New in this release:

  • Reachability: overland tile browsing now says "out of reach" on tiles you can't currently walk to.
  • Path readout: V speaks the walking course from the party to the browsed tile — "North 4, east 2, arrive." Works from the POI list as well.
  • Combat movement narration: your own WASD steps are spoken as you take them, and a clicked movement course reports where the walk stopped. The placement phase before a fight announces selecting, placing, and swapping characters.
  • Combat speech rework: actions that previously spoke twice or three times (combat log, character bark, and status strip all reporting the same event) now merge into one line.

Fixes from player reports:

  • Tutorial popup titles are now read.
  • List positions count the full list, not the visible page (the class picker no longer says "10 of 20").
  • Dialogue story text is no longer counted as a one-item list.
  • In the attribute editor, pressing Left/Right for minus/plus no longer jumps to a different row, and each row announces itself on landing.

The F1 key tables include the new keys.

Install as before: extract into the SKALD game folder, merging folders if asked. You'll hear "Beholder 0.5.5 loaded."
