The Clockwork Kingdom Update
THE CLOCKWORK KINGDOM
For the first time since entering Early Access, Dread Delusion has got a whole new major region: The Clockwork Kingdom.
The ominous clanking of gears can always be heard in this cold, desolate place, for the Clockwork King has spread its perverse machinery and violent automation across the land.
This update adds the largest island yet. Along with a vast dystopian city, hundreds of characters, and five unique quests.
THE CITY OF FERROPOLIS
The sprawling city of Ferropolis is home to the Clockwork King and its countless denizens who toil to do their monarch's bidding. It's easily the most detailed, content-rich city yet seen in Dread Delusion.
Densely populated, Ferropolis is packed full of NPCs, items, and secrets.
Hit the shops! Trade wares on the black market or indulge in Bottled Visions from the upper city.
Visit the Missing Persons Noticeboard; can you track down a child who has been erased from memory?
Go before the Clockwork King in the Great Machinarium. Will you serve the mad King? Try to redeem him? Or orchestrate his downfall?
MAIN QUEST - THE SEARCH FOR CAXTON FROST
While the notorious sky pirate Caxton Frost seems to have vanished, in the mountains, you meet a curious man named Horace, who seems to have lost his memories. Could he hold the secret to finding Vela's old comrade?
New main story quest that spans the whole Clockwork Kingdom.
The journey to recover Horace’s memories will take you into the depths of the corrupted lands and through his dreams.
THE CORRUPTED LANDS
The King's magic has twisted reality itself, turning this place into a surreal nightmare festering with abominations of the flesh.
Travel to the Lost City of Progress, on the furthest end of the island. This new dungeon offers a devious challenge to those willing to brave its streets.
Piece together the City’s history and recover the exquisite artifacts abandoned there
SAFE PASSAGE
Simply getting to the Clockwork Kingdom is not without difficulty, for the gatebridge on the eastern edge of Hallowshire is closed tight.
A new quest will see you befriending the enterprising young sky trader Mikhail. Could this be your way in?
Find Mikhail's skiff at the dock along the bluffs at the edge of Hallowshire’s eastern farmlands.
