Hello Reclaimers,

We have one more patch for you all before we close the office for summer vacation. It's full of small fixes and difficulty tweaks. The Gatekeepers' behaviour has been expanded to they can now react defensively. As always, feedback is appreciated so let us know what you think on our Subreddit or Discord.

Rock and Stone! With love, The Ghost Ship crew
