Major Snapshot Release (#0)

The first Snapshot build is here! These updates will show a vertical slice of the game, one chapter at a time! The first Snapshot covers Prologue Chapter 0: "Another Dawn of Consciousness", where Cardbot finds himself in an unfamiliar setting.

The Prologue take place in two major areas: The Shrine of Memories and the Overworld. The Shrine of Memories is 90% complete, there are a few tweaks and mechanics to be added in the next Snapshot build. This section covers the main tutorial for the game, where you can learn the mechanics organically via exploration.

The Overworld will be a reoccurring location in the game that you can visit anytime, serving as a hub between the Dimensions and your Home. This section is about 25% percent complete as the overworld will feature new puzzles and quests that unlocks as you progress through the game. The graphics will also get overhauled in the following patches as well!
