Wayward Souls: Curse of Shadow
Update: Steam Deck Compatibility + Hatstravaganza
- A bunch of new hats added!
- New rare special rooms, to find your hats in
- Various tweaks for making sure the game runs well on Steam Deck
Let me know if there are any issues!
Wayward Souls 1.0 Launched, now out of Early Access!
Thanks for all the feedback and support up until now. We've added a lot of content and changes since Wayward Souls was available for Early Access, and a lot of the changes have come directly from player feedback. You can continue to give us feedback in the comments or on our official Discord, here: https://discord.gg/J7HChAa
Our future plans are to get started on new games, look at the mobile version of Wayward Souls to try to do a small content update there, and look into any extra changes for the PC version of Wayward Souls in future updates. Besides bugfixes and tweaks, I would particularly like to add Arena and Gauntlet modes for Paladin. I would also like to look into possibly adding a new item set for every character, a new set of 3 items each like we did during Early Access.
That's it for now! For new players, I hope you enjoy the game. And for all our fans, please look forward to the next games!

8/19 Small Bugfix Update

8/27 Launch out of Early Access! + New Bugfix Build

8/6 Update

- New hats
- Room adjustments
7/28 Update
List of Changes
- Endless Mode revamp that adds a chance of rare rooms to spawn. This is currently at about the third the rate of other floors
- Labyrinth bosses will now give you a random hat, rather than dropping a useless copy of their special hat every time
- Loot table rework, should hopefully make the forges and other loot drops more random
- Memory optimization
- Various small bug fixes and tweaks
6/6 Update
List of Changes
- A revamp to how randomness works in the game. The main goal of this is to make it so you get the same items from forges, shrines, and etc less. Let us know if this helped, or you can see any changes at all
- The water sprite pet should now properly slow enemies with its bolts
- New hats and rooms
5/21 Update - Fixes and Indicators
List of Changes
- Fix for the final Arena boss not showing up properly, meaning you couldn't damage it or win Arena for the last update

- Boar and Slime enemies should no longer be able to walk on the Shadow tileset's voids
- Energy bar will now flash when you try to use a move
- Indicator for Desperate Edge working, increases the effect the more hurt you are
- Joystick movement should no longer skip cutscene text
5/19 Update - Better forge crit descriptions
1.0 Early Access should be in 2-3 weeks, at which point the price will raise to $15.
List of Changes
- More specific numbers in item descriptions in the emberforges. This is mostly for crit chance, but some other numbers are now more explicitly shown also
- Added some extra ammo crates to some of the more difficult Arena floors, doing this first to see if it works before having to nerf some of the enemies in there. Golem, Library, and Slime floors now have 6 ammo crates instead of 4, and Demon, Faceless, and Shadow floors now have 8 ammo crates instead of 4
- Blast Marble, Flame Spray, Rogue Giantstompers, Flash bombs, and so on now properly interrupt bosses again
- Some monsters can now talk during attacks, with a speech bubble over their head
- If a Golem Rook pushes you into a corner and you can't escape, it will now explode. This will hurt you, but you won't be trapped forever
- New faceless rare room and associated hat
- Reduced Rogue's mage crit dagger by 10% for both levels, as the numbers were crazy and now they're less crazy
- 1% increase to adventurer chance of loot drop rate for his + healing sword, so the numbers look less funny
- 1% increase to Gallus Sunburst + sword, same reason
