Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones 1.1 Update Live

The long-awaited 1.1 Update for Cultic Games' Lovecraftian RPG Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones is finally here. In one fell swoop, it manages to address most of the game's notable issues, including its save system, slow combat, nebulous mechanics and abundant bugs. So, if you're looking to play an atmospheric RPG, you might want to give Stygian a go now.

You can find the complete changelog here and read a quick overview below:

Brethren!

It is time to reap the sweet fruits of patience!

The largest update for Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones is out!

O! Mighty 1.1! Shall you reign over the illiterate and the wretched!

We owe a lot to you, our players, for all the support, feedback and passion that you have shown for our little game of madness. Much obliged.

Before we jump into the Changelog, pay heed brethren! Although it is possible to migrate to 1.1 without restarting your game, we recommend deleting the STYGIAN folder in the directories below:

Windows:
C:/{USER_NAME}/AppData/LocalLow/Cultic Games

MAC:
/Users/{USER_NAME}/Library/Application Support/Cultic Games/

And just restart the game with a new character.

If you choose to continue from your existing saves, they will be recognized after installing the patch but different saves from different characters might be collected under the same character profile.

One last thing: Please note that we will be actively monitoring your reports and feedback throughout this period and will respond in vigilance with hotfixes. So don’t you worry and enjoy the game, we are prepared.

Without further ado, here’s a list of New Features and Major Overhauls that are present in 1.1:
  • A Tutorial System that explains all the core and subsidiary systems of the game.
  • Considerably increased Combat Speed
  • Character Profiles
  • Manual Saving and Quick Saving
  • Combat Hit Probability Indicator to display your “to hit” chance in battle scenarios
Along with hundreds of Bug Fixes and Improvements including issues encountered in problematic areas such as Blasted Street, Ward 10, a variety of crashes, situations carried in between different save files, Panic State malfunctions, Light and Darkness mechanics, Rest and Crafting Mechanics, Perk and Item functionality and much more!

[...]

We wish all of you good luck in this fell, remorseless, stygian realm.

Team Cultic
