Eremidia: An Empty Tome - Chessmaster's Challenge RC3 is finally here. 

In this version, the major change lies in the addition of character cut-ins when casting abilities in battle. Several minor updates including INT stat now actually affects spell damage, quick access to party members' skills and equipment in the main menu and some other subtle quality-of-life improvements around combat mechanics.

Note:

• While old save files are still working on the updated game build, several things like skills learned by each character won't be updated once you boot up the game with your old save file. It is recommended to start over once you updated the game.
• For those who have already downloaded RC2 build (v1.5.180419-RC2), download the necessary update package (Update v1.5.270419-RC3) embedded in this devlog and extract it in the main game folder.
• Check CHANGELOG for more details
