We may have been a little too confident when we labeled our previous balance update as FINAL! 😅
With that in mind, we've added a question mark this time around, in case further adjustments are needed!
From our observations, we've noticed two things.
On one hand, we've seen a fair number of players and content creators successfully achieve the Good Ending on their very first playthrough, without dying once!
On the other hand, we've also seen many players continue to struggle with the Sleep Paralysis Games, even after our previous balance updates.
With that in mind, we've made another round of adjustments in hopes of finally achieving the goal we've had since launch: Creating a fair, challenging, and enjoyable experience for EVERYONE! 🎩❤️
