Cult of PiN has received patch v1.0.18, roughly ten days after the release of version 1.0.

After the launch-week hotfixes, the developer now delivers a bigger feature update: the Ritual upgrade system has been reworked, all late-game scaling caps have been removed, and a new extensible upgrade system aims to make adding future content much easier.

v1.0.18 Changes:

Ritual Upgrade Rework & Balance

• Modular Upgrade Choices: I have replaced the old Ritual upgrade paths (3 big upgrades followed by mission count reductions) with a new modular system: when improving a ritual, you now pick from 1 of 3 minor upgrades that you can tailer to your run.
• Alternative Utility Upgrades: Included in this change, you may now also be presented with certain utility options, such as re-opening the shop mid-Act, instantly triggering the selected ritual, resetting all Blockers or gaining a flat % damage boost.
• Easier Triggering: Ritual Altars now require only 10 hits to start with (down from 20), providing faster early-game momentum without overpowering mid-to-late runs.
• Zealot Ball Rework: Zealot ball still starts with all rituals, however it now also lowers the Ritual Altar hit requirements compared to other balls. Zealot’s Ball Ritual has been changed to now instantly triggering all other rituals simultaneously, and the mission requirement to activate it has been adjusted from 10 to 12.

Uncapped Late-Game

• Expanded Number Caps: Increased maximum damage, total scores, leaderboard entries, and bumper HP limits from 9x10^18 to 2x10^308.
• Act Cap Removal: Removed the Act 30 cap. Bumper HP now continues scaling all the way up to Act 357.
• Blessing Pool Cleanup: Once you have equipped all available unique blessings, the pool will only offer blessings with repeatable effects.

UI, Steam Deck & Bug Fixes

• Steam Cloud Save Sync: Fixed an underlying cloud sync issue, with saves now syncing correctly across all devices.
• Resolution & Deck UI Scaling: Added UI scaling across several panels for Steam Deck and low-res displays.
• Max Glyph Warning: Added a clear popup warning when attempting to purchase items while at maximum glyph capacity.
• Multi-Monitor Cursor Lock: Removed cursor locking when playing in windowed mode or on dual-monitor setups.
• Controller Rumble Fix: Fixed controller vibration not stopping if you exit the tutorial while rumble was active.
• Text & Localization: General polish on typos, UI strings, and localization formatting.
