Hello everyone! Ink Stains Games here! Wed like to wish all of you Happy Holidays and to present you the long awaited update for the Prologue as a Christmas gift. The original Prologue was published in May 2018. At the time it was more of a proof of concept, designed to demonstrate Kickstarter backers our vision of the future game. A lot of time has passed since then, most systems of the game have changed beyond recognition. And at some point the Prologue grew so outdated that updating it became a priority. Now the Prologue is mechanically equal to the main game and we hope it will make it easier to wait for the February release :) The list of changes is too expansive to be presented in detail after all, this update includes a year and a half of hard work. The Prologues structure remains the same, but if we are to list the most important changes, here is what you should expect from this update:

• An improved tutorial with detailed advice on main game mechanics.
• Vampires were swapped with Proselytes a new group of enemies with their own set of abilities.
• A reworked boss fight, which now consists of two consecutive phases instead of two parallel outcomes.
• A reworked health, injury and needs system. The old Prologue had it functioning based on RNG. Now its a transparent, deterministic process which you can assess at any time.
• More weapons, equipment and all kinds of items.
• Abilities from the closed beta are now available in the Prologue.
• Destructible environment. Press CTRL to attack environmental objects!
• Reworked Dual Wielding system.
• Lots of QoL improvements: better controls, more hotkeys, item comparison, inventory auto-sorting, pop-up hints and more. Though keep in mind that the game is designed primarily for mouse controls.
• Most of the game art was reworked.
• Dialogues and lore notes were rewritten to better clarify the opening events of the story. New voice-overs for the characters.
• Lots of changed and added mechanics (reworked Attributes, for instance).
• A reworked UI.
• Fullscreen support for 1366768, 1440900, 1600900, 16801050, 19201080 and 19201200 resolutions.
• Added an event log.
• Last Hope and At What Cost? achievements were replaced by The Bitter Beginning and Eternal Hunger achievements. The rest of the achievements were updated to fit with the content changes.
• Enemies learned how to open doors.
