v0.65

• The main quest has received its next installment. It’s worth noting that for this update, rather than creating new side quests, we focused all our efforts on the continuation of the main quest. In order to get straight to the new content, use “New Game+” mode and skip all of the quests. Once you load into the town, open your quest log. You should be able to figure out the rest from there.
• Added 2 new 18+ scenes with Arachne.
• Keep treasure hunting! Get yourself a shovel and go digging for genuine buried treasures! We’ve added 5 new chests containing valuable rewards (making 8 chests in all). The chests aren’t highlighted or anything; you must simply click on them. We’ll give you some tips for those of you who want to find the chests quickly. The first chest is located at the pier by the fisherman’s house. The second chest is located in the grass by the entrance to the cave. The third chest is at the lake, under the sand. Finding a chest is only half the battle — you also need to unlock it. Consequently, we’ve devised puzzles for almost every one of them. It’s worth mentioning that there can only be one hidden chest in any particular location.
• Added 2 new minigames (for the chests).
• Added a notification system (Beta). Now, when your journal is updated or you give/receive an item or gold, a corresponding notification will pop up.

• New quest: Quest 35, “Serenity.” Mirina is distraught that she incinerated an entire grove of the forest. You need to help her figure out how to set things right.
• New quest: Quest 36, “Rebirth.” When you stop by the monastery in the afternoon, you notice that Mirina is missing. You should try looking for her in the nuns’ quarters, but you suspect that something is amiss. This quest is a follow-up to Quest 35.
• Added a new 18+ scene with the arms trader after you give her the hydra head.

• Now you’re not just a hunter, but a treasure hunter! Get yourself a shovel and start digging for some real buried treasure. We’ve added 3 chests that contain valuable rewards. The chests aren’t highlighted or anything; you must simply click on them. We’ll give you some tips for those of you who want to find the chests quickly (spoiler alert): The first chest is located at the pier by the fisherman’s house. The second chest is located in the grass by the entrance to the cave. The third chest is at the lake, under the sand. Finding a chest is only half the battle — you also need to unlock it. Consequently, we’ve devised puzzles for each of them.
• Added 2 new minigames (for the chests).
