Greetings Cultists,
We bear most excellent news, the first major Early Access content update has just been released!
You can now explore two more levels – Forest and Corn Field - and slay hordes of insanity inducing enemies using a brand new weapon, the Thunderonomicon or a new variant of the harpoon gun, the mighty Whale’s Bane. All that amidst Christmas-themed decorations, because the holiday spirit reaches even worlds sunk deep into the madness of the Great Old Ones...
To mark the occasion, we have prepared a new trailer for your enjoyment as well:
