This is version 1.6.0, which will be the last patch that will add anything to the game, any additional patches will only be bugfixes (and maybe smaller graphical updates to the map)!

The most wanted feature has been added: The world map!

The map is not an exact replica of what the world looks like, but you should easily be able to make out which road to take to get to a certain place. After you've followed the main quest for a bit so you'll unlock the quest to kill the six guardians the skulls will show up on the map. One of the skulls will be red, and that is the dungeon that you should head to next, you can of course pick any other dungeon but you might not be able to complete it since you are lacking the items required to do so.

The map will be slightly changed after clearing certain areas (like the toxic forest and swamp).

Version 1.5.0 is now released and it contains three additional languages, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Korean! The entire game is translated as well as the steam page, and all of the acheivement names and descriptions!

Additionally there's been several minor bug fixes and graphical fixes.

I've added two additional menu options specifically to make it easier to speedrun now that there's been one official attempt/record, difficult not to get the record when you are first =D

One option is to skip the intro, because that takes up a full minute and there's nothing you can do to speed it up. The second is "Lock Cursor To Window" this is on by default, by turning it off you can, in the case of the speedrunner, vanni_van, scroll through your notes outside of the window while still actively playing the game using the keyboard or a controller.

Here is the video of the current world record for any% of Adventure of Rikka: The Cursed Kingdom =)

This patch also has a couple of minor bugfixes that was discovered during the speedrun.

Patch 1.3.0 includes a fast travel system.

The system is unlocked by freeing the man in the machine, he will unlock the temple and your start area teleporters, if you have already met him in your save file then those will be available, but with all others you have to walk up to them once before they become activated

There's also been about 30 bug fixes since the last published patch notes (1.2.5)

This post explains that the game works on the steam deck. There is a waiting list on being able to submit your game to become steam deck verified and that's reserved mainly for popular games, but hopefully we might get that stamp in the future =)


The UI of the game was actually built to fit the Steam Deck display and is then scaled up for larger monitors.

The game works without any touchscreen interaction, you can of course if you want to press the screen to navigate the menu, but just the built in controller (or any other controller) is recommended.

The Steam deck image below might be a bit distorted because I had to shrink down the screenshot to fit the picture of the deck =D

I tried taking a picture of my actual Steam Deck but it didn't look good because of glare and lighting =)

Screenshot of the inventory UI:

A huge exploit was fixed where you could break the layer transition with the grappling hook so as long as you had a layer transition anywhere like some stairs, you could effectively go up or down while staying on the same layer making you able to walk through walls.

Thanks to Beardlass for finding this bug! =)


Another huge thing in this patch is that the knockback that enemies suffer when you are hitting them is sooo much smoother now. It's an actual animation instead of an instant knockback effect.
