WEEKLY RELEASE 0.21
We are releasing a new chapter with this weekly update, a trip back to the sewers, this time it's not about finding a way through for the heroes, but a way through for all of Repentance.
You will find the beginnings of short stories in certain chapters, I will leave it to you to figure out which.
Unfortunately this release will reset your saved progress :(
Expect to see more chapters released next Friday.
NEW
- "Elle's rituals", quotes on the menu screen talking about our kickstarter backers in a cool way
- Chapter six: Route through the Sewers
- Angry Wraith event in Chapter: Will to Power
CHANGE
- Replaced the cutscene preceding chapter two, it is really nice :)
- Background music now reacts to low hope
- Comic book page layout now adapts to number of facets
- Adapted the chapter overview so that it now only shows nine chapters
BUGFIX
- Negative offense on character facets is no longer possible
- Some events did not have sound effects or ambience
- Facet stats only apply when event response allows it, but introduced in the last release
- When a response was clicked the game would sometimes not allow facets time to return
WEEKLY RELEASE 0.20
Minus one chapter for this release, we have decided that chapter three is too "grindy" and the story we want to tell with it can be told in the following chapter. For that reason we have merged chapter three and four. We will still deliver nine chapters in the final release.
We've also prepared the code needed for more in chapter stories, so be ready for that in the coming releases.
Emanuele is working on some nice comic book inspired cutscenes, that will start coming out next Friday.
Also expect another chapter on Friday.
NEW
- Incubus event got its picture
CHANGE
- Improved design of speech balloons
- Merged chapter 3 and 4 into one chapter
BUGFIX
- Fixed text in some response requirements and effects
- Game ending "sleeper overwhelm" got its picture
WEEKLY RELEASE 0.19

WEEKLY RELEASE 0.18
We have been listening to the feedback you guys gave us. You felt that there was a dominant strategy, to fix this we rebalanced some of the responses to avoid that one response feels superior. More balancing will come in the future as well. Some felt that the game does not reveal its strategy, to improve on this we made a how-to-play video that you can watch from the main menu.

- Art - Response 'Ambush' picture
- Art - Response 'Relocate' picture

- How-to-play video in the main menu
CHANGE
- UI - removed 'depth' from in text icons, to make them easier to read
- 'Made by Roosterlandia' is now written over the credit pictures
- 'EARLY ACCESS' label on the menu screen
- removed 'dead' icons from response effects
- replaced the use of '/' with 'for each' in response requirements and effect for better clarity
- removed green borders from character facets
BALANCING
- Nerfed 'Assassinate'
- Nerfed 'Ponder'
- Buffed 'Do Nothing'
- Nerfed 'Melee Brawl' (if failing to kill enemy, only)
- Buffed 'Misdirect'
