Act 2 is coming in the next update of Anamnesis. On top of that, there are dozens of quality of life improvements. The patch notes are currently 62 lines long!
There have also been a number of aesthetic improvements. For instance, enemies will now briefly show the name of the attack they are using right when they use it.
Also, if the enemy's attack has a weapon type or an element, an icon will now be displayed to signify this. You may have noticed that some enemies do more damage than others, and it might have been due to a weakness. After we release Act 2 we'll be working on a Codex system to better convey enemy (and player) weaknesses. For now, this is a first step in that direction.
Be ready to face some strong enemies with brand new status effects! There are six new enemy buffs that you'll have to counter with the right choices at the right moments.
The enemies in Act 2 heavily revolve around debuffs and status effects. To balance, we've modified the 'Flaming Aura' status effect to clear all debuffs when it is applied, giving the Fire element a surefire way to counter many of the new enemies. There's also a new perk that is particularly helpful against damage over time debuffs...
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that we'll notify of a release date this week. Well, it looks like the development of the update will be done on Monday! Most of the new content has already been tested, so we're just going over the last kinks in Act 2 before the final round of testing. If the tests go well, we'll have the update out next week! If we run into any issues, it might be another week after that. So, tentatively we're looking at the next release between Jan. 27th and Feb. 5th.
We're almost there!
Stay tuned!

Synopsis
You materialize in a mysterious realm where a titan who goes simply by the name 'Mr. T' welcomes you. "You have returned to the afterlife, I see." Without much explanation, your adventure in this dark and gritty dungeon begins. Face off against bats, snakes, and even the shadows as you work your way to the end of this forsaken world, and earn your right to reincarnate once again!The word 'Anamnesis'
It refers to memories from past lives. In Anamnesis, the cards are your 'memories'. Each run, you can choose your starter deck of 10 memories. Every time you finish a run, whether you win or lose, you can keep one. Will you remember what it takes to beat the game?Learn From Your Mistakes
In Anamnesis, each boss has a unique approach to defeating it. A boss may have a shield that only goes away with fire, by dispelling it, or just waiting it out a set amount of turns. The unique combo system also provides special boosts that are character-specific and helps to balance those runs where you didn't get the ideal setup that you wanted. This makes each successful playthrough a fulfilling experience, and on runs where you lose, you'll eventually learn why and come back even wiser!Less RNG, More Strategy
Unlike other games, Anamnesis focuses more on strategy than RNG. Even if you didn't get the cards you needed to dispel that boss's shield, your combo system has you covered! Each character will have unique memories and boosts that are suited for them to approach every obstacle in the game. This means that defense as well as offense are both important tactical decisions. It's not all about RNG!Current Features (Act 1)

- 13 fully voiced events to experience
