Hello everyone!
Thank you all so much for supporting Dread Delusion over the years through early access and now post 1.0 release. Today, the team has their final content update for you all that they've been hard at work on over the last few months. We've got a really unique island to explore and the arrival of Hard Mode!
To celebrate this new update, Dread Delusion will be 20% for one week! There's never been a better time to explore the Oneiric Isles.
But we've got a lot to cover, so let's dive right in!

Creature Island[/h3]
Legends tell of some Wikkans who built a castle inside of a cephalok's shell. Using your sky-faring airship, travel to this new expanse and discover the secrets held within.
- Explore the innards of an ancient squid as you traverse through the Cephalok, a magical creature filled with rare materials.
- Encounter new enemies, including the Dredgers, who have claimed the Cephalok as their home.
- Acquire new powerful, late-game items.
- Discover the mystery surrounding the Cephalok and why it's shown up in the Oneiric Isles.

Hard Mode[/h3]
Along with Creature Island is a new challenge for veterans of the Oneiric Isles in the form of Hard Mode. In this mode, seasoned players will have to retool their playstyle for the increased challenge in Dread Delusion.
- Enemies can take more punishment and deal more in turn. Players may also come across new groups and formations of foes across the isles.
- Attacks will ask more of the players' resources, with strikes and incantations costing more mana and stamina.
- Items and ingredients will be harder to come by, forcing players to plan and be more efficient in their adventures.

With a new frontier to explore, there's also new loot to be discovered. As you travel across the slimy interiors of the Cephelok, keep an eye out for new materials and equipment!
- New airship components to further customize your flying vessel.
- Shroom Weave Ore and Weapons to satiate your battle mage fantasies.
- Temporal Pickaxe to make collecting mineral-based ingredients quicker.
