The Void Rains Upon Her Heart

Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #43

Heya Voids and Voidettes!

It is your beloved Kitty Skies here and I am wishing to tell you Happy New Year and hoping you all have a wonderful 2021!

I would like to apologise about the radio silence on our end. We are still alive and working hard on bringing the final version to your soft paws. As gamers ourselves on Steam, we understand that it can be quite daunting when an Early Access game stops posting updates, but I am here to assure you that we are going to see this all the way through – and more!

We do have one final update planned before the full launch, but before that we wanted to implement new systems and iron out a lot of stuff in preparation for it. So, this update pushes a lot of changes and tweaks.

We hope you enjoy this surprise and if you have any feedback to the changes, feel free to let us know in the comments below or in the forums. We are highly responsive to each post!


As always, the full patch notes will be posted below, and we hope to see you lighting up voids very shortly.

Cardiac Event Recorder - Update #42

Hello Voidettes and Voids!

Surprise! Here's an update! We've got lots of different small tweaks for you all, but also a few bigger things! One new monster, a couple new dreams to achieve and some new power gifts! But first, here's a message from Veyerals:

So many new players picked this up during the Summer Sale and I just wanted to make this update as a thank you! With the exception of any bug fixes within the next few days, this will truly be the last update until the game is finished! There is still a lot of work to do so it won't be for at least a few months still. I don't want to make any guesses on the date yet, but it will be posted here when the release date is finalized. And as always, I will continue to reply in the forums here!

Also, we will be raising the price of the game by a few dollars very soon! Now's the best time to get the game, if you haven't already!
The content has been doubled since the last price increase and we feel that a slightly bigger price tag is justified.



And as always, here's the list:

Content Added


  • 1 new monster to love! (Total: 62)
  • 2 new Power Gifts (Total: 151)
  • 12 new dreams (Total: 394)
  • 1 new special event chapter to discover!

Updates & Tweaks


  • The "Radiate Tetrids" event has been changed into the Radiant Garden
  • Title cards for special event chapters in story mode will now say that they are a special chapter

  • Added an option to blackout the backgrounds during battles
  • Blot's paint turrets pop with a better sound effect
  • Increased the intensity of the bullet wobble on Alter Blot's second phase
  • Reduced Alter Roundsaw's movement speed when overleveled
  • Story: The best score tables are now shown for Mist Rain difficulty
  • Quickplay: controls were changed in the loadout menus so that you can now remove gifts with a single button press
  • Endless: Added title cards at the start of each new cycle
  • Endless: Changed the stage and cycle hud when choosing a monster
  • Endless: the monster level can be slightly reduced at the start of each cycle if the level is pushed very high in the previous cycle
  • Added small heart icons that show any active denial shields and fatal hit revives on your health bar
  • Your health bar is now shown on the main page of the Check Heart menu and in the Quick Gift menu
  • Improved the card art for Sentinel 4X
  • The "A key to love" event has a lower base chance to appear while being able to greatly increasing the chance if challenges are failed during the run
  • The dreams for collecting 25 of each color tetrid have all been increased to require 64
  • The bullet magnet effect of the Love Signal gift will now only affect alternating bursts of shots from your heart. Additionally, love signals will now also cause damage over time

Bug Fixes


  • Fixed bug where Chroma used Scrambla's fear and defense stats
  • Fixed a bug that prevented the Scrambla Maw helper from working correctly in Freeplay mode
  • Fixed a bug that would make rainbow ring barriers on certain monsters grow to massive sizes when hit by too much damage

Coming Soon


  • Just a few bug fixes and smaller tweaks before the FINAL CONTENT UPDATE

This will be one of our last content updates. In about a week or so Veyerals will bring us one more update, that will add dreams to all the remaining monsters that don't have them yet. It will also add Freeplay Mode where you can challenge any boss at any level with any amount of gifts, but you won't gain any dreams or tetrids from doing it. Think of it as a practice mode with no limits!

Let's check out the full update list!

  • Instead, up to 2 bonus karma can now be earned per battle by absorbing a certain amount of bullets with panic attacks
  • Fast forwarding through the karma rewards at very high levels of Endless Nightmare is now faster

Bug Fixes


  • None for now!

Coming Soon


  • More dreams
  • Freeplay mode


Stay tuned for next week's update! After it, there will be no more updates (aside from bug fixes) up until the whole story is done!
