We’ve been hard at work on our upcoming update: The Living Walls! Hopefully, this will be released in… a matter of weeks! 😏

I personally encourage you to listen to Joonas Turner’s guitar playthrough of The Living Walls while reading this update. Just, trust us. It’s epic.

🚨 SPOILER: THIS WILL BE REVEALING THINGS IN THE UPCOMING UPDATE!! IF YOU WANT A COMPLETELY VANILLA EXPERIENCE, PLEASE LOOK AWAY NOW!! 🚨

Okay, now that it’s out the way, let’s get into the good stuff!

Firstly, we want to show you what The Living Walls will look like, some enemies included:

We really can’t wait to hear feedback about this one.

I’M NOT DONE YET!! NEXT UP, LORE UPDATES!!

Oh yes, we’re adding in expedition logs and a bestiary.

Mini Shroom and Daddy Shroom, just vibing, as nature intended:

Oh, speaking of bosses! If you made it this far, here is a very Steam exclusive sneak-peek at our newest boss…😦🕷

DON’T IT LOOK EPIC?!

Name pending, but we hope to think of something clever and full of puns!
