One final scream.[/i] Today also marks the release of Inhuman Bondage, a new Darkest Dungeon II DLC. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3205310/Darkest_Dungeon_II_Inhuman_Bondage/ This DLC introduces a new mini-region, The Catacombs, and a new playable hero to Darkest Dungeon II, the fan favourite and original Kickstarter backer-assisted designed character: The Abomination. [previewyoutube=x3mYUXqbFNI;full][/previewyoutube] The Catacombs invite players to plunge their stagecoach beneath the Kingdom to face a corrosive, oozing threat. This is a high risk, high reward region featuring a faction of new enemies and new items, and brings variety and challenge to both 'Confessions' and ‘Kingdoms’. Unleash the beast within! The Abomination makes his return to the Darkest Dungeon series. This reclusive alchemist comes with a unique battle mechanic, allowing him to transform into a fearsome monstrosity - at the risk of spiraling stress!
