  • Important info:

    -The breach window was roughly 1:30 PM-2:30 PM Eastern (1830-1930 UTC+0) on 12/25.
    -Downfall is safe to launch once more, and has been since roughly 2:30-2:40 PM Eastern on 12/25 (1920 UTC+0 on 12/25).
    -If you did not launch Downfall in the breach window, you’re clear.
    -If you got an automatic update for Downfall on 12/25 but did NOT launch, you’re clear.
    -If you launched Downfall via the Steam Workshop (meaning you actually launched Slay the Spire), you’re clear.
    -If you did launch Downfall on 12/25 and succeeded and everything looked normal, you’re clear.
    -If you did launch Downfall on 12/25 and saw a command-prompt like screen, that starting spitting out a bunch of text after about 10 seconds, you’re in the clear. That was actually just the Java log which we usually keep hidden, but accidentally left visible when we restored the game.
    -If you did launch Downfall on 12/25 and got a ‘no .exe found’ type of error, you’re clear. That was us exploding the game to prevent anyone else from being affected.
    -If you did launch Downfall on 12/25 during the breach window and got a Unity library installer popup, please continue to read. You may be also at risk.

    I’ve read them all and liked them all. They all feel quite different.

    Pact is urban fantasy about a protagonist dealt the shittiest hand and dealing with that. It gets pretty dark but I really like the world it creates.

    Twig is about kids at an academy in a world where alchemy and biology took off. To the point where grade schoolers creating Frankenstein’s Monster would be a class project. It deals with flawed characters in a really unique world.

    Ward is the sequel to Worm staring a very traumatized Glory Girl. Imo it’s about healing and dealing with trauma and forgiveness. It’s the toughest of Wildbow’s works in part because he got a LOT of negativity during this that made writing harder. But I liked it for what it was and how it expanded on the Entities lore.

    Pale takes place in the world of Pact but in the future with different setting and characters. 3 girls introduced to magic with a strong emphasis on the Others and how they and humans coexist. I think it’s his best work so far and would suggest picking up here if something else doesn’t strike your fancy. Wildbow has said he likes writing in this world and I think it shows.

    I’d also check out: https://www.patreon.com/wildbow/about , it has concise descriptions of each work by the author.
