Welcome to the Coven, Collectors! It’s been a little over two weeks since we unleashed 1666: Amsterdam. Since then we’ve been hard at work collecting the Lux and Nux needed to conjure our first update, and 0.2.1 is live now!
If you have any questions on the latest patch head to our dedicated thread in our #ask-the-devs channel on Discord, where our team will be keeping an eye out for your feedback on the changes over the coming days.
We genuinely couldn’t do it without you, so please do keep your feedback coming. Here’s what’s hitting the streets (and canals) of Amsterdam today:
New Stuff!
Quick Start - Once you’ve reached Esbat 1, a new option named Quick Start becomes available in the Main Menu. From there, you can start a new game that skips the prologue and starts the morning of Esbat 1. A Bateratze and a small inventory have already been selected for you.

World
Smoother navigation in the canal from the clearing to Elzevir

Improved jump links in canal cabins
Combat
Fixed an issue where enemies would stop attacking
Fixed an issue where players could lose control of Noa during combat

General

This is just the start of our Early Access journey and we couldn’t have asked for a better Coven to begin with. Make sure you are following on Steam and social media (as well as our very own Discord) to be the first to hear of our new features, bug fixes, tweaks and improvements.
Thank you, Collectors - From the 1666: Amsterdam Team
