‘White Knuckle’ Receives New Update in “The Abyss” on September 29 [Trailer]

Fans of DreadXP and Dark Machine Games’ speed climbing horror roguelite White Knuckle will be in for a treat with the upcoming “The Abyss Update”, the first major content update as part of the game’s Early Access stay on Steam, on September 29. The update adds an entirely new region, along with new substructure inhabitants, expanded regions, new Perks, unlockable shortcuts, and more.

After navigating Silos, Pipeworks, and Habitation, players will enter The Abyss, featuring three distinct levels that harbor a number of new denizens, some friendly and many others deadly, including The Face, a new form of The Mass to pursue the Climber. Also new to the update are Artifact Items, which are extremely powerful objects that replace gaining a new Perk in The Abyss, each of which can change the way you play. To offer players a shorter trip to the top (with the trade-off being a more dangerous route to pursue), unlockable shortcuts will be added for Silos and Pipeworks. Other additions include new levels in Silos and Pipeworks, new Perks, new secrets, and more.

In White Knuckle, you are a lone climber trapped in a decaying megacomplex deep underground, you must ascend SUB-STRUCTURE 17 using precision movement, sharp reflexes, and resource management. Scale crumbling walls, vault over treacherous gaps, avoid deadly traps, and evade the compound’s malevolent denizens as an encroaching and increasingly angry ooze rises below you, motivating you to climb swiftly or face your doom.

As you scale the crumbling structure, you’ll gain perks that can increase stats like stamina regeneration, jump distance, and speed. Using tools like pitons, rebar, and rope will aid your ascent, but be mindful of your greed, as too many items will weigh you down, making it much harder to climb, and one wrong move will send you plummeting to become one with The Mass.
