A Few More Things...

• Cordy gets caught on stuff // Hitboxes feel weird -- The new patch should improve hitboxes somewhat. We're going to keep looking at it. Note most standard enemies + Cordy have hitboxes that go from their feet to their neck to keep in line with the art perspective.
  
  
• Cordy feels too slow at the beginning -- This is intentional. The core gameplay is designed around balancing shooting and rolling. Without rolling, Cordy is completely over-matched.
  
  
• The game is too hard -- Yeah, it's pretty challenging. That's also intentional. :) But it gets easier, we swear! Partially thanks to lessons and the counselor. And if you're really good, you'll eventually be able to beat it without lessons at all...
  
  
• Item X is OP -- If you're talking about the Fedora, yeah, we're nerfing it a bit.
  
  
• Restarting the game after each Chapter is annoying -- This is also intentional and part of the story! Still excited to see if anyone will solve the mystery behind Edgewood....
  
  
• This feels a lot like Binding of Isaac -- Yep, we totally love that game, and nothing else out there is ever going to match it! Don't Starve and FTL were also huge influences, as well as mainstream classic games like Diablo and Zelda: A Link to the Past. We just hope that we've brought enough new content/features that makes Our Darker Purpose enjoyable on its own.
  
  
• We want Steam achievements // Gamepad support // Mac Linux -- We really want to implement all of these things too. In general, throughout our Kickstarter campaign and beyond, we have tried to never make a promise that we are not sure we can keep. There are a number of technical issues to solve here, but that said, if we can get there, we will.
