After several tests, Archivist's Curse v1.8 is now available to download.

The game is an improvement of its predecessor (namely, back when it was Chessmaster's Challenge), with additional contents, several QoL stuff, and a streamlined storyline. Some of the major improvements are:

• Two game modes: Chessmaster's Match, where the player must win at least 10 matches against the Chessmaster; and Dark Alley, where the player can unlock more companions and gather materials for crafting gears as well as promoting the existing companions;
• Tutorial mode, which is separated from the main game--consider it as the "virtual reality" level;
• It's now possible to choose Dark Alley levels;
• The reintroduction of the Crafting feature as well as the new Promotion feature;
• Improved inventory management with "Take All" option and Shared Stash;
• The introduction of regional bosses in Dark Alley exploration mode; and
• Several bug fixes addressed in both previous versions and the v1.8 closed beta version.

Note that the game's current build is not 100% error-proof. Some aspects of the game may not work properly; don't hesitate to reach me if you find any bugs/glitches when playing Archivist's Curse v1.8.

That's all for now. Cheers!
