Repeated intro
Hey everyone! We’ve been working hard to expand the progression systems and make each run feel more impactful. This update focuses on the brand-new Logbook, where you’ll unlock spells, modifiers, and relics by completing mini-objectives—adding more long-term goals and variety to every session. We’ve also introduced a major quality-of-life feature: Auto-Attack. This addition makes combat feel smoother and more responsive, especially during intense moments. And last but not least, we’ve done a significant rebalance pass, especially on the boss fight, making it much more challenging and satisfying to beat. Let’s dive into what’s new:
