  1.0.5 — Karma, a new tier of difficulty

  For those who have already descended into Yomi and returned. A new difficulty, Karma, awaits. New Karma difficulty Once you complete a descent, a difficulty selector appears on the Origin screen. Clearing one tier unlocks the next, and each tier carries every effect of the tiers below it. Unlocks are shared across all Origins — clear a tier with any one Origin and the next opens for every Origin. Per-Origin clear records The Origin screen now shows a banner marking whether that Origin has cleared the selected tier. Abandon your current run You can now discard a run in progress from the title screen and start fresh. (Keyboard: Delete / Controller: B / Mouse & touch: press the label) Changes Beyond Depth 81 of the Endless Descent, enemies now grow stronger each time you face them again. Health rises slowly while vigor and attack lead the curve — deeper fights stay short, but turn lethal. Adjusted the balance of some enemies. Cards can no longer be banished at the Smithy if it would take your deck below 10 cards. Curse cards count toward the total. Affliction stacks are now capped at 999. Fixes Fixed rewards and Shrines offering fewer choices than intended — in the worst case, none at all — even when candidates remained. This was most likely deep in the Endless Descent. Fixed the gold and jade shown on the map preview disagreeing with the amount actually granted. Added a fallback so you can always leave a Shrine, in the rare case the "Move on" option never became pressable.

  August 9 Update: Storage Optimization and Bug Fixes

  Smaller download Reduced the download size with no loss of visual or audio quality. Full game: about 500 MB smaller (roughly 29%) Demo: about 770 MB smaller (roughly 45%) Bug fixes Fixed an issue where selecting another card during the reward animation — at a battle reward or a Sanctuary — could grant a different reward than the one you confirmed. Fixed an issue where you could leave the Smithy while an upgrade or removal was still playing, returning to the map without the change being applied. Fixed the display breaking when a status effect such as poison stacked into three digits. Fixed the floor name not appearing in the header on boss floors. Fixed the dissolve effect not playing when a card burns away. Endless Descent Fixed a progression blocker where the floor just before a boss (floor 19, 39, and so on) could not be entered if it held a regular foe. Fixed the three-boss choice on the final floor not appearing from the second cycle onward. Fixed enemy escalation — the growing intelligence of foes you refight — resetting when you resumed a suspended run. Fixed deepest-depth records and depth achievements only being saved when you fell in battle. Your depth is now kept even if you step away mid-run. Fixed the Smithy, Sanctuary, and Cursed Ground backgrounds being the same regardless of floor.
