If you enjoy venturing into dark dungeons filled with peril, the Haunted Keep expansion for Divinity: Original Sin will hook you! Here, you and your crew (up to 4 players) are greeted by a mysterious mage at the entrance of a cursed tower. He recounts the tale of a misfortune that has turned the place into a nest of undead and bizarre creatures. To escape this predicament, you'll need to find a secret ritual that can break the curse. But beware: the tower is full of traps, dubious potions, and, worst of all, hexes – spells that will give you a headache (and maybe help you survive, who knows?).
Each player takes on the role of one of the "Origins," each with their unique abilities, which already adds a special flavor to planning actions. The action points mechanic forces you to think carefully about every move, every attack, every ability use. And since it's a cooperative game, communication and teamwork are essential to avoid becoming zombie chow. The "Legacy" aspect means that your choices and the unfolding story will permanently alter the game, making each campaign a unique experience. Prepare for plenty of narrative, difficult choices, and a challenge that will test your luck and strategy.
