During the holiday season I was away with my family, but Expedition To Madness never stopped evolving.
Today I’m happy to release Update 0.2.45, the largest demo update so far.
This release focuses on depth, clarity, and replayability, introducing parallel versions of worlds, better player guidance, and new systems that push the experience further into cosmic horror.
