SPOILER
To begin the quest to discover the black flame you must [spoiler] be playing as the Pyromancer and defeat the Ebon King in Castle Usvit. Locate and read the Tome of Black Flame once the boss is defeated. [/spoiler]
Version 0.8.7 also brings in a handful of requests from our player feedback list, some QoL updates and some bug fixes. Full patch notes below.
Patch Notes 0.8.7
- New Quest: Discover the Black Flame > discover ancient secrets and new powers

- Hit Detection: Added controller vibration when the player is hit. This can be toggled off in the Options Menu

Coming Soon
We are getting close to finishing version 0.9 of Keeper's Toll, and with this major update brings the next and final character class of the game: the Blood Maiden. We're going to keep details about her a surprise for now, as we are doing some interesting things with her and we feel it will be more impactful if you don't know what's coming :) We're excited to launch her and we hope to have her in the game by the middle of next month. We will update our plans for the remainder of Early Access once we transition to version 0.9.
If anyone has any feedback, bugs reports, requests etc. please don't hesitate to reach out. We read everything and will do our best to respond as soon as possible.
Thank you,
