But don't worry, you'll eventually earn the right to it down in my dark, damp dungeon. Here's what we added."[/i] [h2][b]• Stats Screen 📊 •[/b][/h2] [i]"I adore pie charts, graphs, and watching humans suffer. After a bit of thinking, I decided to satisfy every one of these desires, and added the feature presented below."[/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36660602/d7738cc31ca0fe41a261dc43f6798bcc9f75eb36.png[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36660602/976d220d8028c1cada80c2dcc32afbaf1f8f9a4e.png[/img] [i]"Now I won't need to constantly remind you of how puny you are because you'll be able to see it for yourself as soon as you look at the [b]stats screen 📊[/b]. This screen can be found in [b]a new tab of the window that appears when you finish a run[/b]. It shows how your humans' stats changed on various floors and the progression of your mutations and buttons, plus gives you economic advice. We'll add multiplayer match stats for King of the Hill sometime, too, but for now, it's just monster fights. I've been meaning to give my cute little humans, robots, and undead a little more attention recently. So I gave it to them – and ended up with…⬇️" [/i] [h2][b]• New PvE Mode: Director's Cut 🎬 •[/b][/h2] [i]"This mode is for anyone who wants to go head-to-head with me and see just what I'm capable of when I, the Despot, am free of all restraints. The interdimensional Despotariat's rules don't apply here, which means I can do whatever I want with you! I added some powered-up versions of monsters with new abilities and new room configurations, especially for this mode, plus adjusted the balance. No King of the Hill here. And just you wait: I'll add even more sophisticated forms of torture to Director's Cut mode in future updates. [h3][b]Want to watch the devs suffer in Director's Cut mode?

Director's Cut mode is hardcore enough, so it was unnecessary."[/i] [hr][/hr] [h2][b]• Official Merch 👕 •[/b][/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36660602/cf2ccc46aef0f8ff32bd6d52350811184c3abb0d.png[/img] [i]"In the distant future where this game takes place, your filthy human money is worthless. But in the present, it's quite useful for my puny humans, since they still have the gargantuan task of putting me, the Despot, on my cybernetic throne in the next thousand years ahead of them. To help speed up their work, I sent them designs for my [b]official merchandise[/b]. I've dissected your puny brains a hundred different ways in my laboratories already and peered deep into the darkest corners of human consciousness. After picking through your thoughts, I came up with a selection of [b]items[/b] that you physically cannot resist!
