The tale can be told again, and differently

The tale, told again The tale can be told again, and differently. A hero who has walked it to its end will find the woods do not repeat themselves word for word. Many new pictures were drawn for that second telling, most of them by day and by night.

Old words, new secrets The woods have learned a handful of new secrets, and those who grew up typing strange words into old games may find they still remember some. A secret found answers in the look of the game it came from. Any hero may now wear an epithet the secrets gave them, and it stands after their title wherever the title is shown.

A gentler first minute A newcomer can play with one tap from the front page and walks straight into the woods. After each win they are told how far the first master still is. A guest who logs out is warned plainly that the hero will be lost.

Fights told truer A fight against a pack now tells each round with the creature that stood in front. A win is flawless only if no blow of the foe landed at all. A companion's healing keeps up with each new level, and a refused duel says plainly why.

Letters and small comforts Each letter brings its own notification to a phone. The chat page stays on the talk after a line is said. The smith names what was bought and traded in, and the chest's cards stand tidy in a row.
