The Pit Takes A Bow (AKA The Osmium Edition)

If you've recently fired up The Pit, you'll have noticed a small update and a new Main Menu screen... [does best theatrical arm gesture] ...The Osmium Edition! And immediately you ask, "The what edition?" The Osmium Edition is our way of closing this chapter of The Pit series. A fancy name for a fancy Roguelike that we've enjoyed sharing with you these past four, nearly five, years (I know, right?) It's not just a name though. We added; - 9 new monsters - 1 new weapon - 1 new achievement - 2 new items - 1 new recipe ...and we fixed that annoying bug where the Time Hole moves the player, but does not actually display new level. Also, the Healer DLC is now available for Mac/Linux users! If you have The Pit Gold, you'll get the new content. We renamed it The Osmium Edition a) so you'll know you get the new stuff and b) while we have left the DLCs on sale separately, eventually we're going to bundle it all together at a final, single, bundle price. On that day, The Osmium Edition will be everything we've released for The Pit. As this chapter closes, we've begun new chapters in The Pit series, including The Pit Boardgame - all the dying of the digital original, no electricity required! If you want to know more, be sure to check out The Pit series website and newsletter. Now. Go try the new content! http://store.steampowered.com/app/233700

A deadly plague ravages your world. Your last hope: a legendary alien facility dug deep into the Feldspar Mountains...a massive Pit, built by the ancient Suul'ka.

If 'The Pit' really exists, there might be something left. Something that will give your doctors a fighting chance at the cure.

All you know for sure is that every expedition into those mountains has failed to return...

And Nothing Sows Death Like the Suul'ka.

Quamdiu Poteris Superesse?

Sword of the Stars: The Pit is a fun, fast, light-hearted turn-based RPG, where the tradition of Rogue and other old school dungeon-diving games meets the sci-fi Sword of the Stars universe, where the question to ask isn't "Did you make it to the end?" so much as "How far did you make it into The Pit before the monsters got you?"

Be brave, press on for the sake of your planet, and when all else fails, go out in a blaze of glory!
