Hello everyone,

sorry about the lateness of this post - managed to get the update pushed, but only just got home to handle the release post!

Thank you to everyone who played the 0.167 beta and reported on what bugs they found!

0.168 has now been released, and we hope those of you who haven\'t played it yet enjoy!

For those who did not see the last post, this is a smaller, intermittent update between our bigger content heavy updates, but we hope you enjoy it all the same! We have some really exciting things to come that we will talk more about very soon!

As always, thank you all so much for your continued support!

You guys are awesome and make all of this possible!

Love,

-The Parasite Black Team
