The recipe book, skill tree, dungeon guide and daily tasks are now fully playable with a gamepad, no cursor needed.

In the skill tree the D-pad jumps between skills, A buys, the right stick moves the tree and the triggers zoom.

Jumping in the Shelter no longer skips presses.

The selected skill now stands out with a glow and a pulsing ring.

The skill tree sits on light, sharper parchment so skills and links read clearly even zoomed out.

Hovering a skill shows in the stats panel what it will change, with the new value in green.

Once your party has reached a dungeon's boss, the guide offers to go straight to the boss fight and skip the rooms.

Boss health is now a wide bar with the boss name at the bottom of the screen.

Gnilotsvet's egg health bars are drawn on top of its body, so they are always visible.

Gnilotsvet fights in rounds now: after an attack series its eggs open for 12-15 seconds and it does not attack at all; break one egg the first time and two after that to make it close and attack again.

Gnilotsvet also hits softer, winds up longer, its eggs break faster and it summons fewer caterpillars.

Breaking out of a spider cocoon or stone takes half as many presses, and progress fades much slower.

Bosses now appear in the open middle of their room instead of sometimes inside a wall.

The beetle now spreads its shell and buzzing wings, paws the ground before the charge and flaps hard while ramming.

Root Shieldbearer: after slamming its shield it stays in place facing the fissure until it closes, leaving its back and sides open.

Root Shieldbearer: turns much slower, and its shield covers a narrower arc, so attacks from behind and from the sides deal full damage.

Melee enemies now wind up before biting: damage lands mid-animation, and stepping away in time dodges the hit.

The root shieldbearer's shield blocks almost all damage while it is raised.

Third dungeon attack warnings on the floor are now a single faint band or a thin outline instead of many red lines.

The skill tree is now drawn on old parchment with runes instead of a plain brown background.

Upgrades that only open in later dungeons now cost a price that fits that dungeon: third dungeon upgrades start at 25 billion coins and double with every level, fourth dungeon upgrades start at 25 trillion.

Hammer and saw cooldown upgrades now show the real cooldown in seconds.

The hammer branch is now called Plague Hammer, and the hammer, saw, pulse and blades unlocks describe how they actually work.

You can no longer run ahead past the next uncleared room: doors beyond it stay shut until it is cleared, so the party stays together.

Doors back into rooms you have already left stay shut: the way only leads forward, with side rooms along it still open.

Healing hearts no longer vanish right after a room is cleared: they stay until the fight in the next room starts.

Dungeon music is twice as loud.

Purple Lightning upgrades are now Golden Lightning: a lucky strike turns gold, thicker and brighter, and hits for at least triple damage.

Plague Pulse lightning is brighter and wider, with a bigger spark burst on impact.

Plague Hammer cooldown is now 6 seconds, and each fire rate upgrade cuts 1 second, down to 2.

Plague Saw cooldown is now 8 seconds, and each cooldown upgrade cuts 1 second, down to 4.

Abilities you have unlocked now work in every dungeon: the hammer bought in the third dungeon also works when you go back to the first.

The runner now carries ready servings to the seasoning station first when you have a rare reagent, and to the counter otherwise.

Royal Roast (the last recipe of the second dungeon) now uses the goblin healer's royal spices instead of spider glands.

The last recipe of the third dungeon now uses the root shieldbearer's root heart instead of larval fat.

On a gamepad only the right stick turns your character; the left stick just moves.

In the lobby the camera turns on its own, and the character faces where it walks.

Fever now lasts 10 seconds instead of 3, so it is still active when you reach the next enemies.

Better frame rate in the third dungeon: ambient spores and dust only drift in rooms you can see.

Better frame rate in all dungeons: wall torches no longer cast shadows, and small floor clutter in the third dungeon no longer casts shadows.

While your party is fighting in one room, doors to other uncleared rooms stay shut, so nobody can run ahead of the fight.

Blood, bones and egg sacs in the second dungeon are now scattered randomly instead of repeating tile by tile.

Corner cobwebs in the second dungeon now hang in the actual corners of the rooms.

Poison toads now hop around the room and keep spitting poison between jumps.

Poison toads hop sideways to keep their distance and leap after you when you hide behind a wall.

Spiders no longer show up in the deeper rooms of the second dungeon, just like rats in the first one.

The dungeon map is now turned the same way as your screen: up on the map is up on the screen.

The dungeon timer now counts down in real seconds in every dungeon; deeper dungeons simply start with fewer of them.

While the Plague Rat calls down falling rocks it stomps in place: it cannot be hurt and every stomp knocks back anyone who gets close.

Rocks dropped by the Plague Rat now stay on the floor for 10 to 15 seconds and block your way.

The Plague Rat roars when the fight starts, at each new phase and before its attacks, and its stomps shake the ground with a heavy thud.

The plague hammer is now thrown on demand with the right mouse button (LT) instead of on its own timer, aimed at the enemy closest to where you look.

The plague hammer now swings down onto its target instead of spinning, hits a wider area and slows enemies where it lands instead of knocking them toward you.

The plague hammer slam now cracks the floor with glowing fissures, sends out a shockwave and throws stone debris.

Plague Blades moved to the F key (D-pad up).

The recipe book is redrawn as an old leather tome with aged pages, gold corners and ribbon bookmarks.

Every dish now has a short description, and the recipe shows how many of each ingredient you have against how many it needs.

The guide's dungeon picker is now a leather book too: dungeons with pictures on the left, the chosen one's ingredients and a Set out button on the right.

Gathering the party for a dungeon is simpler: you just wait for the others, and press E to cancel with a confirmation.

Fewer stutters when many enemies die at once and smoother crowded fights.

Reworked the Plague Slug's look — it is now a glowing, translucent blob that squashes and splats when it hops.

Redrew poison puddles as living, glowing slime with ripples, popping bubbles and droplets.

Poison puddles now come in several shapes, so neighbouring puddles no longer look the same.

Fungal Depths cures got their own models: herbal broth, mushroom soup, an iron stew pot and a royal chicken pot.

The Fungal Depths got their own look with cobwebs, blood, bones and egg sacs.

The pits under the Shelter floor grates now hold glowing poison puddles.

Less dust floats in the Shelter air.

Patients in the queue no longer strike odd poses while waiting.

The ability bar now shows only the abilities you have unlocked.

Plague Lightning got a proper lightning icon.

Main menu music is half as loud.

Spider webs now stack: every bite slows you a bit more, up to three layers, and the effect shows how many layers are on you.

Rare reagent and spice bags in the dungeon are now purple reagent crystals instead of jars.

Spider nests can no longer end up in a doorway or the middle of a room.

The Plague Saw now passes under plague bats: flying enemies are no longer hit or pushed by it.

Toxic puddles are now glowing pools of swamp acid with big bubbles swelling and popping all over them, casting a green glow on the floor and stopping at walls.

The seasoning station now takes a whole stack: hold E to load several cures, each one costs a rare reagent, and they are enhanced one at a time in the order you brought them.

Enhanced cures now go to the sell counter by themselves.

The seasoning station now visibly works: the crank turns, the press gently sways and purple crystals rain onto the cure.

Fine dust now drifts through the air of the shelter.

The acid under the shelter's floor grates now fills each hole on its own, slowly flows and bubbles.

The loot count on the results screen now always fills in under a second, whether you bring back two ingredients or two thousand crystals.

Spider nests now appear against walls, mostly in corners, instead of in the middle of the room.

Spider nests no longer count as enemies: they don't hold back the room clear, don't drop ingredients and stay until you break them.

Fungal Depths enemies now always drop their own ingredient: spiders spider glands, toads mushroom caps, bats bat wings, goblins royal spices.

Plague Lightning no longer chains to enemies outside the current room.

Serving and depositing speed skills now work: holding E at the serving table and the sell counter repeats faster with each level.

Enhancing a cure at the seasoning station now takes a moment, and seasoning speed skills make it faster.

Skill tree nodes that did nothing are now locked and can no longer be bought.

The cook now stands behind the cauldron, facing the kitchen, and you cook by using the cauldron itself.

The seller is gone: recipes are now chosen at a recipe book lying on the table.

The shelter floor is now a varied mix of stone slabs, each turned a random way, instead of one repeating pattern.

The shelter walls now mix four brick patterns piece by piece instead of one pattern per side.

Moved the run damage buff icons from next to the map to a column on the left of the HUD, right above your hearts.

The Plague Rat boss scales with your party up to three players: more health, more rats, more falling rocks and faster attacks.

The Plague Rat throws out more rats and hits harder with its charge, tail swipe and slime.

At low health the Plague Rat slams the ground three times around itself in a wide circle, and anyone caught in it is slowed.

The dungeon timer stops in the boss room: the boss fight lasts until one side is dead.

The boss room always has at least six crates and barrels that each drop a heart.

The boss charge warning now shows only arrows pointing where it will run, without the wide lane.

Rats now walk with coordinated steps and a moving tail, and lunge with a bite animation when they attack.

Rats now hit harder the deeper you go: a rat bite takes 40% of a heart in the first room and grows to a full heart by the sixth.

No regular enemy can take more than one heart with a single hit any more.

Enemies now arrive in small packs over time instead of pouring into the room all at once.

Each pack spawns in its own spot, away from players and other enemies, so fights no longer start as one big crowd.

Blood leeches no longer back out of the room through the door while keeping their distance.

Plague slugs now make an audible sound when they jump and land.

Crates and barrels drop hearts more often: 40% instead of 25%.

Rat tails on the floor are one and a third times bigger than before.

Dropped ingredients no longer glow with a light or a ring on the floor: soft sparkles in the ingredient's color now drift up around them instead, so they are easy to spot without lighting up the floor.

Dungeon floors across all four Plague Cellars are now a varied mix of stone tiles instead of one repeating pattern.

Dungeon walls now mix several styles per Cellar — brick, smooth stone, masonry and ruins — instead of one or two repeating types.

Every player now gets their own ingredient drop from each enemy killed — clear 11 rats as a pair and you both get 11 tails.

Ingredients dropped for a teammate stay on the floor until that teammate picks them up.

Reworked the Plague Slug — it now hops toward players instead of biting.

Plague Slug landings now leave poison puddles.

Plague Slugs now swell up and burst when killed, splitting into two smaller slugs.

Plague Slug death explosions now damage players standing too close.

Reworked the Plague Saw so it flies straight until hitting a wall.

The Plague Saw now cuts through enemies and only bounces from walls.

Rats stop appearing once Plague Slugs begin spawning.

Rats are now twice as big.

Bosses are now three times bigger, with their hitbox and attack range scaled to match.

Wall torches unified into one model with real fire, smoke and flickering light, replacing torches with no light; rolled out to the main menu and all first-dungeon rooms.

Selling no longer waits for a patient to be standing there, and the sell queue and its timer now keep running while the party is in the dungeon.

Redesigned health as bigger segmented hearts with precise partial fill.

The bag now shows every ingredient you're carrying instead of hiding some behind unlock progress.

Reworked auto-attack, the Plague Saw, Plague Blades, the lightning ability and the hammer ability, and rebalanced their damage together under one shared formula.

Plague Slug's contact damage raised to match other enemies.

Regular melee enemies now only hit within a tighter arc in front of them, but turn to face you faster; knockback now matches how hard you were hit.

Resource-bag knife barrage now hits a target as soon as it overlaps the blast, instead of needing an exact center hit.

Simplified movement speed to a flat base, scaled by the skill tree and adrenaline.

Each health upgrade now grants a full heart instead of a sliver, and the old health cap is gone.

The ingredient-yield skill now adds bonus ingredients directly on pickup instead of just raising drop odds.

Doubled the dungeon run timer, including every time bonus you earn during a run.

The boss room is now sized to fully contain the boss and its door, and the path there makes room for it.

Chests now sit rotated lid-down.

Barrels, crates, cages and chests are now placed around rooms without overlapping walls or doors.

Heart pickups now use a new, larger heart model.

Reworked the Plague Saw: it flies out, disappears on hitting a wall unless you have the bounce upgrade, can hit the same enemy more than once if it lingers, and spins flat like a blade as it flies.

Plague Pulse is now passive: it has a chance to trigger from a knife hit and chains to nearby enemies.

Players now start each run with three hearts instead of two.

Shelter windows now close with an X instead of a back arrow, and show a coin icon next to your balance.

The daily rewards calendar now hides future days until they arrive, and claims a reward with a single click.

New parchment-and-dried-blood color palette across menus, HUD, cooking panels and cards.

Enemies now turn to face whoever they're fighting.

Killing an enemy stops it instantly and grants its reward exactly once; the body stays for a few seconds afterward as a visual only.

Retuned blood leech spit: it fires less often, and is smaller and easier to read.

Rats are now visually bigger.

Skeletons now hit for a full heart.

Each of the first dungeon's four cures now shows its own distinct bottle, in flight and on the counter.

The results screen now shows loot as a single colored bar sized to what you actually collected.

The fourth cure now brews from a different ingredient.

Adrenaline is now a short speed boost triggered by picking up a bag, reaching a new floor, opening a door, breaking the treasure chest or using an ability, instead of stacking on every kill.

Patients reach the sell counter noticeably faster when the queue backs up.

Jenga: aim at a block with the cursor before pulling it, or grab and drag one by hand — a hard yank can topple the tower.

New and higher-resolution icons for several skill tree nodes.

Terry in the main menu now wears the full plague doctor outfit.

Redesigned the pause menu to match the main menu.

Large currency amounts are now shortened, since some task rewards run very high.
