Changelog 11/Nov/2024

Our latest update brings a massive overhaul with a fully Quest Engine! 🎉 Quests are dynamic, with new rewards, complex interactions, and better tracking to shape your journey across the lands.

To get the full experience, we recommend starting a new game so you can enjoy the updated quest system right from the beginning.
