Developer’s Notes
I played the Early Playtest in September and/or the most recent demo during Steam Next Fest. What changes can I expect to find in the full game?
- The complete experience: 4 new biomes filled with new puzzle types, Enclaves and challenges.
- New daily quests - more quest types and the ability to cancel quests, giving the player greater agency.
- Improved player progression: addition of puzzles awakening, which adds improved sense of progression in completing the campaign, and ensures players engage with tutorials at the right time.
- Revisions on lore, map, costume art, user interface, puzzle collection, difficulty, and several Enclaves.
- And we also did something special with the pyramid...
