You can purchase the new map in the shop for a whopping 100 gold.
NEW ENEMIES
NANCY
Nancy is not really feeling it, will you be the one to change her mind?
DESIREE
On the other hand, Desiree is excited to help you, not everyone can reach the mountains.
NEW MINIGAME/DEBUFF
Grabbed is a variation of the Overwhelmed debuff/qte
Just like Overwhelmed, the player must mash a key to escape, a progress bar will slowly fill up and when it is full, the player is released from the grab
However, unlike Overwhelmed, pressing the key to escape uses a fixed amount of Stamina.
Grab difficulty varies from enemy to enemy.
While in the Grabbed state, the hero's stamina regenerate in real-time, influenced by the stamina regeneration sub-attribute.
A new UI element has been added during the debuff so you can keep track of the escape progress and stamina easily
Being grabbed does not cause time to stop, the enemy will continue to take turns until the player breaks free.
