We know we promised we would finish updating D'LIRIUM and switch to The Golden Rogue. But as it turned out, we found more and more flaws that needed to be fixed. We just decided to make the game better!
The players who followed our Discord server knew we had a vacation in November. However, this did not prevent us to release a new Beta-12, which is a lot of fixes and innovations. However, by fixing Beta-12 bugs throughout the four updates, we've added too much new stuff. So instead of Beta-12.5, which we originally wanted to dedicate this announcement, we will dedicate it to Beta-13.
Before we talk about the important innovations, we will list all the changes that have been made to the game since Beta-12.

Beta-13.4

A huge amount of change, isn't it? We want to highlight three new features: removed skips, sacrifices and a new monster.
With removed skips everything is clear, players will now have to explore levels, players will no longer be able to miss important scenes for the plot. This will help lengthen gameplay and avoid misunderstandings for new players who often skipped plot inserts, even if these inserts are now minor.
Sacrifices, this is a new mechanic that will make the map useful, because now the player will be able to sacrifice part of their health to see the location of keys, doors and secrets on the map. The player will not get everything at once, so he will have to sacrifice again to see a more complete map. The player will have a reason not only to save the souls of killed monsters, but also to destroy them in order to replenish their health.
And a sweet surprise – a new monster! We won’t tell you anything about it, but he will surprise you and make you be afraid of meeting him!
We hope that this time the game is ready for sure and nothing else will have to be fixed. By the way, you've probably already noticed our new update numbering. We decided not to number each update with a new number, but to highlight the minor ones. However, it does not matter.
