  Community Update & Patch Notes

  Dear players, Over the past few months, we’ve primarily been working behind the scenes on improving the overall experience of the game. Our main focus has been on quality of life improvements, addressing smaller frustrations, improving stability, and refining existing systems. While these changes may not always be immediately visible, they contribute to a smoother and more polished gameplay experience overall. In addition, we’ve been developing new marketing strategies to help grow the community and bring the game to a wider audience. As part of these efforts, we’ve officially registered for Social Deduction Fest starting at July 13th, which we’re very excited about. It’s a great opportunity to showcase the game and connect with new players. We also want to be transparent about our current situation. In order to keep the project sustainable long-term, we’ve had to downscale the team. As a result, development and updates may move a bit slower than before. This was a necessary step to ensure we can continue supporting and developing the game moving forward. We truly appreciate your patience and continued support. Your enthusiasm and involvement mean a lot to us, and we remain committed to improving and expanding the experience. Thank you for being part of the journey! 🏰 🐛 Bug Fixes Patch Notes 2.3.19 Fixed several localisation inconsistencies across supported languages Resolved microphone issues in the waiting lobby Fixed certain tasks not appearing correctly in the task book Addressed collider issues in the safe zone that could cause players to get stuck Fixed an issue causing some cosmetics to appear invisible for certain players Improved overall network synchronization in crowded lobbies Fixed minor UI alignment issues on ultrawide resolutions Addressed occasional input delay when interacting with tasks Improved task interaction consistency Fixed rare animation stutter when transitioning between areas Adjusted spawn positioning to prevent overlapping players Fixed ...

  The Satanic Curse awakens…

  This is a fun one. At least one amazing new feature is hitting the castle in today’s update and its designed to shake things up in chaotic, strategic, and totally cursed way! First up: Satanic Curse has arrived, giving Satanic players a dramatic new way to literally doom their enemies. And a fun second addition this week is our newest minigame: Chest Miner, inspired by old-school classics that’s sure to bring back some core memories (and maybe rage). Shoutout to Kurrabiye for this one! But that’s not all, it’s October, and the castle is getting spooky with free rewards, seasonal cosmetics, and a fresh spin on the Wheel of Fortune. Let’s dive into everything new in v2.3.9🔥👇 🛠️ Game Development 🧿 Satanic Curse – Satanic players can now summon a global curse twice per game! Cursed players must locate a totem and complete a minigame or die trying. The shadows are watching… 💎 Chest Miner – A brand new minigame full of classic puzzle charm and nostalgic difficulty. It’s dangerously addicting and brutally satisfying. 🎃 Daily Login Rewards (October Edition) – A brand-new month means new free daily login goodies, including some of our most Halloween-themed cosmetics ever. Log in every day and get your spook on! 🎡 New Wheel of Fortune – The wheel has been refreshed with new cosmetics and an all-new piece of the coveted Fortuna Set. Give it a spin! Lobby UI Polish – We’ve revamped and improved several lobby UI buttons for clarity and smoother flow.
