Patch 0.9.4 comes with Shadowed's brand new Ascension system! Not only will you be able to ramp up the difficulty on repeat playthroughs, but "cheat" easymode options have been added as well, many of which can help new players learn the ropes. Of course, you're not eligible for any unlocks while using the easy options, but you can't have everything. Easy mode options include things like being able to retry from your last save, seeing enemy vision cones, doubled inventory space and less weight, learning all techniques and spells, ignoring perk requirements, and more, so there's plenty to play around with! A few more miscellaneous improvements have been made as well.

Gameplay:
-Added the Ascension system!
-Prettied up the title menus a bit. More improvements to come!
-Shuten-douji has been nerfed somewhat, but these nerfs are undone in one of the new ascension modes.

QOL:
-Build picker in character gen has now had its readability improved drastically.
-Fixed some more typos.

Bugfixes:
-Fixed a bug where when eating meat, 2 would be eaten at once.
-Fixed an issue where taking the Herbalist perk would not identify pills that were already in your inventory.
-Fixed a bug where messages for exploding monsters were incorrect.
