Greetings, gods! Behold the biggest update since the full launch! This one brings a brand-new shrine type, auxiliary skills, the challenges, the long-awaited Compendium, and more. I’d love to hear your thoughts, so don’t forget, you can always share feedback and discuss Godless in the Discord!

Minor Patch

A couple of Compendium sections have been disabled for closer testing and will be re-enabled in next week's minor patch. If you'd like to see something added or changed in the Compndium, or if you come across any bugs, let me know!

Roadmap and a New Game

The October update has been postponed to December. You can check out the updated roadmap below. I had to allocate some extra time over the coming months to work on my new game. It’s called Evil Advisor Verdict — feel free to check it out and add to your wishlist!
