[Demo] Patch 0.1.1

[v.377678]
ːsteamthisː ⇒ Community-inspired change

Greetings, this is Kev again. I've got a QOL update for you that will make speedrunning just a tad easier, along with various streamlining improvements.

A quick reminder first: we'll be taking down the demo on November 11th with the intention to bring it back sometime in the future, so you've got just about a week to play on the new patch! If you want continued access to the game, you'll have to signup for closed beta at www.AsWeDescend.com. If you're in the mood for a challenge, we're holding a 100% speedrun challenge in the official As We Descend discord. Further instructions are available in the announcements channel.
