Game innovations

New location

Added a new location - Mines with lair of darkness. The old mines located under Riven Peak are now open to the public. In them you can find new adventures, wander around interesting places and find a lair of darkness - a terrible monolith that is the source of evil in these places.

New enemy

The Cultist is a fanatical minion of the forbidden cult who worships the monolith. He is able to get into the mind and kill anyone he sees. The cultists don't see very well in the dark, but don't get caught in his flashlight.

New ending

Expulsion of darkness. Once they reach the monolith, players can interrupt the cultists' ritual that supports it, killing them and freeing Danville and the surrounding area from the forces of darkness.

New life after death

Now, after the witch kills the player, by tearing off the head, the forces of darkness make the head "come to life", turning it into a terrible spider-like creature that can follow its friends, but, unfortunately, it will not be able to escape.

After completing the game on a new ending, players will receive a new achievement that they can brag to their friends.
