To vary up gameplay, each part of It will curse you once they’ve been cut! Each one has a unique curse, so be wary. You might need to end up changing your loadout and strategy accordingly.
Enhancements belonging to the current part that is cut will be disabled to amplify the effects of the curse.
We are also going to overhaul some menus to support this new feature, as well as a few QoL changes.
Fixed the issues with certain achievements not unlocking. Some achievements may require the player to achieve the state once more to obtain it (ie. If the player needs to win 100 times with a nominee, they will need to play and win once more for the achievement to unlock).
