Threads of Tomot Update 0.2.9

A note from the Devs: 

Patch 0.2.9 is around the corner, and we’ve poured a lot of hard work into making this update not only one of our biggest but also one of the most exciting yet! This release focuses heavily on improving the inventory system, bringing plenty of quality-of-life changes to make managing your items smoother and more intuitive. 

We’re excited to introduce a brand-new item slot: Trinkets! These special items will allow you to save your progress while also upgrading your character with bonuses like increased health, mana, and potentially other unique effects. Trinkets add a fresh layer of strategy and customization, giving you more ways to shape your journey through Threads of Tomot. We can’t wait to see how you use them to craft your builds!
