What's the hardest game you've ever played? Ninja Gaiden always used to top the list, but now my mind immediately goes to Dark Souls and the upper difficulties of XCOM 2. Elden Ring has its moments, especially Shadow of the Erdtree, and Dwarf Fortress can definitely catch you out. But don't forget old Salt and Sanctuary. Originally released back in 2016, the soulslike RPG with bags of visual flair may look a little lighter than FromSoft's creations, but if you don't take its 2D combat seriously, it can rip you to pieces. Eight years since it first arrived, Salt and Sanctuary is suddenly a lot

A quick follow-up for the Linux version; Windows and macOS were not affected! This update makes a small update to SDL that was added today, to fix Steam Deck OSK support: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/commit/c4b9f621649d4e2ddb05e7f396e43e2d9e0402cc With this change, the name entry screen should now automatically bring up Steam Deck's built-in keyboard! Aside from the SDL binary, all other files in the installation were untouched. We're hoping that this is the version that will get us a fully Verified rating! Enjoy!

Hi everyone! This is just a quick update from the game's Linux porter to bring the 1.0.0.9 update to Linux and macOS - this was important to preserve save compatibility across all three OSes, which is needed to pass Deck Verified cert. As soon as I finish writing this I'll be resubmitting the game to Valve so that we can get Deck support fixed! If you're playing on Deck right now, I strongly recommend forcing SteamLinuxRuntime in Properties > Compatibility > Force Compatibility Tool. Once our Deck status is updated it will likely end up doing this anyway, so better to be early than too late! T

Here's what's happening: - The 1.0.0.9 beta will run for 1-2 months. This build is limited to Windows. - The majority of changes are done and will be monitored. Other changes are still ongoing. - The patch includes a save location migration and cloud sync to that location. - There are new menu options in English. Further language localization will be implemented for the release version. Instructions and patch notes in Discussions. I will also be around in there. -- Zephyr ːsteamsaltyː :thethree:

Hello again! We have been hard at work preparing a new patch for you. Patch 1.0.0.9 is coming soon. Bugs are getting squashed and quality of life features are being added, including cloud saves! As a precaution and for testing, the patch will be released as an opt-in beta sometime in late August. When we are confident that the patch is what was intended, it will go live to all of Steam. We will also be preserving the previous patch as it has lasted a while, and many may want to preserve former ‘features’. Through the same process as Steam opt-in betas, you will be allowed to down-patch to 1.0.
