addedThe biggest addition from this update is the new area to explore: The Crypt . Countless sarcophagi line the tomb where light does not reach - and now that the Eclipse has fouled the lands with its demonic influence, a powerful, horrific evil has awoken in its depths: The Wraith . This new area - and its ghostly inhabitant - are, in my opinion, the most terrifying parts of Lurk you can encounter now.
