    1. Patch 1.1 is live now!
    2.  
    3. Greetings Maze Architects!
    4.  
    5. We are very happy to present you with MINOS 1.1, a meaningful patch introducing a new streamlined mode, additional content, two difficulty modes, balance changes, bugfixes & improvements, a lot of which was based on your feedback so far, and for which we are extremely grateful. Good stuff - keep it coming! steamhappy
    6.  
    7. As always, we invite you to join our community on Discord - it's the best place to share feedback, report bugs, and chat with the team.
    8.  
    9.  
    10. WHAT 1.1 is all about?
    11.  
    12. New Roguelite Mode*!
    13. Listening to your feedback, we decided to come up with an entirely new mode, separate to the Story experience. It’s designed for players who enjoy roguelike/roguelite games, have already completed Story Mode, or just felt the base experience was too slow. Check it out now!
    14.  
    15. This mode removes tutorials, story, puzzles, and secrets for a more streamlined experience. You only spend XP after defeat, creating a faster, simpler loop focused on shorter runs.
    16.  
    17. *we still treat this mode as something to experiment with a bit in the future, based on your feedback, therefore it's marked as "Beta" in the Main Menu.
    18.  
    19.  
    20. Additional details:
    21.  
    22. New mode is accessible from Main Menu
    23.  
    24. There’s no story
    25.  
    26. Tent with XP upgrades is available only at Depth 0. All other camp facilities are unlocked by default
    27.  
    28. Traversal has been mostly cleared out: no Daedalus, Diggables, Chests, Mushrooms, Scrolls, Secret Hatches, Simulacrum, etc.
    29.  
    30. There are no shortcuts
    31.  
    32. Keys and some irrelevant Artifacts were removed
    33.  
    34. Active wave cannot be reset from Pause Menu - instead you can surrender your current run
    35.  
    36. Speed-up is available in Traversal
    37.  
    38. After completing the final wave, you can take on up to 3 bonus waves for greater Silver Obol rewards
    39.  
    40. Lost Aristoi Souls now offer Trap Upgrades instead of Artifacts in exchange for Gold Obols
    41.

    43.  
    44.  
    45. Balance changes
    46. These changes are game-wide, and apply also to Story Mode.
    47.  
    48. Additional Difficulty Mode added. Players will be prompted to select either Normal or Hard mode before starting a New Game. You may also change the difficulty settings in the Gameplay tab, when accessing Options from the Pause Menu
    49.  
    50. Normal Mode - Suitable if you want to beat the game without much hassle. It won't force you to be super effective, just don't make big mistakes and you'll be fine. Free retries, slightly weaker enemies with fewer trap resistances.
    51.  
    52. If you're mid-playthrough when the game updates to 1.1, you'll be experiencing this mode. If you're up for the extra challenge, remember to switch to Hard
    53.  
    54. Hard Mode - Demanding, but fair. It will require you to effectively use all game mechanics, to combo traps, to create synergies. This is the original experience we intended.
