A Note from the Developers**

Honestly, this update exists because of you.

Your feedback, clips, streams, bug reports, and even the random late-night messages keep shaping Demonologist more than you might think. We read, we watch, and we take notes — all of it matters.

Cursed Chapel was built with the community in mind: how you move through spaces, how tension builds, and those moments where everything goes wrong in the best way possible.

This isn’t a final version, and it’s definitely not the end. We’ll be closely watching how you play the new map and we’ll keep improving things step by step.

Thanks for sticking with us, scaring yourselves, and being part of this journey.

**Clock Wizard Team ❤️**
