- Update 14: The Exterminator Update - 4 December 2025
Welcome, Wanderers!! Today is a juicy patch for you all! We have been cooking away, drawing out the essence of the vessel! Literally! You are no longer a floating gun, but an enraged Soul! With HANDS!!! No arms though, too far out of budget. That’s right, you have a character you can actually see that represents your hunger for slimy souls. We have a bit more work to do for the Exterminator, but we are happy with the manifestation as it stands now. Look forward to seeing some of the more dynamic updates to the character. Alongside the character, we went back to where it all started to rework the Forest map! No longer are you trapped in a square, or endlessly marching across the infinite wastes with a simple tree or lamp standing around. We have made the map more of a maze that you have to navigate. There are dead ends and alcoves that you could find yourself trapped within if you aren’t…
- An Echo From The Abyss - 26 October 2025
Greetings Voidlings!! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? We are reaching out from the shadows of our keyboards to give you an update on the update! Our last major update introduced changes to the game's visuals, enhancing the user experience and aligning with the theme. We brought you two new maps, 4 guns, and 6 souls. Alongside these were a slew of new artifacts, stats, and general rebalances. Since then, we have continued working on balance, maps, and making the game overall more fun. We have decided to move away from the flat map design of ye olde build. For example, you will find the classic Forest map has a layout that you are going to navigate to find the shrines and survive. The foul creatures of darkness will wander out from the trees as you fight your way through the sparse paths to gain more power. Enemy art tuning, menus, and a major change to the lore and your experience are here…

- Update 12: The Beyond Update - 4 December 2024
Greetings, Exterminators! Today’s update is a special one! To start with, we have revamped all of the enemies currently in the game to match the upgraded art for our weapons. With a shiny new coat of paint, the starving souls of the fallen will march toward you with renewed beauty, almost making you sad to destroy such artful renditions of the Old Ones’ will. But once you see the new Bosses barreling toward you, only then can you appreciate the power Their Will can grant upon a wayward soul. Moving BEYOND the enemies, a new Tribulation has been revealed: BEYOND!! See what we did there? ;D This new Tribulation adds a new level of difficulty for our hungry Vessels. With steeper enemy scaling, we are introducing a new challenge, and are planning updates coming to add more depth to these brutal levels. On another note, we have removed the Transmutations, as we felt their attainment relied t…

In addition, we have brought in 3 new Vessels: Grant’s Partner, a hard-hitting coach gun, meant to hammer targets that venture too close to you. The Judge, a shotgun pistol that packs a wallop and maintains a small profile and light step. Virin’s Atomizer, our local mad scientist’s tool for rapid restructuring into palatable soul fragments.
