Food now shows how much HP it restores. Tap a resource to read its full details. Fixed cut-off text on smaller screens and with larger text settings. Automation priorities are easier to choose. Added repeatable shell gathering on the Coast so buildings no longer get stuck. Your existing save carries over. Chapter, purchase and other dialogs now scroll with larger text. Improved onboarding, death-screen text and accessibility controls.

Everburn 2.0 rebuilds the first hour around what this genre is for: watching yourself get faster. Every life is measured against the last. Jobs show the pace they ran at last time, milestones show what you beat, and the death screen shows what carried over into the next body. The Woods are cold now. Lives are short, and the first chapter takes a few of them. Time away is banked instead of guessed at. Spend it at 5x and watch the lives run. The queue does what you wrote. Jobs stopped bouncing between each other, and a stockpile that fills up stops its job and tells you why. Every perk compounds now, so the tenth level is worth as much as the first. The Essence you already spent is refunded once, to spend again. The first three chapters are free. The screen was redrawn around one job at a time: the work in front of you, the larder beside it, and your plan as a row you can edit in a tap.

The berry patch runs out now. You could survive forever on redberries, which meant a lot of first sessions ended without a single death - and dying is the whole point. Every death makes the next body permanently stronger. Now the thicket is picked clean after a while, so your first life actually ends, and you get paid for it. Building something for the first time also banks a little permanent Max HP. Fixed the automation bug where habits would repeat the same job forever instead of rotating through the work you gave them. Fixed a case where food sat unused in your bag while you starved. Thank you to everyone who wrote in - the usage stats added last update showed me exactly where people were getting stuck, and this update is almost entirely built from what they said.

Removed the reminder prompt from the death screen. It was confusing and badly placed - reminders still live in Settings if you want them. Fixed faint text that was hard to read on some buttons and panels. Fixed the in-app rating prompt, which wasn't appearing when it should have. Everburn now sends a tiny anonymous once-per-session summary (chapter reached, session length - never anything about you) so I can find where the game loses people and fix it. Full details in the privacy policy, and you can turn it off any time in Settings under "Usage stats".

You asked for: Buildings and tools now say what they actually do. Food shows what it heals, and has its own section in your stock. Partial progress survives switching between several jobs, not just one. Fixes: The ember cache was paying far too much for claiming it constantly. Now it pays for waiting. The opening no longer tells you to stock food before you have any. New Game+ now warns you that chapters reset. Also: Queue counts go x1, x5, x10, x20, and infinite. Rebuilt sounds. New players start silent; if you had sound on, it stays on. Toggle in Settings. Warmer colours, and the faint text is readable now.

Your fire keeps working while you're away, and now it remembers more. FINDS While you work you'll turn up the occasional cache, a richer seam, or a real windfall. It's never nothing for long: a find is guaranteed if you go dry, so bad luck can't stall you. KEEP THE FIRE LIT Play on consecutive days and the first death you bank each day pays extra. Miss a day and the fire goes cold, but you can rekindle it instead of starting over. EMBERS Your fire banks a cache while the app is closed. The longer you leave it, the more there is to claim. RECORDS Longest life, deepest chapter reached, fastest clears, lives lived. Every run now has a number to beat. SHARE YOUR FIRE A card from your run you can send to anyone. ALSO Second lives start faster. Your instincts carry more of the last life forward than they used to, and you feel it in the first few seconds. The chapter name at the top opens the map now. Optional reminders, off unless you turn them on. Death tells you what's next: the wall ahead, and what's one repeat away from running itself. A NOTE ON THE FREE TIER New players now get chapter 1 free, and one purchase unlocks the other ten. If you already had more than that, you keep it. Nothing you could play before is locked now.

Chapter names refreshed so the map reads clearly at a glance. Tidied up the store and purchase screens. Thanks for playing.
