- Post-Anniversary Update! - 15 April 2024
As it was written in Homer's Odyssey: etos ilthe periplomenon eniauton, or: "as the year rolled on, the anniversary came". And so here we are, just over 1 year into the release of PERISH! How did that happen so quickly? We've shared the ups and downs with you, dear player, as we all shared in dying and dying again to reach the vaulted halls of Elysium, only to be unceremoniously chucked into a fiery lake of punishment by the harsh strictures of King Minos himself. By this point, it's only fair that we take King Minos down a peg or two. As a small gesture of thanks to the thousands of you who have played our labor of love and suffered its manifold trials, we have released this kriton of the underworld as a playable character. Judge not lest ye be judged yourself, Mr. Minos. Perhaps more importantly, PERISH is now officially on consoles! PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S. Controller-dwe…

Saves can be found in %appdata%/Local/PERISH/Saved/SaveGames and any of the “PERISH_Save_BackupX” files can be renamed to “PERISH_Save” to use one of the backups Make sure to do this while the game is running, or with Steam cloud turned off.
