Our heroes returned to Turania, and saw how the landscape had changed since their last visit.

The main focus of this update is on:
#1- A major in-game improvement that shows the description of spells when you hover the mouse over them.
#2 - An improvement of the graphical appearance of many places in the game.

The next adventure is still developing at a good pace, and I've set myself the goal of having it completed and uploaded to Steam in a couple of weeks at the latest. Let's hope that the deadlines are met.

Here you have the changelog of the EA 0.5.3 verion and the many improvements and changes it adds:

- Fixed a bug in the rest area of the story 'Your first adventure' that could not return you to the right page when looking at the inventory in this location.
