We have a new release filled to the brim with bug fixes and some improvements/additions to the curse system. Hope you enjoy!
Bonus Promo: The Steam Spring Sale has sprung! Wayward is currently -25% off during the event. Tell your friends! https://store.steampowered.com/app/379210/Wayward/
Bonus Tip: Maxing out a skill still provides attribute/stat (strength (health), dexterity (stamina), etc.) increases when using it. There’s no limit on these stats; however, the higher they are, the harder they are to increase. To find out which stats increase when using a specific skill, you can open up the skill dialog (default “V”) to reveal this, as long as you have increased a stat with that skill in the past.
New
