distinct challenges: more floors, tougher enemies, better loot. Survive 3 of 4 to reach the Dark Keep.
- Difficulty Modifiers – After your first win, unlock new ways to challenge yourself and raise your score.
- Maelor's Vial – He only appears if you’ve stacked enough modifiers.
- New Skills & Dice Traits – Tons of new build options to explore. Try new synergies and break the cycle your way.
🏰 NARRATIVE & PROGRESSION
Fully Implemented Dialogue System – Win runs to reveal more about each hero. Their pasts, their regrets, their place in the cycle.
New Events –
- Duelist – fight for glory
- Coffin & Gallows – bargain with your soul
- Grinding Wheel, Goblifly, Bird Event, Wall of the Dead – sometimes survival pairs with strange encounters
