🔥 Back from Val-Con
After 2 months focused on Val-Con, Enigma development is officially back, and it’s coming back stronger.

Val-Con gave a ton of new ideas, playtesting data, and direction, and this patch cycle reflects that. A lot of systems have been refined based on real player behavior, not just theory.

If you’ve been waiting to jump back in, this is a good moment.
