This is a pre-release internal note from the closed playtest, quoted as it was written for testers. It describes a build that no longer exists; treat it as history, not as a description of the current game.
Good Friday! We have a build for you 🎉
For this build we have... the DEFECT! _applause_
Our new boi is not quite complete yet. There are currently ~63 cards and a lot of UI/art missing. If anything feels _broken_ though, please do file a bug!
The Necrobinder is taking a break this build as we work on restructing some core mechanics for her.
There was also a massive architectural overhaul for how we handle localization, so please be on the lookout for any unusual or improperly formatted strings :).
