As I am focusing on finishing the release content, this patch mostly contains some balancing changes, as well as some more "juice" specifically for card unlocks. I also switched around the cards that are available in the demo to make the experience more interesting, and to better represent the kind of cards you can expect in the full version.
Another interesting change is that "Agitated" now just doubles incoming damage.
[0.5.0] - 2026-09-15
