Hello!

Some more bugfixes and additional settings for the game : )

##### NEW

- Added option to change difficulty both in the main menu and in-game. Default setting is same as previous, but now also has easy and hard mode.

- **Easy mode:** All creatures have **25%** **less** health and does **50%** **less** damage.

- **Hard mode: **All creatures have **25% more** health and **does 25%** **more** damage.

- Added a short Steam connection debug in the main menu to show if connection fails when initializing. If the Steam relay text becomes red, check the **#common-bugs** channel in the **Community Discord** for guides on how to fix it.

##### Fixes

- Hopefully fixed save files being corrupted. If you're still having problems with loading saves or game crashing when equipping weapons, you can head to the Community Discord to see how to remove them.

Our Community Discord also has a lot of tips & tricks for defeat bosses/finishing achievements and other players if you're looking for someone to play with : )

Restart Steam to get the update

Thanks,
