Feature Deep-Dive: The Pilgrimage -v2.10-

Are there specific gameplay mechanics or story elements from the v2.10 update that you would like to know more about?

• Typos & Inconsistent Tense: “You kneel on the stone, cold seeping through. Then you stood up.” Shifts like this appear often. For a game this reliant on immersion, it’s jarring.
