Praise be to the Dead Gods!
We’re back with the biggest update to the game since launch. This patch focuses heavily on improving the UI and delivering substantial changes to combat.
Whispers of the Eyeless is a game entirely illustrated by Szymon “OFF” Łopatka, whose unique art style is the soul of the project. But as a young studio, we struggled to make UI elements clear, readable, and visually distinct — so players could easily tell what’s interactive and what’s purely decorative. This update introduces many new interface elements and visual improvements to reduce confusion and frustration.
Combat, however, is where the largest changes take place. We’ve read a lot of your feedback and focused on improving clarity, build expression, and overall gameplay feel. Too many Tales elements relied on conditional effects or situational damage, making Prophet building harder than it needed to be. With this update, we’re pushing combat toward clearer choices and more rewarding builds:
Weapons and armor no longer have extra effects — instead, they feature different core stats. This lets you shape your Prophet’s direction right from the start. Previous bonus effects now appear on cursed items, so they’re still discoverable.
All stances now have limited uses that refresh after combat. This prevents spamming a single stance and encourages more tactical decision‑making. Many stances — especially defensive ones — received significant buffs.
Common and Rare Blessings have been reworked. Common Blessings now include meaningful choices, sometimes offering stronger bonuses with drawbacks. Rare Blessings received major buffs, with some effects increased three‑ or even four‑fold.
Special attacks have been overhauled. Previously, filling the Special bar was slow and the payoff wasn’t strong enough. We’ve buffed Special effects and increased Special generation across items, Blessings, events, and more — allowing full Special‑focused builds.
Rest for everyone. Deciding to go to the another Tale tier rewards with Health replenishment and increases maximum Sanity. You earned that!
This update also includes many smaller tweaks to highlight mechanics that previously felt too weak to matter.
Our next major step for Whispers of the Eyeless will be improving the Sanctum and simplifying certain systems without removing content — but that’s for the future.
More updates are coming; stay tuned! Join our Discord and follow us on X/Twitter and BlueSky to stay close to the darkness. Your story in Whispers of the Eyeless is about to begin anew. - Evil Gingerbreads
