I am working on the Hard mode and also doing some work on the achievements. I just wanted to keep you updated. Here are some more snippets from Hard Mode.

You arrive in town early.

This means:

  • More Enemies

  • Some Hard Mode only NPCs (3 of them so far)

  • Some encounters that are specific to the Hard mode

  • Some brand new puzzles

I have also added limited saves with the hard mode. So you will have to scavenge for them.

Thank you all for being so active on the comments of the patch notes and discussions.

This is starting to feel like a community, for which I am incredibly grateful for.

As for when the Hard mode will come out.

I suppose I could make it to this friday. AGAIN, NO PROMISES. This includes a lot of testing which is hard as I am a solo dev.
