Thank you for the release! First patches and gameplay improvements

The release of Umbranomicon has finally happened! We’d like to thank everyone for your feedback and support during these exciting days. We know there are still a few rough edges, and we are fully committed to polishing everything that remains. New patches addressing the most critical issues are being released daily, and we’re not slowing down.

Below are some key changes aimed at making the gameplay more accessible and enjoyable:

You can now skip battles
We’ve added an option to skip combat encounters. We understand that not everyone wants to fight monsters over and over when the fate of the world is at stake, so now the choice is yours: engage in combat or skip it.
And if you do decide to challenge the gnomes, victories should now come easier: we’ve increased the protagonist’s health. A hero is called a hero for a reason, after all!

Interface improvements

The shop now shows hints indicating which heroine will like a particular gift. No more keeping notes on the side!
We’ve also improved several other UI elements. Quest tracking, which is a common request fr om players, is already planned, so you won’t lose track of wh ere to go next or what your current objectives are.

A new scene added

A small bonus for the most attentive players - a brand-new scene! Where to find it is something you’ll have to discover on your own.

Below is the full list of fixes and improvements released over the past few days:

Fixed long pauses and black loading screens between 18+ scenes and combat encounters
Removed unnecessary character sound effects fr om story scenes
Improved the pacing of the mini-game and made progression clearer and more achievable
