Todays update reworks the Hope and Despair system again. As many people rightly pointed out, it wasnt working very well. Despair was trivial to get rid of, and maxing out Hope was trivial to accomplish. With this rework, I hope its a little more interesting, and easier to understand.
First off, there is no longer Hope and also Hope Crystals. Now, its just Hope. The blue nuggets you get at the end of a run are just Hope. Also, instead of cashing your Hope into Hope Crystals, you now just get an amount of Hope equal to the difficulty. Easy peasy. Second, the meter is just Despair. It starts at 0 and goes up to 100. When you die, you gain 30 Despair, but you can also gain and lose it through many different items and levels. If you die, and you have 100 Despair already, you will succumb to the Despair, and the Witch will have her way with you.
Thanks for playing my game, people

The Necrovale has been accumulating miscreants, monsters, and outcasts for a thousand generations. The deeper you go, the thicker and more relentless the swarms will be. You must use every tool you can find, every dirty trick, and every means of destruction if you are to survive.
The Necrovale is filled with rare and powerful items, relics left behind by those lost souls whose story ended in the depths. Collect increasingly powerful weapons, armor, shields, staffs, jewelry, totems, hats, books, jellyfish, scarfs, and other tchotchkes as you follow in their footsteps. To survive the depressing ravages of the Necrovale, you'll need to find ways to use the items together, creating many unique and powerful builds as you progress.
Along your journey, you will meet other prisoners. The crimes and failures that brought them to the Necrovale are their own business. Reserve your judgement, however, as you might find yourself depending on these strange and broken creatures to survive.
The world has grown old and tired. The fires that once burned brightly in the souls of men have dimmed. You, The Stranger, a worthless degenerate and criminal, have been chosen by the All-Father to renew the world by first destroying it. A thousand generations of men and women banished Into the Necrovale will have their say, if you let them.
Hi, I'm Casey. Thanks for deciding to check out my game, Into the Necrovale. I made this out of my love for games like Diablo, Magic the Gathering, Guild Wars, and Path of Exile. Anything where you can experiment with different skills or items, and put together your own build. In this game, I've created hundreds of strange and powerful items that can interact in unexpected ways. To get through the Necrovale, you will have to collect these items and design many powerful builds. I hope you enjoy the process, and feel free to share any interesting builds you come up with!
