Hello, everyone!
Each patch brings the game into a much clearer shape, polishing current features and adding the remaining assets needed for completion. We are working hard to stabilize the game, apply minimap fixes, and enhance the environments of the maze and chapel. The hard work from everyone on the team has been really apparent and great to see. Hope you all are doing well into the holidays!
We weren't able to get the intro textual cutscene in, but we look forward to adding that into the next build patch.
