The beta9 update is now available. This update contains a lot of new content, bug fixes and polish.

If you have bought the game already, you can get the update by following these steps. If you haven’t bought it yet, but are enticed by the new features below, you can get it on itch.io or on humble.

Amongst the changes are:

• Local co-op multiplayer – attach a second controller to let a friend to control your companion
• 5 new enemy types
• 1 new companion
• Redesigned inventory
• A new telephone that can be used to contact NPCs remotely and access secrets
• Dripping blood that heals monsters when low on health, and the ability of the player to bleed out
• Old-timey CRT shader effect
• Tons of bug fixes

There are some massive story changes occurring, but they’re not complete yet. In its current state, not all quests are completable. If you’re not sure where to go next, check your map for the location of the next dungeon.
