The Big Art and Content Update is Here! Play the Demo!

Hey folks!

I have been terrible at posting proper release logs and have been silently launching updates in the wolf hour instead. But here is a big update on what has been implemented. (TL;DR at the top, full details below)

I finally had time to polish the visuals and really unify the game’s look. The new style is darker, a little rougher, and much closer to the vibe we originally imagined. Several streamers and testers pointed out the background art as a highlight, so I decided to fully commit to that style.

Last but not least, big thanks to the roguelike deckbuilding community for all the feedback and ideas. Stuff like the Plushie, Fly Agaric, and Red Pepper exist because of you, keep the ideas and feedback coming and help shape the game before launch, it's closing in fast.

TL;DR

• Visual Overhaul: The game now has a darker, rougher, and more cohesive art style with refreshed characters, environments, and UI to match the gothic-cartoon vibe.

• 5 New Locations and lore: Explore The Dumping Grounds, Crimson Ruin, Red Lake, Moons Hollow, and Hanging Rock.

• AddedNew Relics and CardsTons of new relics and cards to experiment with, including fun effects like summoning a cat, detonating grenades, and raising max HP.
• AddedStatus Effects ExpandedNew mechanics like Strong, Angry, Poisoned, Vulnerable, and more to spice up combat.

• Board Editor: Create and play your own custom boards.

• Quality of Life Improvements: Better tooltips, mouseover effects, and keybinding options.

• Fixes and Stability: Smoother performance, better UI interactions, and bug fixes.
