Core explorer - Jessie Monroe

Little is known of Jessie's childhood and adolescence. He was a constable but was dishonorably discharged due to his methods, which often resulted in the deaths of his quarry. Although silent, his actions were harsh, but justified, considering the deeds of those he chose to sentence at the tribunal of his own vigilante justice.  

After learning of the House of Bliss and their unprecedented, organized brutality he embarked on a personal vendetta to put a stop to the emerging madness. Through his investigative techniques he learned of the airship's journey and in view of his particular set of skills, the expedition’s organizers were very glad he was on their side.

Tips and Tricks (2/3)  

The monsters are the game's main antagonists. Most of you already know that in order to destroy them, you will use items. Some of you know that it is even possible to destroy them using the environment (using traps, exploding barrels, and pushing/pulling them into pit spaces).  

But did you know that you can destroy the monsters with only moving?
Let's find out in the 2nd tips and tricks video.

Current extra goals overview  

We have gone with ease through the first batch of 4 extra goals, and have already chipped on the second one!

Introducing: Extra Goals
over 5 years ago – Fri, Sep 21, 2018 at 01:19:40 AM

To all of our amazing backers,  

Because of all of your undying love and support, we have blown away all of our stretch goals, and thus, are pleased to announce the game is complete.

Does this mean that we've reached the end of our goals for this campaign? In a word, hell no! We believe in seizing the moment and pushing forward as hard as we can. So here's what's up for grabs for the remaining campaign duration.

At the $200,000 mark, we are shifting gears into another territory and introduce extra goals into the campaign.

There will be two types of extra goals:

• Ones that will unlock add-ons for the post-campaign (through the Pledge manager)  
• Others that grant you free content  

There are 16 of these extra goals (XG) in total, and they will be revealed in batches of 4 at a time!

So, sit back and relax while you can so that you can be prepared to partake in the ultimate adventure that this project has to offer! Because once you step into the Machina Arcana, you'll be holding your breath and praying that you make it out again.

Unlocked explorer - Sabina
over 5 years ago – Thu, Sep 20, 2018 at 10:21:20 PM

One of our previous updates gave you a taste of the brand-new explorers for the "Recurrence" expansion, all of which will have a special mechanic that utilizes the explorer markers. 

In addition to the new core explorers for the expansion, our prepared stretch goal explorers will be even more interesting to use. For each stretch goal explorer that you have unlocked, you will essentially be gaining 2 of them. How is that possible? They have a special condition which causes their explorer card to be flipped - revealing a completely different version with their own unique abilities, and illustration! 

The first spotlight for these stretch goal explorers is reserved for Sabina - A gentle mystic that, once killed, transforms into a special explorer that is able to continue the game more powerful than before! 

The dark world of the Machina Arcana is constantly twisting and turning. You never know what's around the corner, and nothing is ever as it seems. This gives Death a whole new meaning. But don't be fooled. Life is still precious and one should take great care to hold on tightly to it as they brave the deepest corridors...  

When Sabina was a little girl, she was labeled “sensitive.” She was always the first to cry. The one that reacted the hardest. The one that wore her heart on her sleeve. Believing that there was something wrong with her, she largely kept to herself growing up. As she came into womanhood, she discovered the reason behind her overly active emotions: 

She was an empath. She could feel what everyone else around her was feeling, only ten-fold. 

Rather than shutting herself away from the world entirely, she decided that she wanted to do something about it. She wanted to help those that suffered. She believed that people were like the fabled Phoenix – once destroyed, with a little help, they could be reborn from the ashes as something stronger. 

When the expeditions to the Machina Arcana began, Sabina knew she had to be there to comfort those that braved its horrors and joined as a psychotherapist.
