Hi everyone!

I'm very pleased to announce that the game is not only being updated with a number of additions, improvements & fixes, we're also adding a completely new game branch: Accessibility Mode!

Accessibility Mode is a fully separate download from the normal  build, and it makes a number of adjustments to the game for people who struggle with the faster QTEs or the difficulty of boss encounters. You may also prefer this version if you are less interested in planning your builds and worrying about stats and would prefer things be a little less challenging.

Note: You can carry over your old save to accessibility mode, but it will not retroactively modify your saved characters' stats. You cannot, however, carry over a save file from accessibility mode to the standard build.

Another important point of note is that as of 1.1.1, the Mac build is now officially too large for Itch and Game Jolt, meaning I'm unable to upload it here. I don't actually know how I can get around this problem for now, but considering how few downloads there have been of the Mac build, I feel confident in saying that if you reach out to me expressing interest and provide proof of purchase, I can get you access to a mirror.

We hope you enjoy!
