We're here today with a much larger update than the previous times! Including a healthy dose of bug fixes, but also some balance changes and adding some previously missing stuff!
Note
Some players have reported having issues with audio suddenly being jumbled up. This seems to be due to Steam's newest update. One person reported fixing it by disabling In-Game Overlay.
In the Steam Client, click on Steam (top left) => Settings => In Game (between Cloud and Controller) => Untoggle "Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game".
Please let us know if that fixed it for you!

- Trolls no longer abide by the rules of the Ministery of Silly Walks.

- Fixed the number of Indomitable uses not being displayed correction in the reaction pop-up window.
