We’ve got great news to share with you!

We've tracked down and fixed some major issues, as well as balanced a bit better the economy and enemy spawn rate. We've also heard your concerns about the demo having less content than the previous one, so the Caves are back in the demo!

Here's a small summary of changes that we've made to the current demo:

- The Caves are now accessible.

- Reduced enemy spawn rate.
- Reduced enemy aggro range.
- Talisman (accessory to reduce enemy spawn rate) is now sold by the Merchant.
- Added <Easy Mode> difficulty. This reduces enemy spawn rate, aggro, HP and damage.

- Reduced the price of most early items in shops.
- Guide quests now reward some money.

- Early fishing accessories can now be bought in the Fisherman's shop.
- Early cooking spices can now be bought in the Chef's shop.
- Slightly reduced the difficulty of common fishes.
