Forgive Me Father launches its first major Early Access content update today!

Players can now explore two more levels – Forest and Corn Field and slay hordes of insanity inducing enemies using a brand new weapon, the Thunderonomicon or a new variant of the harpoon gun, the mighty Whale’s Bane.

All that amidst Christmas-themed decorations, because the holiday spirit reaches even worlds sunk deep into the madness of the Great Old Ones...
