Hey there! For anyone that sees this, I just want to let you know I've updated the game a tiny bit!

Some changes include:

• Lowered Encounter Rate: The encounter rate was everyones biggest gripe, so I've cut it in half! Hopefully it's enough to get people through the game without being under-leveled, but still leaves the door open for anyone who wants to grind!
• Corrected Audio: A lot of the audio was hit or miss as far as volume goes, so I've adjusted a lot of the levels. There's a few places that might need manual volume changes on specific maps, but hopefully there will be less jump scares from sudden volume shifts, haha.
• Area Access: A few people mentioned they were able to make it to some bosses out of order. I considered altering the dialogue to make up for that, but I'm not up to it at the moment, haha. So instead I've just put some casual arbitrary roadblocks to prevent it for the time being.
• Direction Ghosts: I've also added a ghost on the left of the map who gives some vague hints as to which areas are accessible at the time. Hopefully it will lead to less random searching! 
• General Dialogue Changes: This one wasn't as important but I changed some wording and dialogue in various places. Not super noticble though.

Anyways, I also just want to thank everyone who's played the game and left nice comments! Making art in general and sharing it for the world can be stressful sometimes, especially if you put a little bit of your own passion into it. So being able to look at this page every once in awhile and see that people enjoyed the experience and are still downloading it, has been very uplifting! 

I have dozens of other projects that I'd love to finish and share in the future, but until then,  thank you all!
