Free Content Update: Freezing Moon
We are happy to present you a new game mode. Freezing Moon is faster, more intensive and challenging than the original game.
Before the blind, omnipotent, and insane Chaos reigned in the Universe, there was only the Absolute Cold. Eternal stasis, adverse to all aspects of life, Absolute Order and Absolute Nothing. A spark of Chaos disrupted the perfect harmony of Absolute Cold, and Nothing became Something. Something indescribably cold, driven by the hate not just of Life but of Being at large. You feel it around you and inside you.
Once again, the Changers and the Keepers will decide the world's fate. Should you try to banish the eternal frost by embracing the Chaotic ways of Eldritch Gods or accept it as natural and become one with the cold, the only true God?
Some tweaks, rebalancing and bugfixing were introduced to the original game as well.
Next important milestones:

- The shop and sacrifices are available from the beginning.
- All rituals require three essences or a sacrifice.
- Players lose physical and mental health every night, except those who finished a ritual the night before.
- The more players protect themselves with a ritual – the more others will suffer.
- Losing all Body points for the second time brings permanent death.
- There are no time limits, the game can be endless. But it won't because everyone will die quickly.
- There is no Final ritual. The team that has survivors wins.
Some tweaks, rebalancing and bugfixing were introduced to the original game as well.
- For example, the Snake minion is much more useful now, and alchemy hints are more clever.
- Some Multiplayer bugs fixed.
- AI is much more intelligent now and does not cheat with alchemy anymore.
- Bedridden players do not participate in the Shared Events.
- New achievements added, more to come
Next important milestones:
- PvP combat. We wanted to release it sooner, but it needs more polishing.
- Multiplayer for Freezing Moon.
- Mac port. It is in Beta now, there are some potentially game-breaking compatibility issues, but they will be fixed.
- Difficulty settings. Refactoring of the whole “gameplay settings” section.
- Locked bonus content. Did you ever think about strange Nyarlothotep invocations in the original game, where the player was told to see the hidden truth about the Game and about the world itself? It was not just a flavour. Finishing those extremely difficult rituals will really give you access to some cool bonuses (for example, early concept art).
