Big thank you to Snow and Aciel for the mobs + a lot of cute extras like the spooky plushies, Crulon for eldritch-ifying the world, and Tyronius for big animations!

And a special thank you to Despera for designing Elodea, and Hikari for designing Dzeza!

Release is live! Two rival cults are hunting a friend of yours, meaning to sacrifice her to their eldritch deities on Mogloween. You and the Trainers decide to take the hunt to them. Travel across Greenguard to purge the influence of Dzeza the Boundless and the God of the Depths!

"When the voices of the world join in songs of agony and insanity, the Dragon will dance with the Kraken.

What say you?" - God of the Depths

"Metrea held on to an old family recipe for Peanut Buttercups. I've never seen her eat one, which makes sense. Don't let those cute blossoms fool you, they're poisonous. I've treated a number of children who thought they'd taste buttery. I wonder why Metrea would..."

"Thok's favorites are simpler. They're sliced pineapple wheels coated in a layer of crunchy flavored sugar. It's really fun when we catch an especially ginormous pineapple. Though, it's a little frightening when we peel one, and they start kicking their arms and legs around."

"Arcana loves Limezard Gummies. They're made with real Frogzard collagen, which means that they start out tasting like citrus, but magic changes their flavor. Fire spells makes them taste like cherry, and ice makes them taste like apples...I don't understand the logic either."

"Specter sweets are my favorite! They're ribbon candies that taste like cold fog on a crisp fall evening. The ghosts of Battleon give them out. I hear they enchant the candies from the previous year's trick-or-treating to make the sweets." - Juvania

“What does their deity think? Does any of this matter to Kathool? Or am I thinking twice about reaching into the bottom of a pickle jar for no reason?" - Metrea

"Aye, I pondered the matter as well. Our star student may be enlightened, but it's against their own will." - Thok

"The Kult's methods are as low as the Depths themselves. Those bottom feeders prey on the vulnerable, and have them fuse with the dwellers of the deep until nothing remains of their identities. Our joy, sorrows, and regrets are food to be eaten, but not understood." - Arcana

"Then again, what if you had no one else? Nowhere to turn to for help? Many are alone, fending for themselves. They just slip through the cracks unseen, and life goes on without them. It's sad. I understand how being seen, loved, and accepted can be so enticing." - Juvania

“Who do the Kultists target? Anyone who feels isolated or lacks support. All this talk of us instead of I. Ours instead of mine. Facing our problems together. It all sounds good...until you get to the part about feeding each other 𝘵𝘰 each other."

"Yeah, who has time to worry about that junk? I'm more likely to get stabbed by Tetanus Fingers Thomas in an alley. Heck, you should be worried about me robbing you next."

"Take the candies in my pockets too! Hm, it's so interesting, seeing different reactions to cosmic fears."

“So what if we are but specks floating through the universe? Life begins, and it ends. The middle matters most. Even if we can do nothing but our best, the fear of looming doom doesn't dampen my spirits. I'd be more than satisfied if my last day was spent with our party." - Thok

“Dzeza’s influence causes their followers to grow without limits, giving them a fighting chance. More importantly, it allows them to do so with relatively little work. I wonder if these followers are truly scared, or merely resent their own perceived inadequacies." -Arcana

"Dzeza's Cult recruits those who feel 'small and insignificant in the face of a vast, uncaring cosmos.' They're hyper aware that there exists beings so incomprehensibly massive that all of us could be eradicated by the force of a single sigh."

And super special thank you to Despera and Hikari for…some surprises! I’ll point out the specifics later in the week so no one gets spoiled too early.

Cylisse @cylisse.bsky.social · 8d

Huge thank you to Crulon for dressing up Battleon in a new flavor of Mogloween, Tyronius for going beyond and making some really funny cutscenes, and Snow for making the new mobs and hooded NPCs.

The release is live! You and some old friends just took care of a Living Pumpkin invasion. Let’s wrap it up and call it a day! You’re finally going to get to Trick-Or-Treat in peace on Mogloween…what’s that in the water? Who's laughing at you from the Depths?

"Can you believe it? They told me 'we're a vegetarian family now.' I was one household away from Tier 3 Kathool Membership!"

"Use the correct nomenclature. 𝘞𝘦 were one household away from Tier 3 membership."

"Y-yes, of course! We need to tell the greater Adeptii about this!"

"Good eveningtide, my brothers and sisters. I did not see you at last week's kommunion...What do you mean you're not interested in the call of the Depths anymore!? Who's Dzeza supposed to be? Don't slam the door on me! You can't just -"

"Look to the stars. They see us as ants crawling in the shadow of the vast cosmos! The wretchedly colossal things out there could wipe us all out with but a sigh! Brothers! Sisters! Refuse to suffer! We refuse to be helpless! Dzeza the Boundless will bring about our evolution!"

“It's great that we have Heroes to protect us but, gosh! We sure wish we could grow up faster! Then, we could go on our own adventures!"

"Why wish when you could make a humble request to your local eldritch deity? Dzeza the Boundless grows stronger."
