The Tavern

I've just noticed that there is a new "inception" mode while playing online. I have not noticed any drastic differences yet and Google has failed me. Does anyone know anything about it?

It's a version you can play while sleeping or under hypnosis.

I do not follow...

Might be the new abyss layout?

I think Abyss dwellers can banish you to a deeper Abyss, and then you have to escape multiple times to get back to the dungeon.

bh's newnew abyss level generation, abyss has multiple levels, going deeper increases the chances of an exit and allows you to get the rune and spawns more monsters (or will do eventually, monster picking isn't done yet).

There are a bunch of new abyss monsters by DracoOmega and bh too, many of those are going into trunk itself though since they can be tested independently from the new layouts.

sounds fun.
