Having received multiple feedbacks about the game's difficulty, we have decided to create two difficulty modes:

SCRIBE difficulty mode: This mode offers a simplified gameplay experience:

  • Damage reduced by half
  • Red and yellow lights are less powerful

Water does not kill in one hit but inflicts damage over time - Tutorial available - Good ending inaccessible

The goal of this mode is to allow players to discover the game without the die-and-retry aspect being too significant.

PHARAOH difficulty mode: This mode is identical in difficulty to the previous single game mode. However, in this mode, tutorials are disabled by default. We have added a button in the PHARAOH difficulty menu that allows you to switch to SCRIBE difficulty at save points.

Additionally, several players expressed frustration with the light cycle, which sometimes required them to wait. We have thus chosen to add a button allowing you to change the light in exchange for Mâat.

Finally, we have made several fixes:

  • Improved dead zone for controller sticks.
  • Lowered the volume of the firebird's cry
  • Some texts were rewritten

Changed the color of the health bar to green when the player is poisoned - Health points are more legible - Changed the color of the dark blue doors to light blue when levers are activated.

We hope these changes will allow more people to enjoy the ATARAXIE experience. Good luck to you!
