Update #8: Major Addition To The End Of The Game!

Without spoiling too much, we have just updated The Magic Circle with a bunch of new content for the final section of the game! There are now nearly twice as many options available there, which is something that a number of players have requested since we launched. In particular a hidden aesthetic from the main game is now properly represented :).

In addition to the new content, there are also a number of usability tweaks and small bug fixes bundled in with this update as well. As always you can find the full update notes in the forums.

Thanks to all the people who have given the game a shot, it has been a blast seeing how much you enjoy it!
