New Boss: Zomero

We have a big boss overhaul with an initial Fallout-style dialogue system which you can learn more about Zomero. Will you choose to fight him or convince the demigod to let you go?

The fight is now more exciting and follows actual shoot-em-up boss style gameplay. How many times can you defeat Zomero in one playthrough?
