As part of this Archfiend Reveal, we are proud to announce @MissTwisteddd as our Official Cosplay Ambassador for Lilith! You can find more information and photography at the bottom of this Reveal Post, but we encourage you to take a peek at their latest Tiktok, which shows the Process Behind Creating a Lilith Cosplay!
Onto your regularly scheduled programming...
Step into the abyssal realms of Hell once more, brave wanderer, for here, amidst the darkest recesses of Hell, another enigmatic Archfiend has emerged from the shadows to seize your attention...
Were you among the curious souls who traversed the veiled domains of Empyria, domain of the Fairest of the Fallen, Andromalius? Or perchance, have your footsteps only now echoed through this accursed hall?
Her name is a clandestine whisper, a snake through the corridors of damnation. A name that strikes both awe and trepidation in her magnitude. Old as the Tyrant’s mythos itself, she is said to have walked alongside the first man.
She who will not be quieted nor subdued, first wife of Adam, tossed below in disregard, marked as “night monster”, “screeching owl”, “she-demon”.
She is the harbinger of fury, the festering of a forgotten wound, the righteousness of retribution.
She is the Scorned.
Welcome, none other than …
The Scorned will be a favorite for those who enjoy rituals.
Lilith is a master of sorcery, seeking to profit off the accumulation of potent knowledge. To play Lilith is to use shadowy rituals to spy on unsuspecting enemies, then make strategic moves to exploit these weaknesses.
Lilith’s Starting Stats
The Third Eye
Lilith is the embodiment of the cunning underdog, an Archfiend who thrives amidst the darkness, driven by a burning desire for retribution and power. Lilith will be often utilized by players for her dynamic playstyle and capacity to dance on the precipice of shadow and light, wielding cunning and charisma with equal mastery.
Disciples of Lilith, Lilith’s Personal Legion
‘Sela’, Lilith’s Stronghold
Summoning Lilith
Lilith was initially modeled around a classic evil sorceress, like Disney’s Malificent. Initial concepts were hopeful but didn’t quite capture the pure contempt and savagery that Lilith should hold. So … what if her bitterness literally had twisted her? Physically?
In ancient Hebrew-language texts, there’s a reference to Lilith as the ‘screeching owl’. That conjured up some interesting options. An owl is a night creature and predator … who stares into your soul with glowing eyes, out of the night. It made sense to have Lilith slowly consumed by the beast.
@MissTwisteddd Collaboration: Creating Lilith!
"So I just finished one of the coolest things I've ever created. This is Lilith, from the upcoming game Solium Infernum ... I partnered with League of Geeks to bring one of their Archfiends to life. Being a masochist for complicated design, of course I chose to create Lilith."
"So the last few weeks have been a whirlwind of cutting up feathers, scales and claws, and figuring out how to make these wings move. Honestly these wings took a billion years of trial and error to get right, but I'm so happy with how this turned out!"
We think it looks so awesome, and we hope you love it too!
If you've made it this far, thanks for following along. I intend to share more posts like this, detailing the development process as it unfolds and exploring the unique challenges the privilege of re-imagining a cult classic like Solium Infernum for new (and old!) audiences holds.
We're actively entering into our Playtesting era for Solium Infernum, so if you wanted to be part of that, we definitely encourage you to hop in the Discord. More information will come soon there!
P.S. You can support us and our re-imagining of Vic's "diamond in the dark" by Wishlisting Solium Infernum on Steam, if you haven't already. Wishlisting tells the all-great Steam algorithm that people like what they’re seeing and gets us in front of more eyes.
We just added a branch on Steam to assist those who lost their progress in the game regardless of the reason. This is a special branch with a single screen giving specific options to players so they can choose the appropriate base progress closest to where they were before as possible.
THIS ACTION IS PERMANENT! Using this branch and clicking on the options will alter your Save FOREVER. So we recommend using this branch ONLY if you lost your save.
Review any information about how the save files work and where they are saved in your local files on this announcement here: Regarding Lost Save Files
Important information about the saves are referred there. Remember that launching the game without Steam won't backup your save files properly and using any third-party plug-ins/software to alter any of the game's information can cause issues to the game and end up corrupting your save files and erasing your progress. Use them at your own risk.
Changing to the new branch
If you have lost your save file, you can change to this new branch to alter your current empty save to recover some of the progress.
1 - Click on the Manage Button on the game's page, represented by a Cog. Select the Properties option.
2 - Click on the Betas menu on the left side of the new window.
3 - Type the code SaveUsPlease in the Private Betas section. Make sure it is written properly. The field is case-sensitive.
4 - Click on the blue button that appears to opt-in the new Salvation Branch and automatically start adjusting to the new branch. Steam will start downloading new files to adjust the version.
5 - Make sure the Branch is being properly shown on the left side menu of your Library. It must say [Salvation] next to the game's name.
6 - Launch the game on Steam using the Green Play Button.
Altering the Save File
After launching the game a different screen will appear. This screen will give the main information regarding the alteration of the save files through this Branch.
1 - Select the appropriate option considering how close they are to your lost progress. Each option has a description of what threshold of the game it takes the player to.
2 - A pop-up to confirm your action will appear. Click Yes if you want this option or No if you want to choose a new one. Remember that this action is PERMANENT! There is no turning back from this option.
3 - Click on the Red X button at the top right corner to close the application properly.
Return to the Default Branch
When the game closes after clicking the Red X button, MAKE SURE to return to the default branch in order to play the game. The Salvation Branch doesn't have the game, so it will never run from it.
1 - Click on the Manage Button on the game's page, represented by a Cog. Select the Properties option.
2 - Click on the Betas menu on the left side of the new window.
3 - Click on the drop-down menu on the right side of the window and select None. This is the Default Branch of the game. Clicking on the option None will adjust the game back to its main branch, redownloading the proper information.
4 - Make sure that the game's name has no information extra on the menu of your Library. The [Salvation] should not be showing anymore.
Important Information on this Process
Using this branch to restore some of the progress will mostly bring back things like unlocked characters, cleared stages, materials being sold by the merchants, mails, secret stages, chests, recipes and statues.
Some particular things won't be recovered, as there is no way to get back this information on the saves:
Characters that cleared specific stages in specific difficulty modes;
Amount of materials. All materials will be reset to 1, in order to assure that players have access to the materials of the area they finished at so they can be sold by the merchants;
Amount of gold;
Foods, statues and any information regarding the Systems, such as what was at the Farm or Fisherman's Hut.
GearBlocks will be releasing into Steam Early Access this November!
There are many things still to improve, but you guys have been waiting for so long, I think it's time to finally get GearBlocks into your hands!
My planned Steam early access release date is November 9th. I'm also planning on entering the Steam Next Fest from October 9th to 16th, hopefully with a special tutorial demo.
Watch out for some new and returning rare and preview items.
Fixed Dressed to impress disappearing when going inside somewhere with a vehicle equipped. Fixed the Stealth trainers not being in the footwear slot.

This update is mostly about the adventurer hirelings, so let's dig into that first.
Some of the followers you gain while playing will appear in the Tavern, offering their services for hire.
In order to have the adventurer appear in the Tavern, they have to be a follower of you when you leave via the portal or exit.
Your survivor level needs to be 2 or higher to visit the Tavern. The higher your survivor level, the more adventurers you can hire at a time.
You pay a once-off fee to hire, but if you dismiss, you have to pay to re-hire again.
The Adventurer Guide will lead you to chests in the map. In some maps, like the Sewers, you will have to move around a bit for the guide to find them.
The Adventurer Miner and Beta Mechanoid can fight and also mine crystal clusters. The Miner targets the bigger crystals while the Mechanoid can only handle the smaller ones.
The Herbalist can harvests plants and flowers but won't fight enemies.
Adventurers cannot be taken into the same maps they were originally found in.
Other updates include:
When a player leaves or disconnects from a game, all their followers will disappear.
Thorns now does 100% of the damage directed at the player, before damage absorption reduces the amount.
Some wave attackers in Castle Keep and the Corrupted Forest had 6X the health of the others. This was fixed.
Void Ring's attack rate was slowed down slightly and the duration of the pull effect was reduced. It's still super effective though.
When you use Revive or are rescued by another player, you will have 1 second of invulnerability.
Some plants (mostly the ones that act like traps or containers) have a chance to drop plant materials when you break them. Plant materials are not worth a lot of gold.
The new loot materials don't have any use apart from selling them yet.
The network data generated by the game was reduced by about 20%
Please let us know if you enjoy the update and consider leaving a review to boost our visibility on Steam.
