• MAJOR GAME UPDATE - 28 December 2022

  MAJOR UPDATE 1) Many performance and AI improvements. 2) Now when the monster attacks you from the front, you have a chance to aim and attack with your currently equipped weapon.

Now the sun casts shadows and they "LENGHTEN". Now the game lives up to its namesake with "Lengthening Shadows"!!!!!!!!
