Bugfix update, new wiki, and what's next

As I said in the last announcement, I'm winding down the major content updates to Golden Krone Hotel but bug fixes are still fair game. In this update, I've fixed a really weird bug with winning the game, added some cool effects to the Big status, and added one new disguise (I couldn't resist). The new disguise is the Apothecary. Easily the hardest start to the game, this disguise is also potentially the best in the late game. Full change log below.

Wiki

I've designed GKH as the anti-wiki roguelike, easy to pick up and totally winnable without spoilers of any kind. But still I've had a couple players ask "where is the wiki!?" Here is my answer. The wiki covers stat calculations, tips, and details on the 50+ monsters and 16 branches to be found in the game. Feel free to add your own strategies. https://www.goldenkronehotel.com/wiki

Your mission

You play as Sorina Arobase, a human general made famous for hunting vampires. You're on a mission of revenge to kill Fane, the exiled vampire prince. Armed with your sword, revolver, and spell book, you must battle hordes of blood sucking foes. But first you'll be picking one of 10 disguises that will help you on your journey.

Features

It's a roguelike, really! Turn-based combat, permadeath, and tough as nails gameplay
Fully dynamic lighting. Use sunlight as a weapon or snuff out torches to conceal yourself
A groundbreaking potion identification system that encourages risk taking
Each run requires you to play as both human and vampire, each with different strengths and weaknesses. Humans are frail spellcasters. Vampires are brawlers with super human speed and strength.

Content

10 floors, 9 branches, and 6 bosses
Dozens of unique monsters
40 potions
20 spells

Game length

Golden Krone Hotel is what's known as a coffee-break roguelike. A pickup and play style allows for short sessions and the save system lets you stop at any time. Winning runs take about 1-2 hours. Want a longer run? No problem! Just crank up the difficulty setting and attempt to clear all the optional branches.

Amenities

Traditional roguelikes are a ton of fun, but usually come with an alphabet-soup of commands that make them tedious and unintuitive. Golden Krone Hotel has a modern, streamlined interface:

A very small number of controls, all of which are rebindable
Completely playable with either mouse or keyboard
Keypress hints on all buttons to help you learn shortcuts
Tooltips on everything
No inventory management!
Items are picked up automatically and gear is auto-equipped

All of which results in less downtime and faster gameplay.

Before you buy....

Please be aware that, being an Early Access title, Golden Krone Hotel is not finished! It's lacking some of the the content, balance, and polish that will be in the full release. If, however, you're willing to play a game that's still in development and has the occasional bug, then buckle up. It'll be a fun ride.
