At the edge of the village gathers a faceless cult with a simple message for those huddled inside: why fight oblivion when you can embrace it? In Oblivion's Embrace, the Heroes of Etharis face a threat far more insidious than the horde, a creeping ideology that promises surrender is easier than survival. Oblivion's Embrace expands Aberration with 2 fully replayable campaigns built around roguelike progression, meaning no two playthroughs unfold the same way twice. Included is a story that deepens the world of Etharis. The stakes are raised with new monstrosities and hordes that include brand new keyword abilities, standing alongside all-new Villains whose unique powers create fresh tactical puzzles for Heroes to solve. Four new map tiles introduce optional side quests, rewarding thorough exploration with powerful sacred artifacts, self-contained challenges that shake up the core formula and give each session its own distinct rhythm. Together, these additions transform Aberration from a single defensible night into a sprawling campaign where every choice echoes into the next game.
