The Void Rains Upon Her Heart - Veyerals

To prepare for the upcoming new Towers Mode and the new Burden items that will come with it, I've had to rewrite parts of how gifts are tracked and applied to your character. The main consequence of this is that any mid-run saves from the current version will not be compatible with the next update. To be clear, this is only referring to saving a run in the middle with the "save and exit" option to continue it later! The rest of your save file will be fine.

To make sure the transition is as smooth as possible, I am updating the game with these changes as v7.27 on Tuesday, August 29th, around 7 PM PST. If you have a suspended run from a previous version, it will just delete the run and go to the main hub menu.

You can also opt into the beta branch right now and already be on the new version! I will be merging the branches when the main one gets updated, so it will automatically put you back into the main branch. If you do this now, you will not have to worry about it later!

How To Access The Beta

Right click the game in your Steam library
Properties > Betas > v7,27 beta (no password needed)
And it will automatically download

These are the v7.27 changes available in the beta branch now and will be available to everyone on Tuesday

Updates and tweaks

Suspended Runs from a previous version will not load in v7.27 and above!
Internal work done on gifts to prepare the game for the upcoming Burden gift type
When checking Active Gifts, there is now a tag if the gift was given to you for free or traded to you during events
Changed the memory text for the Acid Rain gift

Changes to Events

Trading Events: Changed the mood gained from giving a monster their favorite quick gifts. Instead of a flat 7 points, it is now 5, 6, or 7 depending on rank + 1 more point if the gift is active
Trading Events: Chemory now gains extra mood points for gifts that have a smell that she likes
Trading Events: Monovai now gains extra mood points for certain gifts that are related to her
Trading Events: Several monsters have multiple new favorite gifts including some quick gifts
Trading Events: Several monsters have new reactions to specific gifts or types of gifts
Trading Events: Adjusted the max mood cap and amount of gifts some monsters will accept
Token Shops: Blot and Vitrea have several new favorite gifts and new reactions to them
Token Shops: The few gifts that gave more than 10 karma will only give 10 now (no change to tokens given)
Alter Your Fate: Abyss will gain more power from sacrificing gifts that were taken as a trade from other trading or token shop events
It is now required that the No One's Gift event is encountered at least once before other monster Free Gift events will appear
Scrambla and Boiler comment on gifts that they can store, but are duplicates of starting gifts or gifts that you took out of the link synapse at the start of the run.

Bug Fixes

Bonus Gifts offered in the cycle finale stages of Endless Stress would still need to be radiated

As always, thank you for loving those monsters!

Naturally, you won’t be fighting unarmed, either. Hold fast against the dangers littered throughout Albrecht Entrati's secret laboratory with an all-new Secondary weapon class — the otherworldly Grimoire.

Whispers in the Walls will also introduce the Murmur, a brand-new faction created by the Man in the Wall, along with a reworked and expanded Necramech enemy faction. No matter how you do battle, the forces arrayed against you have never been more fearsome.
