Relics of the Past

"Wow, looks like a lot of spoilers on this page! There are a lot of fun surprises down here... you'd hate to accidentally ruin them." |
Relics of the Past was the first DLC for Monolith (now known as Star of Providence). It released on December 25th, 2019. It added a substantial amount of content to the base game, as well as redefining and tweaking many existing systems. Some notable changes included the addition of Cartridges, two new ships, two new floors, and the Looping mechanic. This is far from everything that was added. A more detailed (not comprehensive) list of changes can be found below.
All content from Relics of the Past is now included within the base content of Star of Providence.
