Made a new video showcasing some new stuff, such as day/night cycle, new skill system, new bigger Twin Falls etc.

The game has been released at Steam, but the Itch.io version is a little bit late. It's coming, but I'll fix some bugs first.
I'm preparing a content update and once it's ready, I'll release the game also at Itch.io. Sorry for the delay, I just want to offer you a more polished experience with more content to delve into.
Finally! I'm sorry for the delay, but today I finally released the game at Itch.io:

Today I also released the first content update, which is bigger than originally planned and is already included in the Itch.io release version. Patch notes can be found at the end of the release announcement.

Thank you for your patience!
My dumb curiousity got the better of me and I checked if there is a real place called 'Witchgrove' and lo and behold, there actually is one in the lake district of Finland.

Intresting, I wasn't aware of that. :D

Ahem, I translated 'Witchgrove' into Finnish using my head, not any machine translator, että sillä. The Finnish word I came up with is what I found on the map.
Here's a short video showcasing new enemy animations (attack, damage, status effect), which will come with the next update at least to the enemies shown in the video:

A new update brings some requested features to the game, improved assets and finally a new character class: Knight! But beware, you need to have some positive reputation before he is willing to join you. Knight can be found in the Castle Town Cathedral.

There are other new improvements in the party system: 1. When hiring a Hunter or a Shadow, you have the opportunity to choose gender for the character. 2. Female Mage and male Priest are also available, which means you can hire two mages and two priests to your party. 3. Every party member can be renamed when hiring them.

The Castle Library is also open in the East Wing of the Castle and that's where you find the female Mage.

But that's not all! There's also some graphical improvement in some places and three enemies have improved battle sprites with attack and damage animations.

I just want to say it's been a pleasure watching this game evolve into its current state, and I hope to see it go further!

Thank you! It's been quite a journey and I hope it continues to go well next year too!

I bought the game above asking price. Not much above, but still more than you charge even at full price. Your transparency and diligence are worth it. Have a coffee or beer on me! Merry Christmas!

You could also, of course, have someone who's only willing to join you if you have a low reputation.

Yeah, that would be a nice addition, so who knows. :)
