The watch goes on. The demo is now on version 0.1.4: the Commander starts giving orders, your score counts how you played and not just how far you got, and the online ranking starts from zero with the DEMO SEASON.

• The old side missions are gone. Before waves 7 and 14, the Commander sends you a report with three orders, and you pick one or none.
• Each order asks for something specific and costs you something: let no one through the gate for three waves, place no defenses for two, cast no powers, kill the champion before it lands its strike. Fulfill it and it pays out during the watch: epic cards, max health, gold, Torchbearer uses or mana.
• Orders depend on what your map put in front of you: the camp, Stillwater, the refugees or the Thurifers.
• If you lost your last watch, the first report may carry an order written by the previous captain, which is you: what killed you will be back.
• A failed order is crossed out with the reason and the next report brings one fewer. No other punishment.
• The report doesn't pause the game: you can shrink it to look at the map, and if you start the wave without choosing, it burns.

• The end screen has a new SCORE OF THE WATCH block: a sheet that shows where every point came from. The wave, the boss and gold (now worth half), plus bonuses for playing well: base health, perfect waves, no one through the gate, the camp and Josh, Stillwater standing, the refugees, orders fulfilled, champions, burned bodies, special plays, interrupted charges, the boss without its third phase, torches kept lit and more.
• Whatever you let slip stays in sepia with the reason: it's your list for the next watch. No line depends on how long you took.
• Keeping the torches lit is worth up to 800 points and drops with each torch that gets snuffed. Each fulfilled order is worth 300.
• Your world rank appears next to your score. The online ranking starts from zero with the DEMO SEASON: the formula changed, so old scores don't mix in.
• Beating your score record grants +30 BLOOD, now listed separately in the breakdown.

• From THE RELIEF HAS ARRIVED all the way to the secret ones. Many scale in three tiers: defeat 10 champions, then 50, then 100. Tiered achievements count all your watches.
• ACHIEVEMENTS button in the main menu: a sheet with all of them, filterable by type (progress, mastery, stories, style, arsenal and secrets), each with its emblem on the wax seal and a bar showing how far along you are. Secret ones are revealed when you earn them.
• Earning one shows a notice without pausing, and the end screen lists them under ACHIEVEMENTS UNLOCKED.

• If you won, the WHAT YOU TAKE WITH YOU block shows the Blood for the Workshop, the Dawn Flame, the first-watch title and your record.
• The local ranking shows the podium of the profiles on your PC, with yours in red.
• SHARE ON DISCORD button: copies your watch summary and opens the community server. Just paste it.

• Losing is no longer "they get through and it's over". When the last life falls, time freezes and a red mist rolls down the path snuffing out the torches, until only the Torchbearer is left at the door with the last flame there is. A voice you don't know yet laughs. Skip it with SPACE.
• If the boss beat you, you watch it cross the gate in slow motion to the well at the base, where the Torchbearer waits with his torch.

• The campaign map is now a 3D world, with the same terrain as the game, covered in mist: every place you discover appears as a silhouette and, once you clear it, lights up with torches.
• Every post has its own identity (Josh's camp, Stillwater, the graveyard, the trapper's cabin, the bosses in their lairs) and the world is alive: crows, fireflies, smoke from the chimneys, the remains of battle.
• The demo goes through the map too: everything beyond wave 20 can be seen but not opened. A taste of what's coming.
• Hover over a post and bosses and champions show their card.

• Its own screen (B key): filters by rank and a full card for every enemy with its animated 3D model, ability, health, armor and shield from the first to the last wave, speed, strike, gold and resistances.
• Every champion and boss has its HISTORY: who they were before the Mist and what broke them. Their dying words are only written once you defeat them.

• Spanish, English, German, French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Voices remain in English, with subtitles in your language.
• The first time, the game starts in your system language. Change it in SETTINGS → GAME → LANGUAGE.
• Japanese, Korean and Chinese have their own classic-style typeface.

Buy them in THE WORKSHOP, Commander post. Each one has its II upgrade.

• BLOODLETTING: a rain of blades leaves enemies in the area bleeding for 6 s, losing health and moving slower.
• CHAIN LIGHTNING: strikes the healthiest enemy and jumps up to 6 times, leaving the arcane mark.
• IRON SHACKLES: stuns for 1.5 s and slows for 4 s. Enemies that can't be stunned are only held back.

When a champion or a boss falls, its remains are left on the path with a BURN sign. Click it and the Torchbearer sets it alight: out comes an epic card bearing the fallen one's name (bosses give five to choose from). If you don't burn it, there's no loot.

• The fire field now ALWAYS lands on the path, never on the grass. With several stones, neighboring tiles merge into a single fire (up to 4 per area).
• Stepping on it leaves enemies with BURN: it eats their armor and keeps burning after they leave.
• New card, Wide embers (I and II): the field covers 2 and 3 path tiles.
• Double Load: the second stone lands on the path. METEOR adds a tile and the fire lasts 5 s.

Three new conditions: the Torchbearer gives one fewer free use per wave and charges more for bribes, rerolls cost more, and every boss wave brings an extra Thurifer.

• Click an enemy to open its card: 3D model, rank, health, armor and shield, what it does and what's happening to it (bleeding, burning, stunned…). Barricades have one too.
• STATS (G key): what every defense and power did, per wave and across the whole watch, including what its ammo and effects contributed.
• New priorities: CLUSTER and SUMMONERS. Plus TARGET SWITCHING: FREE or UNTIL DEAD.
• Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V on a tower copies and pastes its whole setup.

• TANKS resist stuns (30% shorter) and CHAMPIONS even more (40% shorter). A RESISTS sign appears, or IMMUNE when it does nothing to them.
• Stillwater now spawns 9 possessed instead of 12, but each one gets back up once after dying. Fire, ice or a hit that blows it apart keeps it down for good. They are immune to Bleed.
• Every new enemy debuts alone in its wave: the War Banner Bearer moves to wave 17.

• REPORT A PROBLEM, in the pause menu and the main menu: tell us about a bug, an opinion or an idea and it goes straight to the studio, with an optional screenshot. Never your name or email, and if you're offline it isn't lost.
• In the main menu, the Discord logo opens the invite to the community server.
• New studio logo when the game starts.

• Fixed a freeze in the first wave with a new profile: if two notices appeared at once, closing them left the game paused forever.
• A boss stunned while roaring or winding up its charge kept walking with its arms spread. It now stands still.
• The MISSION COMPLETE card no longer hides the last reward behind the CLAIM button.
• No more Spanish text left in the other languages.
