Field notes
The update feed gives concrete signs of active game development: recent entries cover a new roaming monster, bounce pads, secret rooms, class renames, and player trading. Its Monster Binder ties collected critter cards to stronger attacks against those creatures, while foil critters are described as tougher and guaranteed to drop their card. The site labels the game alpha, so these details describe the presented build rather than a finished release.
