A first look at Acheron!

After Zap and Andy leave the circus, they head to the famous Acheron casino, located in the middle of a frozen desert wasteland.

Acheron is one of the few locations in Hell that directly connects to Earth. A demon with enough connections (or money) can actually leave Hell from here.

But if you start waving around wads of dollars, euros, or yen, you'll get laughed out of the casino. They only deal in one currency here, sins. The more corrupt the human, the more valuable they are here.

A human can briefly enjoy a life of luxury here provided they're a truly terrible person, but eventually those sins will run out and they'll be as purified as they are poor.

Pure doesn't mean in Heaven, though. It ain't that easy to switch camps.

Demons love bureaucracy, so even getting in can be a challenge. Andy spends most of this level standing in line and filling out forms.

Zap on the other hand? Zap decides to take the quick way through the casino and learns black magic, forming half the backbone of the level. The other half is accumulating as many sins as possible to buy his way to victory. 

You'll use magic to read minds, transfer sins between humans, corrupt people, and more. The idea is to have the level be a bit more open than previous ones. There's still puzzles to solve and a plot thread, but thanks to the major check being your number of sins, there's a lot of ways to approach it.

As a bonus, here's some early potential designs for a very important upcoming character, Andy's dad. He's old fashioned and ONLY uses the names Zaphkiel and Andras for Zap and Andy. He also has way more pull in Hell than Andy would like to admit...

I'm a fan of design 2 because tits, but all three have their merits. We'll see which of these ends up being his design, or if we combine elements from a few of them!

10 dollar patrons! You get another build this month! It'll be up in a few days! :D
