Survivors,
The air feels different this week. Perhaps it’s the chill of autumn sweeping through Toruń, or perhaps it’s the wind from Tartarus itself creeping through the cracks between worlds. The fires burn lower, and the scent of smoke and carved pumpkin mixes strangely with ash.
We’d call it a seasonal bug, but no. This time, it’s definitely a trick by Hades himself.
To celebrate mortals’ curious habit of mixing fear with laughter, the Lord of the Dead has twisted the Basements into a grotesque parody of harvest cheer. What once hid secrets of the underworld now brims with pumpkins - foul, grinning things that spitting at anything that moves.
Fear not, though. The spell will fade in a week’s time, and the pumpkins will return to whatever corner of the Underworld they escaped from.
Yet not everything will vanish.
In his strange generosity, Hades has allowed a few of his servants to stay. These skeletons, risen from Tartarus and crowned with pumpkins in place of heads, have decided to fight for you instead of against you. You can find them in the Workshop and enlist them to aid you in your next run.
Consider it a treat from the God of the Dead himself.
🕯️ Your Halloween Checklist
Explore the pumpkin-filled Basements before they disappear next week.
Recruit your skeletal allies and let them rattle beside your Myrmidons.
Enjoy the eerie calm while it lasts… The dark never stays quiet for long.
Whether you are fighting the undead in Tartarus or watching the mist roll over the river here in Toruń, we wish you a hauntingly good Halloween.
Stay warm, Survivors. It's so cold here ːzoteː
