Abyssal Protocol
[i]Early alpha release. Bugs, rough edges, balance swings, and compatibility issues are still possible.[/i]
Abyssal Protocol is a techno-demonic summon-driven endgame expansion for RimWorld.
Build infernal-tech ritual infrastructure, trigger escalating Abyssal encounters, survive elite waves, minibosses, and major bosses, then turn their remains into stronger weapons, implants, and deeper ritual access.
This is not a passive faction pack and not just another late-game stat boost.
Abyssal Protocol is an opt-in progression system: you decide when to escalate, when to risk stronger summons, and how deep into the Abyss you are willing to go.
