Cursed Words: The Word Game That Isn't changes
v4.5 comes with plenty of new fixes and a balance change or two, but more importantly, it comes with a few new features that have been often requested. Have a read of the Additions, if nothing else!
Firstly, when submitting cursed words, Michael's chosen word submission is now saved and shown wherever you can see that submitted word. We went back and forth on this for a long time, and there are very good reasons we didn't put this in at release. In fact, originally Michael wasn't even going to tell you the word you submitted. This is a discussion I find interesting enough that I honestly might make a whole video about... But I digress, enough people have asked that we're doing it, but note that it's a setting you need to enable, so go check your game settings if you want it.
Secondly, the in-game menu now shows a Retry button so you can begin a new run with the current character without needing to go via the Character Select menu.
Finally, Escape will open and close settings menus whenever they are available.
