• Fixed an issue where items placed on a deep-frying tray would disappear when stacking trays.

• Implemented measures to prevent objects from disappearing under certain environmental or situational conditions.

WE'RE FINALLY BACK BABY! 🦇

It's been one hell of a long month but September is almost over, and the new update has arrived just in time before it does. It's been quite the wait and the MURDER-MYSTERY UPDATE comes packed to compensate that. So let's get right down to it!:

• New Companion Questline. After receiving a message of a murder from one of the illustrious residents of RAVENSBURG, the pompous and authoritarian Lady Bruchâtel, the party must take the task to find the culprit of a heinous that finished her Mr. August, her dear butler.

• Focus on Investigation and Clue Finding. This time the players will have the opportunity to resolve a quest through purely non-violent means. This mission is designed to test the mental agility (or persistance!) of the players instead of throwing them pure beat-with-a-stick challenges.

• 5 New and Fleshed Out Characters. A proper mystery needs interrogations, questioning, suspects and possible allies. And all of it was included here with new characters! Not only they come with interactive dialogue lines, but also illustrated portraits with different expressions.

• 35+ New Fully Illustrated CGs and Variations. Oh yeah, I know some of you were waiting this by the hour. The new update comes with a juicy set of optional romance scenes for casanovas. Can't say much without spoiling it; but they feature new colouring techniques and full resolution drawings!

• New Relationship Point. Characters who enjoy romance now can further their relationship with Heratriz, the dark maiden. Although, for that, they would need to have complete her previous questline!

• New Original Soundtrack. Our great composer delivered another banger inspired by Goth, Metal, Dark Wave and other vampire-adjacent music genres. We uploaded it to YouTube so can check it right now!

• New Lore Addition. Players might finally see a member of the Kerrat race, which was mentioned in other instances during the game.

• Retro-compatibility. As always, the new update is compatible with older saves for players who have progress in the story or already finished it! Everything you have to do is load and play from there to see the new questline.

• Finally... RAVENSBURG IS NOW ON SALE WITH -40% OFF! If you had any friend interested in vampires, you have your new recommendation!

If you enjoy the game and these updates, please remember to leave your review on Steam! They help the game immensurable more than you think. You can join us on Discord to comment or ask any question.

Dev Notes: Initially I wanted to throw this update in the middle of September. But I also wanted to offer something new and that's why I decided to try my hand at writing a proper, serious mystery. I also acquired a new drawing tablet and computer, which allowed me to try new drawing and colouring techniques. Much of this was thanks to all of you for liking this game in the first place, so thank you all.

In the future, I want to keep trying new interesting stuff.
And Halloween is coming so... See you soon!

It's time for another round of Balance Adjustments! We've heard your feedback and have been hard at work tuning the battlefield.

---

• Combat Pace is slightly accelerated across the board. Get ready for faster action!

---

• Claw Strider: Movement Speed increased by 70% and Attack Power increased by 100%. This will significantly enhance their ability to quickly return to the front line.

• Dual-Axe Fiend: Movement Speed increased by 70% and Health increased by 70%.

• Halberd Lord: Defense capacity slightly increased, Attack Power increased by 30%, but Movement Speed is reduced by 40%. Now a more deliberate powerhouse.

• Skeleton Guard: Health increased by 50% and Attack Power reduced by 50%. Attack Range slightly extended, and Knockback distance shortened. This unit is now much more focused on its tanking role.

• Bone Longbowman: Attack Range increased by 100%. Snipers rejoice!

• Divine Caster: Health reduced by 25%.

• Emissary Demon: Attack Power reduced, but Attack Interval drastically decreased. Overall DPS remains unchanged.

---

• Fel Wyrm: Health increased by 13%, Attack Power reduced by 30%.

• Fire Moth: Health reduced by 50%, Attack Power increased by 100%. These are now glass cannons!

---

• Reflective Shield: Shield Durability increased by 1000%, and the shield now 100% reflects all incoming ranged attacks. A true countermeasure.

• Dragon's Nova: Effect location now more accurately aligns with the actual damage area. What you see is what you hit!

• Chaos Assault: Attack range increased, number of hits increased from 8 to 32, and it no longer damages friendly units. Unleash the chaos, safely!

• Skeletal Arrow: Attack Power increased from 50+200%×Witch’s Attack Power to 55+200%×Witch’s Attack Power. A small but meaningful buff.

• Poison Wave: Cooldown reduced by 30%. More frequent toxin deployment!

• Fiend's Pact: Summoned Demon Attack Power increased by 500%, but Health is reduced by 50%. High-risk, high-reward summon.

• Shadow Archer: Duration increased by 100%, but Cooldown increased from 8 seconds to 10 seconds.

• Soul-Stealing Skull: Attack Power per skull increased by 40%.

• Fire Wall: Damage reduced by 80% (Note: Enemies will now take damage multiple times when walking through the wall). This changes its function from burst to persistent damage over time.

• Bloodlust: Health reduction changed from 1% to 1%, and Attack Power increase changed to 2%. (Assuming a small re-tweak of the values.)

---

• Overall Level Difficulty reduced.

• Chapter 4 Difficulty has been significantly reduced. We've heard your struggles here!

---

• A small new story scene has been added to the completion animation.

• Skill descriptions are now more accurate and clearly worded.

---
