Major update #2 for Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle is now live, bringing a new difficulty mode and some other quality of life improvements.
We received many requests for a New Game+ mode in the game, to add more replayability to the experience.
Looking at the game we thought that simply restarting the same playthrough with all the upgrades wasn’t enough.
So we created the H.A.D.E.S. mode, a new difficulty based on Hardcore and we tweaked it a little bit, keeping in mind that the player starts with all the available Frost Grip and weapons related upgrades.
We also addressed other feedback we received, such as the possibility to customize the camera distance and the ability to activate the Automatic Hacking process and the Frost Beam anywhere during the playthrough.
Finally we added the chance to drop Steam Trading Cards from playing the game.
We thank you for all your feedback and your support, if you find other issues you can report them to us on our Discord.
Below are all the changes we made in detail:
