Thank you all for playing my game! I’m happy that so many of you have enjoyed it!

I designed the game to be challenging, something that would take more than one attempt to beat. But right now, I feel it punishes failure too harshly. That takes away from the curiosity and fun I want players to experience. After all, I want you to enjoy playing my game.

So I’ve decided to make it a little more forgiving. A full party wipe no longer has to mean the end of a run: you’ll have another chance. I’ve also added a new item to help you out and increased the availability of useful items.

Here’s the full list of changes:
