• Core gameplay overhaul

• PC/Mobile testing

Hello everyone,

Please excuse our long silence — it was necessary for our team to focus on major changes and a thorough overhaul, based on feedback from our community. We hope these upcoming updates will exceed or at least fit your expectations as players and ease varied frustrations from disastrous experiences from current Early Access.

Thank you for your continued support and honest feedback. Through your reviews and gameplay, we've recognized that some new mechanics in this sequel have unintentionally drifted away from the core Roguelike deckbuilder experience you loved in PO1.

We've decided to address this with a complete rework and major several changes of the core gameplay, improving the game experience:

• Card Removal: The action to Remove card have been added on Fisherman Island. (Good for small deck-builders)

• Card Evolution: Auto-evolution is now cancelled. The same cards can be "Unite" and pair on Market or Great Bazzar. No limitation on taking same cards (Rediscover the pleasure to create your infinite loop deck again!)

• Shield: Removal of the block-per-action and a return to a classic shield system that blocks damage.

• Events: Complete rework of the event system with Additional Events to explore and secrets to discover.

• Map: Rework by stages. Removal of open map navigation and progressive difficulty by islands. Staged-based maps requiring the completion of quests and the defeat of elites and seamasters to continue.

• New cards: 45 additional cards with new evaluation trees and major updates.

• New Relics: 7 New Relics and several improvement due to new shield system.

• Golden Cards system: Workshop cards are no longer limited. After being discovered and crafted at the Workshop, all crafted golden card can be found during a Journey.

• Cryptex: The Cryptex is now available in Arena, for the player in needs of challenges.

All previously shared changes include a large amount of adjustments and several balances.

This will take time. All plans — including Chapter II and the international mobile release — will be postponed until the rework is complete, and we cannot provide a specific timeline yet. We know this may be disappointing, but taking the time to get the foundation right is the responsible choice for both the game and everyone who supports it.

Once the changes reach a stable state, we hope to start a new round of PC/mobile testing* — giving you the chance to experience a smoother map flow, clearer combat pacing, and rebalanced encounters built on the new foundation.

Thank you for staying with us. We intend to make it worth the wait.
