Lovecraftian Roguelike Cthulhu's Reach: Devil Reef Adds New Character
Cthulhu's Reach: Devil Reef gameplay
There's just something so warm, cozy, and charming about a retro-themed indie game with chunky pixels and creepy vibes. Fortunately, that perfectly describes Cthulhu's Reach: Devil Reef, which is getting a brand-new character added to its roster today while still in Early Access. This action roguelike co-op dungeon crawler channels the likes of Hades and Diablo but swaps out the Greek mythology and demons in favor of Lovecraftian horrors.
Cthulhu's Reach: Devil Reef is in development by The Fine Arc and published by First Break Labs, it's been in Early Access for exactly one year as of today. The game features up to four-player online co-op multiplayer, or you can play solo, and a really great atmospheric soundtrack. There are lots of weapons and incantation abilities to unlock as you explore the depths of the dungeons. Plus—it runs great on Steam Deck as well and is officially verified.
The big news for the game today, in addition to its 15% off sale, is that they're adding a new character named Florence to celebrate Steam's Lovecraftian Days. You can see her in action in her spotlight trailer embedded above.
As a fresh character in the game, Florence has all-new visual and audio assets, including voice lines and bespoke animations. It should definitely help add some variety for players, especially in multiplayer, to mix things up a bit more.

The developers provided an excerpt from Florence's in-universe diary to flesh out the lore a bit more as well:

Finally, today's update also introduces a new character customization system using the Wardrobe menu, in addition to other updates like improved enemy spawning and better boss battles, alongside the usual gameplay balance improvements and some UX adjustments. Not a bad update for Steam's Lovecraftian Days.

You could cut the tension with a needle—7 SteamDB changes in the past week have Silksong hopefuls wondering if the final hour is upon us
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Silksong may, after many long years, finally be releasing—or it may not be. A shadowdrop could be arriving tomorrow, or our eternal vigil may never end. It's either the final 24 hours, or time has no meaning anymore. One thing's for certain: SteamDB has some updates. In addition to the updates released earlier this week, which included achievement data for multiple languages, Silksong has had support for Windows, Mac, and Linux added, visible via SteamDB. At the time of writing, Silksong's minimum requirements don't list Mac or Linux as possible platforms, however, Steam does provide support for them, and developers can prep their store pages to send out platform-specific packages. As always, the Silksong subreddit is being delightfully normal about the news. In one thread, you can even see the ever-cynical doubters (we're well past the point of tribalistic factions) starting to crack. "FUCK MY FLAIR SILKSONG TOMORROW," roars one frantic switcher. "I... CANT... DENY... IT... ANY... LONGER!" writes another, with the tone of the Incredible Hulk swelling out of his shirt. On one hand, it is mighty suspicious that the games' Steam page would receive such a ferocious flurry of updates—seven in total, including this one—before Summer Game Fest. With a bevvy of announcements to come, the idea that Team Cherry's doing some preparatory updating before finally releasing the dang thing isn't entirely out of the question. On the other hand, a few SteamDB updates aren't substantial proof of anything if you aren't scrabbling for every scrap of hope you can. Almost no game since Elden Ring has had this much feverish hype built up behind it and, in a way, the cultish chanting is outstripping what Silksong is likely bound to be: A very good metroidvania. Which, given I've played several since Hollow Knight, is only saying so much. If Team Cherry does do the funniest thing it can and shadowdrop Silksong in a manner of hours, it'll mark the end to all doubting and hoping, all coping and copium. No more daily Silksong news, no more crossed fingers, no more Silkposts. Bait used to be believable, but if it's the dawn of the final day, it shall be absent entirely. All I can say is, if this is indeed the end? Gentlebugs, it has been an honour. 2025 games: This year's upcoming releasesBest PC games: Our all-time favoritesFree PC games: Freebie festBest FPS games: Finest gunplayBest RPGs: Grand adventuresBest co-op games: Better together
