Soul Devourer v0.4.0
We are excited to announce that we have released a new version of our demo. We’ve made significant changes to the gameplay! Enemy contact damage has been completely removed, and we’ve introduced a new parry system. This brings a fresh dynamic to combat, making the experience more engaging and strategic. Even if you’ve played the previous demo, we highly recommend trying this updated version to experience the new mechanics! Our project has been a bit delayed due to some personal circumstances earlier this year. As a result, this new demo includes only the first two scenes. Rest assured, we are actively working on new content and will continue to update the demo in the coming months. If you have downloaded Soul Devourer on Steam, the game should automatically get this latest version. Thank you for your patience and support as always! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44444896/4055e7849a339f38530e338f239313334de4842e.jpgRead full article on Community Announcements (studiowaterbear)AnnouncementsOfficial
