Hey Sinners,
We just want to reiterate what we said yesterday and say a huge THANK YOU to everyone that has supported Blasphemous.
Since launch we've been collating your feedback on all aspects of the game, from bugs to gameplay. Even if we're not posting in all of your threads, rest assured we're keenly taking notes on what you're telling us.
You'll also notice that this is Patch 1, which means more patches and content updates will be on their way - launching Blasphemous doesn't mean we're finished!
Patch Notes
Major issues
- Player save game could be corrupted on rare occasions.*
- Player progress could be partially reset on rare occasions.*
- A backup system has been created.
- The player could be softlocked after killing Tres Angustias.
- Fixed "Grievance Ascend" gate locked after respawning if the player died while defeating Tres Angustias. *Unfortunately, if your save was corrupted it won't be recoverable. To help protect our players should future bugs arise, the mentioned backup system has been created.
UI issues

Gameplay issues
- The player could accumulate large amounts of vertical speed by pausing in certain conditions.
- There were screen shake and vibrations occurring after the player crouched at the bottom of a ladder.
- Crisanta could be damaged before the fight started using projectile attacks.
