Knock-knock, Itch! We are back with a new update on what we are doing now with Knock on the Coffin Lid.

Early in June, we opened access to our third hero, Vanadis. She even moved to the main version of the game, so now anyone can play her. Right now we are working on cut-scenes that will both open and close her storyline. It has turned out pretty well so far. We can’t wait for you to see the results from the work of our screenwriters, artists and animators!



In addition, besides Vanadis, Tarot cards for all three heroes are now available to players: 21 Tarot cards, 7 cards for each hero. What are “Tarot cards”? Each card is a unique challenge, pre-configured for a specific character. They are available in “Free Game” in the “Millenis’ Nightmares” mode.

Will you be able to complete the game if different elements strike the battlefield?

What if you have to travel blindly, not knowing where the road is leading you?

Right now we are collecting a lot of feedback on Tarot cards, fixing bugs, and studying the reaction of the players.

Also, our cool artists are adding new cards for the cards!



If you follow our developer video diaries, then you already know that we’re also working on a global redesign of the quests and events. This is the biggest and the most important task for us right now. The idea is the following: if the main story of KOTCL reacts to the hero’s rebirth and changes when you replay the main events over and over again, then why can’t the events do the same?

We want them to change with each new game and surprise you with their turns. Thus, it will be even more interesting for you to return to Midian where the events take place.


By the way, about the events: we’re also working on several new events simultaneously. For obvious reasons, we won’t reveal their plots, but we can show you a few sketches.




We’re also working on updating the effect icons that are displayed under your hero. We want you to be able to easily distinguish positive and negative effects by color alone, and to understand more easily what is currently affecting you and your enemies.

If you’ve read up to this point, then you will clearly be interested in yet another image that we haven’t shown to anyone before. Check it out!

Thank you for reading. We hope it was interesting! See you in the next diaries and in the world of Knock on the Coffin Lid! Safe journeys to you!
