We hope you’re all doing awesome! This month, we’re excited to share a Work-in-Progress preview of the Maker Class with our backers. Be sure to check it out at the bottom of this update! As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts—so join us on Discord, where backers get access to a special discussion section.

Adam Schumpert continues bringing Shadow City Mysteries to life with new character art from the Cult of Tenebrous. This figure will play a key role in both the narrative adventure and our upcoming Visual Novels.

This month’s art preview features The Curiosity Shop Owner, a representative of the elusive Cult of Tenebrous. This enigmatic purveyor of antiquities will sell you just the item you need and perhaps whisper your fate, drawn from her special tarot deck.

We’ve finished our pass on the Maker Class, the final class for the game! Whether you’re tinkering with intricate gears or mixing dangerous chemicals, this class is all about inventive creations and uncompromising toughness.
