A siren song fills your ears, and you feel a distant beckoning. Can you resist the lure toward the Home of the Island's Heart? The fourth phase of Jagged Earth content is now available with a new Spirit and Scenario.



Lure of the Deep Wilderness: A few wanderers have spoken, in voices of wonder mingled with fear, of finding the Spirit that called them ever-further inland. But most never even saw it, only felt its distant beckoning.

The Great River: The island is vast, and the Invaders are firmly entrenched in its western lands. They now seek to push east across a mighty river and open up a new frontier. Can the Spirits hold them back?

In the last update, players who had both mouse and touch screens encountered problems with mouse input. This hot fix reverts that behavior by default. If you wish to use a touch screen in this situation, enable the "Use Touchscreen Input" checkbox in the Options screen.

The third phase of Jagged Earth arrives, with Visions of a Shifting Future revealing facets of existing Spirits' natures and a new Spirit that alters time as we know it.
