How to join the beta: Right-click Halls of Torment -> Properties -> Betas Here set the beta branch to "beta" _____________________________

Hello brave heroes!

We have a new beta build for you. This patch will test some new QoL features, balancing, and the Mouse Only mode. The Patch notes can be found further below. You can opt-in into the beta but there might be some data loss when changing back to the previous version. Please consider joining the Discord for proper feedback exchange. https://discord.gg/chasingcarrots _____________________________

Mouse Only Mode

We added an experimental movement mode that uses only the mouse. This mode is not meant to be used with the keyboard and there are currently no further explanations in the game. This is a pure accessibility feature for people that can't use controller or keyboards properly and changes for this mode will focus on this group of people. Mouse-Only can be activated from the main menu. There is an extra option to make that movement only works while holding left-click, per default clicking will be accepted as well.

• You move my clicking (or holding) the left mouse button at the target position.
• When in this mode you will always have auto-aim on, it can't be disabled.
• Fire or aim overwrite is with right-click instead left-click.
• Middle mouse button or thumb mouse buttons toggle auto-attack.

With this change we also added that auto-attack is not required for auto-aim. _____________________________
