Parasite Black – Version 0.157

1.) DO NOT try and use old saves. Use the quick save feature – delete persistent data if you encounter any strange errors or bugs whilst playing and see if that resolves the issue. Otherwise, please report it in the discord!

2.) There’s a lot of ‘balancing’ issues and things to be sorted due to the sheer amount of changes happening, as well as missing elements yet to be implemented. We will be working on this once the final skills/stats and things are in, very soon!

3.) It’s been a long wait for this update (largely due to the amount of prep for the upcoming steam release) – we plan to fire out some much quicker updates as we get ever closer to the release, including the next major city and continuing the main story!
