Warriors from the Underworld! How have you been?

As I mentioned you in the 2020 recap video, during the first months of this 2021 I have been dedicating most of my time to build the physical rewards we promised from our Kickstarter.

But even so, I managed to continue working on fixes and improvements for the game. Among other stuff, the game now has...

• Full Controller Support with keybindings and configuration settings ????

• Loading background images for tally screens on mission replays:

• Configuration menus recreated and improved in their navigation:

• The artbook from Mayhem Pack (DLC) with new pages and definition:

And many other things, from bug fixes to general adjustments, you can see in the list from below ????

Hoping to have more news soon. Cheers from Saibot Studios!
