• Moral Status: Good, Evil, or Neutral
  
  
  
  • We added a system to count how many “Good” choices and “Evil” choices you made during your journey from chapters 1-3 and will determine the character’s Moral Status when finishing up Chapter 3:
    
    
    
    • Good: Good Points > Evil Points AND Good Points >=5
      
    • Evil: Evil Points >= Good Points AND Evil Points >=5
      
    • Neutral: not Good nor Evil
    
    
  
  
• How to earn Good Points?
  
  
  • Earn 5 Good Points for each Hostage saved
    
  • Earn 1 Good Point when making good choices in events or encounters (e.g. save or help people)
  
  
• How to earn Evil Points?
  
  
  • Earn 5 Evil Points for drinking Demon Blood (special relic)
    
  • Earn 1 Evil Point when making Evil choices in events or encounters (e.g. kill, rob, or steal from innocent people)
  
  
• You can check out your moral status by clicking on the profile picture of the hero, and we will add more guidance and in-game notification about good or evil choices.
  
  
• Multiple plot-based triggers: each character will trigger different plots and conditions to enter the Heaven Storyline after encountering Divine of Justice at the end of Chapter 3:
  
  
  
  • Wukong can enter Heaven Storyline with Good or Evil moral status
    
  • White Dragon can enter Heaven Storyline regardless of Good, Evil, or Neutral
    
  • Holy Monk can enter Heaven Storyline with Good or Neutral moral status

  • After each playthrough of 1-3 Chapter, you will randomly and permanently inherit 1 out of 5 features from the playthrough (choose to keep 1 relic, decide to keep 1 card, keep 100 gold, keep 1 talent point, keep 1 backpack slot) and continue the game from the beginning
    
  • These inherited features will be applied to all the playthroughs cumulatively so that you will get stronger and stronger after each playthrough. Of course, your enemies will get much stronger after each playthrough too
