Bloodweight — what's new (1.13.1) 🩸

Big one this time: the Soul Teller finally steps into the game.

✨ New

• Read your chronicle right in the game. When a bloodline ends and you send it to the Soul Teller, you no longer have to hop to the website — the finished, written-out chronicle of your whole dynasty opens in-app, drop caps and all, and it's saved with the run so you can re-read it anytime. (The web gallery still works exactly like before.)

• The manual is actually good now. The Soul Teller sits you down and walks you through it: what you're actually doing each generation (in plain words), a clear step-by-step of the loop, and a glossary that explains every weird word — Weight, Witan, Troth, all of it. And you can pull it up mid-run from the pause menu, not just the title.

• A friendlier first hour. Your very first heir gets a proper hello from the Soul Teller — by name — pointing you at what to do first. New players shouldn't feel lost anymore.

• The world repeats itself less. New variety system so you stop getting hit with the exact same event back-to-back.

• Rival houses mean something. Fewer of them on screen, but each one's named and actually matters — when a house moves against you, you'll know which one and why.

🛠️ Fixed

• The quill cursor was vanishing / doubling up with your system arrow — it's solid now, drawn properly, no more disappearing.

• The game was showing the LÖVE2D heart icon instead of the Bloodweight mark — fixed.

• The BACK button in the in-game chronicle was dead — works now.

• An heir's earned legend/nickname was bleeding onto every heir after them — fixed.

• You could accidentally send an unfinished run to the Soul Teller — now it waits until the line actually ends.

• The "…writing your chronicle" wait now animates instead of looking frozen, and it holds your hand to the READ button so you don't miss it.

• A pile of little manual + text cleanups.

Go start a line. See how far the blood carries.
