Added 2025-09-26 19:24:34 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone! After a short journey through Silksong, I’m finally back — and development of Into the Depths resumes.

We are now stepping into the last scene of the game: The Fifth Floor – The Abyss. This is the final descent, a place overflowing with corruption and strangeness, where nearly every enemy comes with a truly unique mechanic. No battle here will ever feel ordinary.

Today, allow me to introduce the very first common enemy of the Abyss: The Apostle of Anat.

These succubi serve as handmaidens to the Lord of the Abyss, gifted with the power of Enchantment. Unlike outright mind control, Enchantment does not force victims into direct self-harm. Instead, it lures them into doing things they could do, but would not otherwise have to do.

In battle, this manifests as the succubus dictating what kind of card you may play. She will choose one type(Attack, Defense, or Skill) from your hand that you are able to play, and you can only play cards of that type. Each time you obey and play a card, her fickle mind changes, and selects a new type from what remains. Step by step, your will slips away, until you realize you’re no longer acting entirely on your own.

As Apostles of the Lord of Gluttony, they can also conjure strange food out of nowhere. And when they have consumed enough, their seductive figures grow chubby, and their intentions shift—from tempting mortals, to inviting them to fall together into corruption.

The Abyss has only just begun to unveil itself, and countless bizarre threats still lie ahead. Thank you all for your patience and support—let’s look forward to uncovering the secrets that wait in the depths!
