That's right, all the music you've been listening to, since Abyssal Terrors release, is made by a solo dev who just released his own game, a roguelike bullet-heaven where you play a disease infecting a human body.Since he's done so much for Brotato, we thought it was only fair to shine some light on his work by doing this bundle!

- Fixed an issue where Codex progression was not properly loaded at game launch. - Fixed how the progress bar is calculated. With this patch, we are fixing the Codex progression previously compromised by our previous patch. Unfortunately, users who played the game in its 1.1.14.4 version (previous patch version) will not see their Codex restored. That is because, when the game loaded, it detected a blank version of the Codex. Then, by playing the game, this blank Codex was set in stone in the save files, overwriting your previous Codex progression. From then, even by fixing the Codex bug, we c
