What's New in Dead Souls Daily
1.5
August 30, 2026
Read any quote in full. Tap a quote in the Archive or your Saved Sorrows to open it on its own, set like the daily page - then step straight back to where you were. The archive keeps your place. Share a quote from three hundred entries deep and you return to the same spot, with your search and filter intact. A better card to share. Quotes are now set on textured paper, inside a printed border, with the date beneath. Choose Story or Post depending on where it is going, so nothing is cropped away. Also in this version: precise chapter citations are on by default once you unlock the archive, and the home screen widget has been tidied up at its larger sizes.
