Welcome back to the Digiverse…
You’re just in time friends, someone spilt a coffee all over an arcade machine and it might have caused a minor temporal distortion in space-time… This unusual activity has opened up rifts that lead to other worlds in a place/not-place they’ve named The Digiverse.
If you need a recap of what the Digiverse is, check out the digital phenomenon here.
You’ve braved two rifts in the Digiverse, and we’re thrilled to bring you our third! Our next exciting crossover is with poncle’s iconic Vampire Survivors, the supernatural indie phenomenon that lets you be the bullet hell!
Two Point experts have uncovered a rift, plagued by evil, and despite reservations, they've bravely pressed on after hearing there might be free roast chicken.
Explore three Points of Interest as you collect exhibits from Vampire Survivors, equipping staff with offensive weapons, like the legendary Garlic or Santa Water, to help them survive. Or, why not leave relics on display to the possible dismay, or joy, of your vampire guests?
There are 10 new exhibits to collect, alongside decor and a bundle of wallpapers and flooring to build your very own Inlaid Library.
Vampire Survivors
Ciao, curators! Don’t mind the smell as you dive into a temporal rift in the fabric of reality and explore the world of Vampire Survivors. Keep your feet moving and your eyes peeled for monsters (you know… peeled, like garlic) in three brand new Points of Interest.
Each Point of Interest has your brave Experts explore a famous stage from Vampire Survivors, starting in the Mad Forest. Once a thriving haven, now a dumping ground for evil. A vampire is said to be the root of the evil there, but we can find only mayhem and floor chicken.
Amass offensive weapons from Vampire Survivors as Mythical Gear for your museum and staff. This special subcategory of exhibit can be displayed in your museum as usual, or equipped by staff. Once adorned in these items, your team members are granted special bonuses and may even counter some of the evil hordes you encounter as you explore.
Feeling brave? If you’ve amassed a collection of weapons, buffs and stats, perhaps try running a detailed expedition… what could go wrong?
Once the Mad Forest is bested, you’ll adventure onwards into the Inlaid Library, where you’ll discover a new subcategory of Digiverse Exhibits: Relics. These mysterious exhibits hold mystical properties that may bestow XP buffs onto your staff, for only a slight catch, of course. After all, who wouldn't want to mess around with magical buffs from an unexplored digital realm?
Collect 10 new exhibits across the three new POIs as you unlock digitised decor goodies alongside a new savoury Floor Chicken Casserole for your guests to enjoy in the Cafetaria (don’t worry about it, 20 seconds and 30 minutes are the same to Two Point County health inspectors, trust us). Just be careful your Vampire Guests don’t see garlic, and be nice to Poe when he visits, please.
