Today, we are releasing version 0.8 of our SYF’s closed alpha! This major update brings numerous exciting new features including the highly requested Online Play! Invite friends via Steam or manually send room codes and join up for a game through the endless nether realms of the internets.
Participants wishing for additional Steam keys to give to their friends can send me a message via private message on Discord. We will be hosting online games with Alpha tester during the next month, so fellow to the SYF Discord channel and join up! Streamers, we can join up with you and play a few matches live if you invite us in advance.
Version 0.8 is not just about online play however: players will be able to try out the new Cult features. Cults are a complete rework of the old “Madness” mechanic. When your stress bar is full, unleash the power of your cult and transform into an avatar of your chosen Ancient. Only the cult of Cthulhu is ready for testing at the moment, but more are coming in the next few months. Yes, you read that right: you can be Cthulhu.
