Major update and expansion!

Massive update released!

Hello everyone and thank you for all of the recent support for this game! In light (pun intended) of the recent attention I have pushed the biggest update this game has seen since it's initial release!

What's included:

 Brand new lighting systems to massively improve the visuals

Huge UI improvements to make the scaling and placement much more polished

Alternate ending

Improved particle and postediting effects

A secret counter so you know how close you got to discovering everything

Too many bug fixes to list, but most notably; fixed bug where inventory wouldn't reset on new game, fixed bug where in the battle your item menu would autoselect instead of fight menu on certain levels, fixed bug where pause would sometimes softlock the game, fixed bug where loading game immediately after returning to title would the screen not to fade in

This was the first game I ever created from scratch and as such has the feel of a first game, but I have learned a lot in the time since I first started on Beasts of Burden and I'm really happy to be able to share this update with you all, it feels amazing to see it getting attention and I hope the new coat of polish will bring in even more people and give this amazing community the content that they deserve.

For those who don't know this was originally created to fill the void of a false advertising campaign created by the developers of mobile Gacha game Evertale and I sincerely hope it lives up to that for anyone who got here by searching for that non-existent game.

I've mentioned it before but I will say one more time that I will 100% create a sequel to this game with all of the production value of a fully funded project if this ever blows up enough for me to dedicate myself to it. I currently have a fulltime job in addition to a lot of contract work in game design and sound design, but my biggest goal in life is to make games like this for everyone to enjoy as my fulltime job. I love making horror games and I love being able to provide them for free so if you want to see a sequel for this game the best way you can help make that happen is to share and talk about the content you enjoy. That goes for any indie game you love, so if you have the time and you enjoyed the experience please consider starting a discussion about it as there are tons of amazing communities for exactly that.

One last time thank you all for making this passion project possible and I really hope you enjoy it! If you have any questions, comments, or complaints, please feel free to comment or reach out to me on any of my social media.
