RUINS OF SHASAF

The ruins of the once proud wanderer city of Shasaf are located in the east of the Endless Desert. Magical storms and fortress walls reliably protect the peace of the city's inhabitants from careless travelers and desert spirits. They say that the passage to them will open only when a great evil is defeated. They also say that the city has long been empty and has become a haven for spirits...

MYSTERY OF THE OBELISK

The obelisks scattered throughout Teandria have long attracted the attention of various researchers! Such mages as Algus and Angelica have long tried to compare ancient records, and came to the conclusion that the monuments can be used as a kind of portals. However, to activate them, you will need a fragment of an ancient crystal hidden deep in the ancient Angalar catacombs... Players will be able to quickly move between already found obelisks after activating the crystal.

BUGFIXES & IMPROVEMENTS

After the release of any game, there are still things that require attention. Although most of the critical bugs were fixed immediately after the release with the help of small updates, nevertheless, there are still bugs in the game. In this update, problems with game levels, the ability to increase the chance of a critical hit and some other errors were fixed. In future updates, I will continue to fix and improve the game - but after my trip for treatment.

As always, you can leave your impressions of the update in the comments or discussions.

Enjoy the game! Your Silent.
