UI & Visual Improvements

• Shop and Inventory exit buttons are now larger with brighter red coloring

• Option selection updated with a steel blue arrow + purple highlight text

• “Choose Difficulty Mode” screen text improved when starting a new game

These changes aim to make navigation faster and easier during gameplay.

Survival Mode Update (New Core Feature)

A new survival system has been introduced to deepen gameplay in Survival mode:

Previously, losing a card battle resulted in game over.

Now in addition:

• You lose 1 HP per minute as part of a food/drink (hunger) system

• HP will stop at 1 (not 0)

  • You cannot die from starvation

  • But you’ll be forced to manage resources, study, and prepare properly

Additional details:

• Mana Points are not affected

• HP drain pauses in menus (Escape / large menus)

• HP drain does NOT pause during dialogue events

• You can always save before battles or entering new maps

• Be careful - unexpected events may still happen

This system adds light pressure while keeping the experience fair and strategic.
