Hey everyone,
Spooky Season is upon us, and we bring frightening delights! In this update we have finally dug into the meat and bones of the Chapter 2 remake, reworking the core "challenge" mechanic, adding new characters and events, art, animations, tasks, and more!
First, let's talk vampires. Specifically bruxas - Sabrina has 2 of them, and we have made sure to bring them as a rightful part of the journey. You will find new events and mechanics as well as art to really sink your teeth into.
Next, a note on the mechanical remake - unlike Chapter 1 where lust and sanity progress at a slow, gradual pace, Chapter 2 is marked by fast swings in Alex' stats, and the new Challenge mechanic which determines whether you fail or succeed at your tasks.
The core difference we have brought is making challenges dynamic, with values that are affected by numerous factors, and swayed by Alex' personal journey. For example, ignoring your Debt to a sinister force is no longer an option, as it will slowly make challenges more and more difficult until Alex pays it. On the flip side, new opportunities have been added to improve your thresholds and make challenges easier. To make sure that all these mechanics remain clear and transparent, we have also made the "challenge" icon clickable, revealing a new interface with more information.
Of course, you will also find more on Alex's succubus progression, from her nefarious encounters in The Crypt, her having to deal with the cursed heads, and new events and art.
(Quick heads up note: Due to a last minute issue, one of the crypt branches will be patched in on Sunday since I couldn't fix it today - apologies)
