Hello everyone!This patch introduces some new items and reworks many cauldron items that we thought were lackluster.

- Patch #13 Mouse/Keyboard only controls, tome rework - 30 March 2026
Hello everyone!Controls optionsIt is now possible to play He is Coming with new controls, "Mouse only", "Keyboard only" as well as "Mouse + Keyboard" which has been the default and only option until now. Feedback on these controls is greatly appreciated, let us know what you like and dislike about it and we'll adjust it to be more intuitive if needed.Tome reworkWe've seen feedback that tomes feels weak and bad to use. Our vision for them was to be an effect that triggers later in the game but has potential to swing the match, not an ongoing value engine like the plethora of "Turn Start" items already in the game. So we've increased the countdowns and made the effects more powerful. With this change we also shifted all tomes to rare rarity and made a new rare event where you can choose 1 of the 3 arcane items to enhance your tomes.Not many balance changes apart from the tomes this time a…

- Patch #12 - Woodland update, backpack, weapon modifications - 4 March 2026
Hello everyone!This patch has been a long time coming, we just could not stop adding stuff to it. The wait until the next patch, which will focus on adding mouse only & keyboard only controls, will not be as long. Woodland updateWe've given woodland a visual update, making all biomes more distinguishable as well as assigning a featured event to the 3 regular biomes where Merchants only spawn in the Rocky Plains, golems only spawn in Flower Fields and cauldrons only spawn in Pine Barrens. All rare events also got their own biomes making them stand out more.BackpackPlayers have been asking for a backpack since forever but we've been hesitant, making tough decisions with your limited inventory space is a core mechanic of the game which we like. We don't want players hoarding every item but we also understand it can feel bad to constantly throw away items.This patch adds 1 non-combat backpa…
