Early Access Wave 2 - PLEASE READ (Patreon)

As noted in the actual post, I encountered an issue when carrying over my save data that led to death butterflies not properly spawning in all maps. Still, if you'd like to carry over your data, make sure you first speak with the Forgotten Maiden standing beside Broomhill Farm

Speaking to her will configure a few things, fix your broken UI, and give you the Jester bosses unique item drop from last chapter. In regards to Chapter 5, I have also added the prize exchange to the prize tent.

Simply interact with the balloon barrels with marked effects and you can trade your Carnival Tickets for prizes.

Wave 2 includes the entirety of Chapter 6, and with that comes two new dungeons to explore. Broomhill Sewer is a decent sized optional dungeon. You can find new enemy encounters as well as some new puzzle mechanics. Unfortunately, I was unable to add tutorials to this section just yet, but it should be pretty simple to figure out. Just push boxes into the water to create bridges.

There's also a lethal gas leaking out in some areas, so make sure you don't stand in the fumes for too long. The Sewers introduces three new enemies with the Plague Rat, Plague Slime and Plague Roach. Better hope you have some cures for poison in your inventory.

After that you can team up with Hati to explore the chapters main dungeon and progress the story. The Crows Den features some puzzles and traps that you'll need to overcome. You'll have to do a mixture of operating levers on walls and pushing boxes onto pressure plates to unlock the various gates and navigate through the dungeon.

A variety of brand new, never before seen story content is waiting in this build, so do go check it out if you've been looking for more!

FAQ

​Will the Early Access Wave 2 content be added to the free demo, or be given away for free at a later date?

​No. However, the Demo will be given a small update to introduce the flask system and UI now that it's been properly set up between Wave 1 and 2. That should launch this week after I make sure it meets Itchio's file size limitations.

Does buying Early Access Wave 2 entitle me to the full game when it releases?

Like with Wave 1, it does not. However, Wave 2 should be available for free to everyone who purchased Wave 1 already or is an existing paid patron.

Are there any known issues or cut content?

​Yes. As mentioned above I encountered an issue where butterflies failed to spawn in certain sections of the Sewers in particular. It's not game breaking but it can derail your progress a bit. Until I can confirm if this is a widespread issue, or something that was only affecting me, I've enabled the ability for you to save the game directly from the main menu. I don't want people to have to restart just for one new chapter, but I also don't want anyone to deal with the frustration of losing all their memory fragments or having to redo an entire dungeon because of this bug. So, I'm playing it by ear to see what happens when other people try to carry over their own save data.

Aside from that I have omitted the next two classes. Red would normally awaken the Hanged Man and the Moon upon completing Chapter 7, but since there's no further content beyond that point, I decided to save those classes for the next Early Access build.

If you have any more questions or thoughts, leave a comment and I'll do my best to respond in a timely manner.
