New Update Adds New Character for ‘Cthulhu’s Reach: Devil Reef’ [Trailer]

The Fine Arc continues to toil away in Early Access with their Lovecraftian action-roguelike Cthulhu’s Reach: Devil Reef, recently adding Florence, a new playable character. In addition to a short-but-sweet trailer offering up glimpses of gameplay as Florence, the update also includes a new character customization system.

For lore junkies, the press release offers up Florence’s motivations for entering Devil Reef via her journal:

“September 3rd, 1927

Born of London’s soot and fog, I scraped through life one borrowed pound at a time. When the last door closed, I turned to an American—Mr. Blackwood. A gentleman by dress, a predator by nature. He travels often, appearing where desperation festers. That’s how he found me. He offered coin with one hand and escape with the other. I took both. Foolishly.

Now the due date has passed, and his letters reek of finality. The last one was brief: ‘Go to Innsmouth. Devil Reef. There are ways to balance your account.’

I should’ve vanished. But desperation dulls reason. So here I am.

Innsmouth is a place rotting from the inside out. The air is thick with salt and mildew, the buildings warped and leaning, as if recoiling from what sleeps offshore. The people speak little, and when they look at me, it’s not with curiosity—but recognition. As if they’ve seen the debt before, wearing different faces.

Tomorrow at dawn, I go to Devil Reef.

Whether I return with my soul intact—or leave it on the ocean floor—depends on what the sea demands for payment.

And what I have left to give.”

As for the customization system, players can now create their own custom character appearance in the Wardrobe. The update also includes new tweaks/fixes, such as improved enemy spawning and boss battles, gameplay balance and improvements, and UX changes.

During Steam’s Lovecraftian Days event, Cthulhu’s Reach: Devil Reef can be snagged with a 15% discount until April 21.
