Today I will be releasing online multiplayer!

I'm excited to finally get this out for you all to play with friends and I hope to see you in some lobbies. Multiplayer access will be cross compatible with full game players but is restricted to the first 3 floors of a game. 

With this major update comes new cards, tons of bug fixes, and performance and graphics improvements. Please keep the feedback coming and if you find a way to break the game come let us know in the discord, a post here on steam, or even a review.

I hope with this addition, the game is more accessible and provides more opportunity for those to experience it. 

If you’re interested go check it out and make sure to wishlist the full game!
