Go into your Left-Hand Path directory, edit the .json file with your current character name, and change the "headlevel" to "Samael/Samael"

If you're not confident doing that I'm happy to update your save file for you - send me an email at info@strangecompany.org with your json file if you'd like me to do that. Features of the new release include:

  • Two new areas, Samael and Xanadu, totalling around 5 hr of play time!

  • 6 completely new enemies to confound and murder you.

  • 5 new spells and rituals.

  • A complex interleaved plot and brutal ultimate antagonist to overcome in Samael.

  • New, powerful talents to choose to aid your path through the Well.

  • The end of the Left-Hand Path story, complete with fully-voiced and motion-captured NPC interactions.

  • Quality-Of-Life improvements including health recovery at new heads and run option on locomotion.

This is a soft launch, so it's possible you'll encounter some bugs. Please let me know if you do! On very low-end systems near minimum spec, I'm aware of one performance bug related to unusually long play times. If you find your system starting to lag badly, get yourself killed or restart Left-Hand Path once you hit a Screaming Head. That will completely reset the lag. I'm looking into this bug actively, and please do let me know if it affects you. If that bug or any other bugs prove to be too severe or frequent, I'll roll back this release until I can fix them. Otherwise, I will be doing a full release tomorrow! Looking forward to hearing what you think of Samael and Xanadu! Enjoy, and do let me know!
