This week's update push some small feature updates, locale fixes and game balancing updates.Easier Way To Cast PandemiksSince we have moved to a passive effect selection for Pandemiks, we can have made the selection and usage of Pandemiks to be easier.Simply click on the Pandemik you would like to cast them. Pandemiks that are active will be colored in the panel. To inactivate, just click the activated Pandemik again. Easy-peasy.Usual Locale And Translation FixesAs we reworked many of our features and keep adding on more, we might miss a few text blocks for translation here and there. But we are on top of it and fixing them up!Game BalancingWith all the rework going on, Sinners now come easily and they stay for a longer time. This means resources also come slightly easier. We have tweaked the costs of structures so that the game does not progress too easily.That's it for the week folks!…

- Another day gone… 24 hours left - 7 August 2025
Another day gone. 24 hours left until the Prologue drops.It’s weird, right? We've been working on this for so long, and now it's finally happening. Just one episode for now. I know I’ve said it a lot… “Episode 1 only, Episode 1 only”… but have you actually seen what this episode is about?We just uploaded all the cutscenes from Episode 1, if you're curious, I really recommend watching them before playing. You might start to feel what kind of world this is. The tone. The dread. The... soul of it, maybe?Maybe it'll make more sense. Maybe it won’t. Maybe you'll watch it and still go: “What the hell did I just watch?” But that’s fine too. That’s kind of what this game is.Here's the video: Full Prologue comes out on August 8. Free to play. Only one episode, but it’s an important one.See you soon in Hell.
