In Her Shadow — v1.2.0 Update is Live! (Patreon)

Cheers everyone — version 1.2.0 is finally here and it's a big one!

This update isn’t just a patch — it expands the core of the game in a few exciting ways while laying the groundwork for much more to come. Here’s what’s new:

New Recruitable Partner (Not the one on picture)

A new companion joins your journey, complete with her own unique growth mechanic and personality. She plays very differently from the demoness and brings new dynamics to both combat and story. You’ll meet her as part of the new questline.

Team Management System

You can now manage your active party, switching between companions and eventually balancing synergies between them. This is just the beginning — expect more depth in future builds as more companions are added.

New Location + Enemies

Explore a brand-new area with fresh enemy types, new challenges, and story progression. Combat will feel more varied, and the new enemies are designed to push you to use your team and items more strategically.

Another Visual Rework & UI Polish

I’ve cleaned up a lot of the interface visuals and sprite presentation to feel smoother, more consistent, and easier on the eyes — especially during combat and dialog scenes. You’ll also notice some changes to backgrounds and menus.

Save Compatibility Note

Due to internal changes and new systems, older saves may not be fully compatible. A fresh start is highly recommended to fully experience the new content and avoid potential issues.

This update brings more variety, more personality, and better tools for building your dream team — and it’s just the beginning. Thanks so much for all the feedback and support so far! I hope you enjoy what’s new, and as always — let me know what you think!
