Major Changes

New Opening & More Secrets

Returning demo players will not recognize the opening scene for the demo, as we have inserted an entirely new section to better orient players and introduce Iris to the island! Not only that, there are new treasures and new rooms to discover in the rest of the demo.

Save Slot & Checkpoints

Players can now choose to respawn upon death (for a limited number of lives). If they run out, they return to their last checkpoint. Lives are restored when using checkpoints.

Clockwork Ambrosia also makes use of a new save slot system.

New Weapons Interface & Weapon Loadouts!

The equipment and weapon screens have received an overhaul to make them more intuitive and quicker to use. Let us know what you think!

Also, players can now save weapon loadouts for easy swapping between their favorite builds.
