What is planned for the prologue :

Quality of Life - 1 : See the changes in the stats upon leaving the shop (eg : +2 next to the damage stat, if you've taken a card that boosts your damage) - Quality of Life - 2 : Extended Stats GUI with more data, such as Critical Damage modifier, Fire/Ice/... Chance percentage, ... - Map Variation : More map variations for the first area - Traps & Environmental Interactions : To make the map feels more alive, we'll add spikes, magical flying books, traps that you can activate, portals...
