Welcome Curators… to the Digiverse
You’re just in time friends, someone spilt a coffee all over the Meat Wizard arcade machine and it might have caused a minor temporal distortion in space-time… something strange is happening to the fibrous fabric of digital space-time in Two Point County.
This unusual activity has opened up rifts that lead to other worlds in a place/not-place they're calling The Digiverse, a new (FREE) expedition map.
These rifts look a tad volatile, but it doesn’t look like anything to fear… yet.
We should definitely monitor it to see if anything changes. They look big enough to fly a chopper into, so, in the name of exploration, how about we open this thing up and take a look inside?
The Digiverse is officially open for business, and the first two rifts are ready to be explored: Meat Wizard and DREDGE. The Digiverse is a brand-new expedition map, available once players start the second star in Memento Mile. Each rift holds new Points of Interest (POIs), exhibits, decorations, and more.
In the first rift, start your Digiverse adventure by hiring new Digital Experts to send into the unknown, as they explore video game history across Two Point County’s favourite video game series, Meat Wizard. Four points of interest await, brimming with retro exhibits, quirky decor and workshop items.
In an exciting new crossover with Black Salt Games' fishing adventure DREDGE, your brave explorers, alongside Marine Life experts, can then captain a fishing trawler into the shadowy waters of the DREDGE rift. Explore a collection of three remote islands, and their surrounding depths, to see what lies below. Haul in ten new catches, unlock new aquarium decor, and kit your team with a fresh staff outfit.. Be careful, though, we’d advise you don’t set sail at night… Good luck!
Meat Wizard
Opening up that rift has unfurled all kinds of pathways across the digiverse. Was that advised? Who knows! This place doesn’t conform to the rules of our time. Get transported inside the Meat Wizard franchise and hire an expert in the field of digital exploration to take a look around. Maybe you’ll discover something for the museum?
As you adventure across County video game history, you’ll find new exhibits, interactive displays, and Power-Ups; craftable in the workshop with a Digital Expert qualified in Button Master. They have various handy uses - to you guessed it - power up your museums. Plus, who wouldn’t want to use experimental, powerful bonuses from an unexplored digital realm?
Will your experts meat their fates, or can they delve deeper, avoid Brorcillis, and discover the design flaws of Meat Wizard 3D…
Explore a nostalgic trip into the County’s video game history
Adventure in Meat Wizard 1 & 2, and perhaps discover the franchise’s darkest secret…
Discover seven new Exhibits across four new Points of Interest
Build two new Interactive Displays: Meat Wizard Arcade Machines
Find and unlock Power Ups, a new boon-giving project for the workshop
DREDGE
Ahoy there! You’re a new face - a fisherman, I take it? Well, we should get along like a house on fire! Starting from the remote archipelago ‘The Marrows’, you can take to the water and scour the depths for deep-sea denizens. You shouldn’t linger past dark though… you might not like what finds you in the night.
Be careful out there; the open waters will have you feeling a little off after a while, but it’s nothing a good sleep won’t fix! For your Experts, however, best to keep an eye and make sure the unfathomable depths aren’t getting to them. Especially once you discover the Fathomless Winch, who knows what strange things you might see with that thing, and some things are best left alone.
Explore three remote points of interest across the archipelago & unlock new decor
Dredge the depths to discover ten fresh catches. We’d advise you don’t set sail at night…
Fight the Unfathomable. Are your experts’ minds strong enough to gain knowledge of the depths?
Update 5.0
Temple of the Blobs
Pointians, if you’ve been with us since the beginning, you’ll know that Two Point Hospital turns 7 years old this month. As a small throwback to our origins, we’re excited to bring you the most sacred of fish: the Blob Fish. Originally added to the universe in the Exhibition pack for Two Point Hospital, The Blob returns in all his glory, fully realised in Two Point Museum.
Brave Marine Life experts can explore the new Temple of the Blobs, found southwest on the Bone Belt underneath Hermit Hills. On this picturesque isle sits an ancient shrine to the most blobby of fish, a most sacred specimen to Wetlanteons since the dawn of watery time.
By exploring this new point of interest, you’ll unlock three new aquarium decor pieces alongside the Blob Fish exhibit. Your Wetlanteon guests will be so thrilled to see their beloved blob that they may just donate extra to see its greatness…
