Hello Adventurers!

Were proud to announce that Halls of Torment is now available on Steam Early Access! Choose one of (currently!) seven unlockable characters and descend into the dark depths where demonic horrors lurk. Slay hordes of monsters, unlock new abilities, and find new equipment that will help you overcome the challenges further down below.

Important Information for PRELUDE Players

If youve played the PRELUDE version of Halls of Torment and want your progress to carry over to the full version of the game there are a few prerequisites:

• On the machine you want to continue with your PRELUDE progress, the PRELUDE save file must be locally available. Normally this should be the case, if you havent switched to another device or cleared your system for some reason.
• If you are on a new machine since playing the PRELUDE, you can ensure that your progress is copied by installing the PRELUDE version and starting it once.

In case you dont see your progress reflected in the Early Access version, try following these simple steps: Start the game (Early Access version)

• Open the settings menu
• Click on the button Import PRELUDE Savegame in the lower left corner
• Confirm the dialog with Yes
• The game should restart automatically with your prelude progress restored in the full game.

Whats Next?

While monitoring the game and being on the lookout for any reported issues, well be preparing new content for future updates. We still have plenty of interesting things we want to put into the Halls, and we cant wait to share them with you. But more details on that will follow soon. Until then, enjoy!

Hello Adventurers, Over the weekend there were two issues found with the game that we want to address. 1.) The third map was available, but without any content, so we locked it. 2.) The ability if projectiles can be blocked was reversed for the player and enemies. Stay Fresh - Chasing Carrots

[ 2023-05-02 07:28:59 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello Adventurers!

Today we are releasing just a small patch for the PRELUDE. We are still in the middle of getting ready for Early Access. But we have some additional information for you regarding Early Access today. Weve already mentioned a couple of things about this during our DevStream on Tuesday. If youve missed it you can watch it here on YouTube [previewyoutube=uUSDX0cnhPw;full][/previewyoutube] The Early Access will start with 7 characters, 11 abilities and 3 stages. We will expand upon abilities giving you the possibility to upgrade or evolve them, depending on how you want to call it. Each ability upgrade should be roughly as powerful as the initial ability itself. Ability upgrades can be chosen instead of a new ability when for example picking up the Scroll of Mastery.
But our main focus has been on playable characters. The 4 additional characters for the Early Access will be:

• Cleric (Debuffs & Regeneration)
• Warlock (Summonings)
• Shield Maiden (Blocking & Crowd Control)
• Sorceress (Lightning Damage & Electrify Effect)

For more information, we recommend looking into the DevStream. Weve played all characters during the stream and gave a first glance at additional abilities. Please be aware that we played a development build, so many things are not finalized, yet But now for todays changes on the PRELUDE

Change Log 2023-04-27

POLISH & QOL

• Updated effect markers (Slow & Fragile).
• Burn effect damage numbers are now displayed differently than normal damage.
• Rats from the rat ring have now proper sprites

BUG FIXES

• Stun is now also setting the attack speed of enemies to 0.
• Fixing the Bogged Boots, they actually slow down now.
• Rat ring cant be used to spawn endless rats anymore.
• Arrows and Swordsman hits with fire damage are not unblockable anymore.
• Fixed an issue that allowed item duping.
• Settings wouldnt save on the first start of the game.
• Adding backup save games in case of corrupted save games, so not the whole progress is wiped.

What's Next?

We are currently working on a lot of new content and finishing features for the EA. This includes ability upgrades, changes on ability traits, the third Level Forgotten Viaduct, and much more. In mid May well have a bigger update on the EA and what will be included in the release. Well probably share a date and update plans afterwards. When releasing the EA we also intend to update the PRELUDE to match the changes of the early game in the EA version.

Stay Fresh! - Chasing Carrots

Hello Adventurers!

We are doing good progress on the Early Access version. We are still aiming for a release in Q2 this year. However, we very much prefer to make a solid game instead of pushing a hasty release. Wed also like to thank everyone for joining our latest dev stream and hanging out with us while talking about Halls of Torment. The next stream will be announced a bit earlier than the last one, promised! If you missed it, you can watch it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLqME7PbSGc In this update, were focusing mainly on bug fixes, polish, and QoL features. There are still a couple of known issues on our list which we will tackle in future updates. Your feedback helps us to determine the highest priorities when it comes to improving the game experience. We will keep on reading through forums and our discord channel and keep in touch with you.

Holidays! But joking aside: We are currently working on the third stage and we might show a few glimpses of it on social media or the next stream. We are also working on further abilities and characters. Simultaneously we are working on fixes for outstanding issues and any bugs you report to us. Unfortunately, some bug fixes we originally wanted to add didnt make it into this update. This also includes the slow effect that is speeding up the enemies. We hope we can get those in on the next update. Stay Fresh! Chasing Carrots

The PRELUDE savegame will be fully compatible with the main version of the game and can be played on Windows and any Linux device, including the Steam Deck.

What can you play in the Demo?

This week we have some more exciting changes that play big parts in the preparation for the PRELUDE version. An important note: Todays update will reset your progress and remove the Shield Maiden character for now. Hopefully, we wont need another save game reset, since weve sorted out the meta progression for the PRELUDE and dont want to entirely redo it again.

Finalization of the PRELUDE! This means getting a proper Ember Grounds progression and some polish and finishing on different things. We will very likely keep the demo and playtest version updated once the PRELUDE is released until the Early Access launch. The PRELUDE will have limited content, but the playtest will not. But improvements, balancing, and finishing some content and changes based on feedback will go into the PRELUDE as well. Were looking forward to your feedback! - Chasing Carrots
