The patch is available on the test branch of the game.
Learn more about how to get to the test branch here.

• New Tarot card - The Hermit (Bjorn) - added.
  
• Two new quests for Bjorn added. Bjorn has a special system of quests and rewards. Right now the rewards may seem insignificant. The system will be fully revealed with the new Tarot cards. Players will learn more about this system in the subsequent Tarot cards for Bjorn.

Thanks to the tournament, we'll be getting hot on Discord soon! https://discord.gg/XrjERDH9Av

Your RedBoon Team 😷

Knock Knock! A new tournament dedicated to Björn has already begun!

The tournament will run from November 19 at 18.00 Moscow time and until December 1, 0.00 Moscow time. Please note that results obtained before or after that time won’t be taken into account.

The tournament takes place on the test branch of the game. More on how to get there.

Tarot Card

It's time to discuss the properties of the first Tarot card and the difficulties it will bring. Bjorn will have to remember his druid training and get his transformations under control; otherwise he won’t be able to succeed in the upcoming adventure.

- All damage received by Bjorn in the lycan form increases by 200%.
- In his usual form, Bjorn can no longer play Skill cards.

The ability to balance and shift between the forms is the key to success. But will you be able to rein in the lycan?

Special quests

But these are not all of the novelties! Bjorn's quest system will be different from what Persival had. Right now we don't want to reveal all the details, but let's just say that as you unlock the Tarot cards, the whole idea of the new system will be revealed to you. You’ll see the changes on the first card, but they’re only part of the overall picture.

What's next?

We will be further developing the Tarot card system, because the first card is just the first step in new, fascinating adventures. The more cards you unlock, the more interesting and unusual playing conditions will become for you! We can't wait to tell you about our upcoming cards!

Don’t forget the prizes!

- The TOP 10 will receive a Knock on the Coffin Lid Steam key.
- TOP 3 will receive 2 Knock on the Coffin Lid Steam keys and a special role on Discord.
- The TOP 1 will receive 2 Steam keys and will be able to introduce something of their own making into the game (we’ll discuss it with the winner separately).

We also remind you that participants can’t use third-party software in the tournament, otherwise they’ll be disqualified.

All the latest news and discussions are on our Discord server - https://discord.gg/XrjERDH9Av

Gratefully yours, the Redboon team 💙

Knock-knock! Recently, we completed a tournament that received very good reviews and feedback, so we decided not to drag it out and start preparing for the next one!

On November 19, we’ll start a new tournament. This time contenders are going to play for Bjorn! Will you be able to rein in the lycan’s nature on your way to glory, or will you let the beast loose?


And, of course, the prizes! What do champions fight for? Even if you fight for glory and honor only, you’re still owed something for your efforts, aren’t you?

All TOP 10 players will receive a Knock on the Coffin Lid game key so that their friends can be involved in the adventure.

TOP 3 players will receive two game keys at once. In addition, we’ll give them a special role in our Discord, which will reflect their success in the new tournament.

The winner of the tournament will also receive two keys and will be able to introduce something of their own making into the game: for example, to coming up with the name of an item or to suggesting new mechanics, or maybe even lend their image to one of the characters. We’ll discuss the options with the winner privately, and then we’ll tell you what comes out of it!

We also want to show you the Tarot card that will be at this tournament. Not giving any hints yet – we hope you guess what awaits you!



That's it, there's a whole week ahead to get some resting, gain strength, and prepare for the tournament, which, we hope, will be as intense and fun as the previous one!

Knock-knock! Trick or treat?

So it’s finally Halloween – that strange, funny, and frightening holiday! Have you got your lycan costume ready?

The Redboon team wishes everyone a Happy Halloween! Don't let any ghosts in wells, lycans, or demons scare you. We know that you can defeat a zombie bear and even the terrifying Thing!

Whew... The tournament has given us a hard time. More than 60 bugs have been fixed. Here are the most significant ones:

― In the Puddle event , you now can’t get The Thing Without A Name if it’s already in the inventory;
― freezing in some battles fixed;
― the disappearing road in the swamps fixed;
― missing animation for certain elves fixed;
― incorrect quest mechanics fixed;
― looping music in the Castle battles fixed;
― incorrect display of the buff tooltip on the card fixed;
― effects of reducing card cost for the Veteran perk fixed.

Thank you for your reports in the game and on our social media.⚡️ Thanks to you, we’re growing and becoming better!

Gratefully yours, the Redboon team 💙

We’ve been away for more than a month working hard to make you happy. There are so mane innovations that we’re afraid to break something 😜 Until we check them all, the upgrades will be on the test server. And now, let’s move on to them


💥 New content:

We plan to obscenely expand and deepen the game’s world in the endgame. And we've already started working on that.
On the test server, you can see the first products of our labors.
There will be more in the future 🙂
If you’re not afraid of spoilers, then this is what’s waiting for you:

― Nightmares of Millenis – mysterious  new game mode. It will continue the plot, develop the story, give a new perspective on the events (yes, again – we like that) and lead to the canonical ending.
― Tarot cards – change the game conditions, complicate the characters’ journey and encourage them to look for new options. New options are given.
― Quests – chains of events that you’ve already seen, but you couldn’t even imagine that they somehow affect each other. But they do 🙂

There will be new events too, and quite a few of them.
― Dialogues in battle – how about some talking? Diplomacy will become an important element of the game – after all, you don’t have to fight every time. Although...
― New events – we’ve already said this, but just in case we’ll highlight it in a separate paragraph.


New quest items, effects and maps. Bitter Bride’s tears, Elven Medallion, Golden Buffalo’s Eye, Zaratosh’s Sword, Prapor Carbonate, the Nameless Thing and others. Every item has its own effects, advantages and opportunities.


🎯 Gameplay
― Scales visually changed - we just didn't like the old ones 😜
― Difficulties and Upgrades on the Scales redesigned. The number of levels, their effects and "Weight" changed.
―The contagiousness of the plague is now blocked by Ward
―Obvious descriptions of the effects in events are now always visible. Like spending 200 gold for an item, for example.
- Persival's starting card Crush replaced by Flourish

ːsteamboredːFixes
― Improved version of the Cruelty card fixed, now the addition of Bleeding works correctly
― Fire Shield bug for the knight of the Fire Brothers
― Location of the dwarf companion on the battlefield
― Changed the logic of the "Draw fire upon myself " buff, it’s now displayed after dealing damage
― Removed the animation of spitting for Giant Worm’s Confuse
― Instinctive card "Bloody Hands" now works correctly with Makeshift Claws
― Blood Thinning card fixed. Bleeding now increases correctly.
― Missing animation for some gnomes fixed
― Mechanics of the Orc's Boots fixed

― Location of units in the final battle when there are allies fixed
― Display of Shield of the Fire Brothers on the character in the inventory fixed
― Mechanics of the Blood Thinning card fixed

We are waiting for your bug reports and hot discussion in Discord https://discord.gg/XrjERDH9Av

Your Unresting RedBoon team 😷

Let the tournament begin!

There are a few more details you should know on the first Tarot card before the tournament starts.

Our game is created with the active participation and support of the community. This saved us earlier when the team disbanded and we had to pick up the pieces. We picked them up together and got where we are today. The worst is behind us, right? But it doesn't mean we don't need your help anymore. Now that everything is going well and in the right direction, it’s also important for us to:

― Synchronize our watches with yours and make sure that we’re doing everything right;
― Give out the goodies!

The tournament’s goal is to introduce you to the innovations that are waiting for you in the next big patch, and to test them at the same time.

So that your work doesn’t go unnoticed, we’re going to immortalize you inside the game. Yes, that’s right. Not all of you, but some of you will be immortalized for sure. In short, here are our prizes:

Sign a card invented together with the team of our game designers. Take part in the game’s development! Become the author of a new quest. Or sit for our artists for a new character (by the way, that’s how Fortune Seller came to be).

The "First card winner" role in our Discord server and special thanks in the game credits, as well as two game keys for friends.

One game key for friends.

All participants - The Helper status in our Discord server and inclusion in the game credits forever.


The tournament will start October 22, 15:00 UCT and last until October 31, 21:00 UCT. Results obtained before or after that time won’t be taken into account.
Important notice – there will be no fight with Millennis. The game will end after defeating Sigismund.

The use of third-party software is prohibited. In case of violation, the result will be removed from the ranking table, and the violator will be excluded from further participation in the tournament.

Otherwise, there are no rules – everything is in your own hands. Solve the quests, win, and surprise us.

As we wrote earlier, this Friday a tournament will start on the test branch. You can find out how to get access to it by following the link ссылке in the description.

We’ll publish the final conditions about the length of the tournament closer to Friday. Now, we’d like to tell you what this competition is about and how winners will be assessed.

The tournament will be held in a new game mode – Nightmares of Millenis. You’ll play the characters you’re familiar with, but under modified game conditions with additional difficulties. Let's take a look at, for example, the first card, which will be available on Friday.



As you’ve already understood from the description, you’ll have 8 Lunge, 8 Guard, and 2 Flourish cards. In addition, throwing cards recklessly will make long battles impossible – cards will become very expensive. However, there’s a solution: using a more expensive card resets its cost. Have you already guessed what perks and cards you’ll need to fully benefit from such a large number of Lunge cards? ;)

Beside the new conditions, there will also be some added difficulties on the Scales



These difficulties can’t be deleted, but you can add your own modifications, both positive and negative. We remind you that the more difficulties there are the greater point multiplier you’ll get. This is the key to getting to the top of the leader board.

Here are the difficulties that come with the first card:





As for improvements, you can use any available ones in the game.

And probably one of the most important changes is that there will be no battle with Millenis. So you don’t need to fill the inventory with elven ale ;)

So what do you think about these tournament conditions? Do you have any thoughts about the build and locations?
