Changelog for WORLD OF HORROR 0.9.12 (+ 0.9.13) "HUNTER'S DAUGHTER" (24 March 2020 / added 07 May 2020):

‘HUNTER’S DAUGHTER’ content
- a new character, Moriko, has been added with 3 character-exclusive perks and one generic perk
- a new powerful weapon, OLD SHOTGUN, comes with its own nasty surprise
- two new injuries curses and a new interaction
- a new character story: ILL-FATED

MODDING
- you are now able to create, export and import custom events!
- the update comes with an introductory pack containing instructions, example art and multiple events created by panstasz and members of the official WORLD OF HORROR Discord community
- to find more custom events, the most convenient place to look is in WORLD OF HORROR's official Discord channel

DEATH MODES
- feedback proved the current death mode (die at the beginning of an encounter) was complicated and not that fun
- to counter that, two death modes have been added: LAST STAND and SUDDEN DEATH
- SUDDEN DEATH kills all characters who drop under 1 STA/REA instantly
- LAST STAND allows characters to drop up to -5 STA/REA, which gives players a chance to rethink their strategy, forget a spell or use a healing item
