First Content Update Is Here!

Greetings, cultists!

Cthulhu's beard of tentacles is frowning upon us and as it descends, it brings the first Content Update for Forgive Me Father 2!

As we have teased in the most recent DevLog, this Content Update brings two brand-new levels, three new enemies, multiple new weapons and way more! The whole Change Log can be found below the article.

We know that in the Early Access roadmap we promised less content in the first update, but what can we say... we just love making our community happy! We have updated the roadmap accordingly.

To ensure the highest possible quality of the game, we've decided on making two big Content Updates instead of three smaller ones during the Early Access period. With this approach, we will have more time to make all the new features as good as we want them to be, and make it easier for us to analyze feedback from you - as the new systems, weapons and enemies all work in tandem, giving more content in your hands at the same time means you can help us balance the whole game properly.

However, fewer patches don't mean less content - rest assured, the Second Content Update will be filled with a huge amount of goodies as well.

And if you don't own Forgive Me Father 2 yet, the game is currently discounted by 20%, as it's a part of Fulqrum Publishing's Lovecraftian Days event!

So don't wait another second and come join the rest of the followers of Cthulhu on Discord, you can expect a w̷̡̽̔a̶̺̐̄ȑ̷̠̭m̸̙͖̃̚ ̷̛͎̐ͅw̴̹̐e̶̦̐̍l̶̜̍c̸͓͘͘ȏ̴͙̕m̵͇̹͑̓ë̵̬́ there, along with an epic contest that's starting today!
