Summary (AI)

Patch 1.2 for Horripilant introduces descriptive tooltips for consumables and new sound effects for missed attacks, interactions, key collection, and unlocking doors. Enemy health is reduced by 50% on floors 1-25, gradually normalizing by floor 50, with an adjustment to the health scaling exponent. Several skill and upgrade costs have been significantly reduced or adjusted to improve progression balance. The camp area features a new music track, and quality-of-life improvements include better save behavior, refined keybind descriptions, and enhanced UI interactions. Additional fixes address typos, audio inconsistencies, and task hints.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.
