A tip in case of missed weapons!
Hey guys !
Just a quick heads up : if you didn't pick up the third weapon at the end of chapter 2, just keep playing until you find the 4th one. After you have it, save your game, then reload the save and you will have the one you missed in your inventory. You will be able to pick up the next weapon again so you will have all of them.
If the game proves too hard with or without the stronger weapons, remember that you don't need to fight : running and blocking is your best friend ! Hope that helps, have a good one !

Early Access Impending Release !
Decided to give the game more crunch time to smooth out some of the frustrating parts, even though it's early access. Hope you don't mind a bit more waiting. I think it will be worth it to give something special to you all.
With the demo version of last year, I had the chance to hear from a large amount players for the first time since development started. It was a lot of fun to see and hear what you had to say about every little part of the game.
These are just some of the clips that made me laugh or feel that it was worth it. Credit for the entertainment value goes to the players in this one. I'd like to thank everyone who commented, shared, made a video on the game ! Get ready for much more when the full game launches very soon !
