About the Game
The Lich has thrown the world into a timeless loop and plunged its inhabitants into never ending chaos. Wield an expanding deck of mystical cards to place enemies, buildings, and terrain along each unique expedition loop for the brave hero. Recover and equip powerful loot for each class of hero for their battles and expand the survivors' camp to reinforce each adventure through the loop. Unlock new classes, new cards, and devious guardians on your quest to shatter the endless cycle of despair.
Infinite Adventure: Select from unlockable character classes and deck cards before setting out on each expedition along a randomly generated loop path. No expedition is ever the same as the ones before it.
Plan Your Struggle: Strategically place building, terrain, and enemy cards along each loop to create your own dangerous path. Find balance between the cards to increase your chances of survival while recovering valuable loot and resources for your camp.
Loot and Upgrade: Strike down menacing creatures, recover stronger loot to equip on the fly and unlock new perks along the way.
Expand Your Camp: Turn hard-earned resources into campsite upgrades and gain valuable reinforcements with each completed loop along the expedition path.
Save the Lost World: Overcome a series of unholy guardian bosses over a grand saga to save the world and break the time loop of the Lich!

• added to Witch hut decription about max potions decrease

Added settings option: "Gamepad Mode".
If you turn it off, the game will stop looking for a connected gamepad.
For some users, the constant search for a gamepad prevented them from playing normally (in particular on Linux).
The option can also be switched at any time with the F8 key.
We apologize if the last update broke your game.

Hi all!
This is FourQuarters.
Some news to start:
Work on a major update stopped at 80% two months ago, but we will continue development soon.
Almost all graphics and code are finished, mostly texts/sounds/balance remain.
Also, so far, after the release of the version for Nintendo Switch, there have been a few fixes and now we decided to update the PC version along with them.
And also added support for gamepads!
Here is a list of exactly supported gamepads:
Windows:
- Any xInput (XBox and analogs)
- Sony DualShock 3/4 + Dualsence
MacOS:
- Sony DualShock 3/4
- XBox 360 controller
- Anything else is not guaranteed, as MacOS does not allow the game to change the mapping of connected gamepads.
Linux Ubuntu (other systems are not officially supported by Game Maker Studio):
- Sony DualShock 4
- There may be others, but it was not possible to check, since the virtual machine reacts strangely to connected gamepads.
- It is also likely that Linux users will need to install drivers for gamepads:
sudo apt-get install jstest-gtk
sudo apt-get install joystick
We will continue (as far as possible under the current conditions), work on updating!
P.S. If the gamepad buttons do not appear in the game, but the joystick itself works, then in the game settings in the 'Controller' tab in Steam, you need to disable the 'Steam input mode'.

== IMPORTANT UPDATE ==
You might notice a new toggle on the bottom of the options menu - "alternative timing method" - it can fix freeses or lags for you, or maybe high CPU usage and overheating.
If you have those issues, try to switch it on (or off), and reboot the game if that doesn't work.

Hopefully fixed "save corrupted" issue
Fixed an issue with game not giving out demo achievements to players
Removed a memory leak

Battle fields no more turn into shipwrecks when placed diagonally to the river type tiles
