Thanks!
I hope NG+ mode will appear soon. Using the Power Mace on the streets of Jurmum is just plain fun!
Especially with this mace you are almost immortal (sometimes even too immortal - for example, if you jump from the streets down until you fall to the surface, but you don’t die, you can run on it, but you will not be able to get out on your own).
It’s a pity, I didn’t manage to test Power Mace on the bosses - after all, they are already dead.

That's all very nice, but I'm sorry to tell you that I'm not affiliated with the devs or GOG, so you're directing your thanks and feedback to the wrong person.

Oh, sorry. Hyperstrange vs. Hypersomniac. I was inattentive.

Nah, no need for apologies. Shame the devs will miss your post as they don't seem to peek in here.

Changelog for Update 1.037 (01 June 2020):

Warriors! Today is a good day to die. Perma-die. Your continuous support keeps us working on improving ELDERBORN and today marks the addition of a much player-requested feature. As if the game wasn't hard enough (yeah, we know it's not for some of you - hats off!), you wanted to have the option to play with permadeath. As in no respawn. You die, you're dead-dead, and the game removes your save file. Yea, some of you feel THAT cocky. So here it is...
Ironman Mode!
This option can only be applied to a new game, so if you want a really hardcore challenge of conduid-filled NG+ and permadeath combined, you need to prove yourself first by completing the base campaign without dying once. The new play mode also comes with an appropriate new achievement to hunt for. Good hunting!

MORE LANGUAGES!
But there's more! Today's update introduces 2 new language packs to ELDERBORN. Players in Russia and Hungaria are now able to enjoy the game in their respective native tongues. This brings us to a total of 8 language versions, including English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian, Polish, and Hungarian. We'd like to thank the amazing Lostprophet.hu of the Babble Knights translator team for supporting the Hungarian LOC. The Russian version was prepared by Roboto Global.

That's it for today. We'll see you around, as there's much more Hyperstrange news to be excited about in the near future. We'll keep you posted, so stick around!
