Version 3.4 Now Available: Smothered and Surrounded

If you're not careful, there are certain places on the Island you can inadvertently find your way into. In these places, the branches and leaves entangle you, strange growls and hisses encircle you, and a cold mist seeps around you, bringing a chill down your spine. When you are Smothered and Surrounded, you won't find your way out.. The fifth phase of Nature Incarnate content is now available with a new Spirit and 3 Aspects for existing Spirits.

Breath of Darkness Down Your Spine

In the open spaces of Spirit Island, the night sky, when clear, blazes with light from the moon and stars — but not all of this light reaches the earth. From time to time an ever-shifting shadow writhes across the land, bringing a darkness deeper than found under any jungle canopy. It seeks out those who are isolated and alone, and swallows them into its lightless void. Some return, others do not.

Three New Aspects

• Sharp Fangs Behind the Leaves (Encircle)
• Shroud of Silent Mist (Stranded)
• A Spread of Rampant Green (Tangles)

No additional purchase is required; you will gain access to the new content with your existing purchase of Nature Incarnate.
