Hey! We have release the version demo-1.1.0 of Veil of Shadows. This version has a great addition on its mechanics. You will understand where the enemies are coming from! Watching all the gameplays we could during the first week of the DEMO's release, we noticed that people were having problems understand how the enemies events worked, so we decided to pull a feature taht would be implemented in the future to now and that is already live in this version. So, the black shadow that, when you get too close, it will come to Sirene and hit her. After that waves of enemies will start to spawn until the end of what we call Enemies Event. When it's finished a chest will be given to Sirene. This chest can drop multiple different items. If there is one tip we can give, to make the gameplay more chill is to try to stay around the area where the black shadow was, because if you find another one when you are running away from the monsters you can start another event. So, face your fears! All this mechanics plays a role on the character's story and the journey will explain it to you. Enough for this post! I hope you can play Veil of Shadows' demo and have fun! Don't miss out on the updates! Have a blast, stay tuned for more thrills, and, oh, don't forget:
