Greetings, intrepid adventurers and seekers of the arcane,

Your humble developers at The Fine Arc are both thrilled and unnerved to unveil the latest update to Cthulhu's Reach: Devil Reef.

Gameplay

Act 1: Refinements of Old

• Arena of Despair:  The boss battle arena has been reimagined, designed to amplify both terror and tactical acumen.
  
• Melodies of Dread:  As you face the monstrous guardian of the eldritch depth, let the haunting strains of new boss battle music envelop you.

  
  

  
  

• Visual Clarity Amidst Chaos:  The very fabric of the Act 1 environment has been refined. Floors and walls now stand distinct, guiding your path through the labyrinthine madness with greater clarity, reminiscent of the dreaded streets and cellars of Innsmouth.
  

Act 2: A Descent into New Abysses

• Lava-Flows and Treacherous Bridges:  Traverse landscapes adorned with flowing lava, coral, and fungi. Tread upon precarious bridges where each step could spell doom!
  

Encounters Redefined

• Unpredictable Malevolence:  Enemy spawning mechanics have been overhauled for a more balanced experience.
  
• Combat Fluidity:  Your movement speed now diminishes whilst attacking, demanding a more strategic approach to battle.
  
• Boomstick Enhancement:  The Boomstick now cleaves through multiple foes in sweeping arcs, as intended from the factory — a formidable weapon against the relentless assaults of the deep ones.
  
• Boss Fortitude:  The boss has been imbued with greater health, ensuring it presents a challenge worthy of your skills.
  
• The Veil is Lifted:  The health of your latest target now manifests atop your screen, a fleeting yet crucial revelation. Know your enemy's vitality and strike with calculated precision!
  

Bugfixes

• Audio Resolutions:  Audio volume settings now persist as intended, ensuring an uninterrupted auditory experience.
  
• Health Synchronization:  The health of remote players updates correctly, maintaining the integrity of multiplayer engagements.
  
• Adjusted barrel knockback to be less overpowering.
  
• and more...
  

We thank you, brave souls, for your unwavering support and continued journey into the unknown. As you venture forth, remember to stay vigilant and tread carefully, for the shadows are long, and the depths are full of terrors.

Yours in perpetual dread,
Per & Daniel at The Fine Arc
