We recently shared Difficulty Quest on Reddit.
It sparked some great discussions about what really makes a game difficult it’s exciting to see the project resonate with players already.
The thread is here if you’re curious: https://t.co/dGx2yYq2M6.

@SpawnYaardReply The first game was already a real challenge!
Curious to see if this one pushes the difficulty even higher!
From what we’ve seen so far the focus on fast-paced combat could make every mistake even more punishing!
