Absinthia has its first free content update! This update is mainly for testing out Steam's Update Visibility Round feature to see if it results in a healthy bump in pageviews and sales. If so, I'll be planning out more larger content updates to expand on Absinthia's story!
Master Mode A fifth difficulty, Master Mode, is now available from the difficulty selection in the introduction. This is by far Absinthia's hardest difficulty mode, and it can only be selected from the introduction. If you switch off of it later by using the manual, you won't be able to switch back unless you start a new game.
Feline Island
A new location can be unlocked after speaking with Mr. Kitty on the ship (after obtaining the ship, of course). This island features a new endgame boss, Cleocatra, that gets stronger each time you defeat her. Cleocatra, as well as her kitty minions, have a high chance to drop stat-boosting items.
Rematch with Ibuki
Ibuki can now be rematched anytime after her first defeat. she has some new tricks up her sleeve and, similar to Cleocatra, will get even stronger every time she's defeated. She'll have rewards after her 3rd and 5th rematch defeats, and has a high chance to drop more stat-boosting items after defeat as well.
Full changelog:
A new island has appeared off the coast of Pense in preparation for the next content update. Feel free to visit, though there's not much there (yet)
Added a new stat-boosting item, Catspaw, that boosts Agility by 1 and is rewarded by defeating Cleocatra on her 1st defeat (and has a chance to drop from her each time, too)
Added a new stat-boosting item, Oni's Blessing, that boosts Strength and Intellect by 2 and is rewarded by rematching and defeating Ibuki 3 times (and has a chance to drop from her each time, too)
Added a new accessory, the Berserker Band, that drops from Ibuki after rematching and defeating her 5 times
Added a new accessory, the Ring of Zoomies, for defeating Cleocatra 5 times
Added a new item, Catnip, that is bought from Feline Island for 500 gold and used to summon Cleocatra
Added two new items, Swift Tonics and Swift Potions, that restore HP and MP and (usually) go first in turn order. Swift Tonics can be bought from Pangaea at the Sorrowmurk, and both can be bought from the vendor at Feline Island, in addition to dropping from certain enemies
Mr. Boat Kitty and the cats of Feline Island now speak in meows
Fixed Elle sometimes appearing twice in Katti Town after a certain story event
The ship now has a minimap icon
Fixed many tileset passability issues
Sera's Snowstorm and Nirvana skill damage buffed slightly, and Nirvana lowers slightly more Agility
Freya's Rotting Rose weapon buffed to grant bonus MP
Updated Jake's Neutralizer tooltip to reflect that it does not scale off of his Item Effectiveness stat (Grab Bag still does, though)
Apollyons were buffed slightly
Story Mode was adjusted so enemies have a bit more HP than before, but all other enemy stats are significantly lower
Hard Mode now grants enemies small bonuses to Armor, Intellect and Wisdom
Master Mode, in addition to giving higher stats than Hard Mode, grants many enemies the ability to absorb elements they were previously resistant to, as well as making Tank and Mage-class enemies even more resistant to physical and magic attacks respectively. Also, some slimes regenerate HP
Saving is disabled while in the Old Cabin in Katti Town
Added new achievements for:
-Beating the game on Master Mode
-Defeating Cleocatra 5 times
-Rematching and defeating Ibuki 5 times

- Fixed an issue that did not allow Dimitri to equip ammo in his offhand for guns of mythic quality.
Ammo can normally be equipped by Dimitri in his offhand slot if he has a gun as his weapon. There was an issue that some of the mythic rare guns late in the game that wouldn't allow Dimitri to do this.
