On the other hand, this update also includes three new NPCs created as part of a collaboration with ILT Juegos, who have lent their likeness to add their characters to the game:

  • Added the ability to unlock the Market with a new NPC (Mauri), who will allow you to begin your next run in the Tower with a mask from the start. It is a way to make the adventure a bit easier in exchange for some gold.

  • Added the ability to unlock Beatrix's Trophy Room. Once unlocked, you will be able to find trophies throughout the Tower that will be displayed in this room.

  • Added a new secret appearance for the three playable characters. Follow the clues given by a special NPC hidden in the prison to unlock it. This part is actually a very fun easter egg. Who hasn't wanted to play as a T-Rex? Now is your chance. Once you find the secret NPC, you will have to discover the location it hints at, and after solving the mystery, you must have Albert's Shop unlocked to access the new Dinosaur costumes (each character has their own costume).

Is that all? This update may seem small, but it is the final piece needed to leave the game in good shape for the coming weeks. I am preparing something big regarding The Shadowed Rune, so I invite you to squeeze everything out of the game and enjoy it as much as possible, because big changes are coming that will be revealed in due time. My goal is for The Shadowed Rune to become the best game it can possibly be, so very soon there will be surprises, new adventures, systems, and news that I'm sure you will love.

Ready for a new run in the Tower? As a Dinosaur? You will have to earn it.
