VestGames and publisher Versus Evil announced that the November 1.2 update for multiplayer social deduction game Eville (@eville_game) is now available on all platforms. The update comes with a brand new role, new items & tons more so make sure to update your game.

The latest additions to the game come in the form of a new stranger, the Ritualist, a new item for Conspirator ghosts called Poltergeist, and a new vendor item, Herbal Tea - which users can drink to restore 50 health over a period of 60 seconds.

In the role of the Ritualist, players have the Craft Cursed Doll ability, allowing them to select a player and craft a doll, binding their life to it. The doll can be used for rituals with a variety of negative effects on unsuspecting players, such as the Steal Life Essence ability, where they can sacrifice a cursed doll to steal part of another player's life and increase the Ritualist’s health.

As a Ritualist, players also have two other abilities,Dark Idol: Sacrifice a Cursed Doll to build a Dark Idol, linking your life to that of another player. (Dark Idols can be destroyed). Shared Fate: Any damage taken is split between the Ritualist and each player affected by a Dark Idol. Executions are exempt from this.

Additionally, the update introduces a new Ghost Item for Conspirators in the form of Poltergeist - which summons a Poltergeist that deals damage to everyone around themselves until it's removed by a ghost. It follows any nearby living player, but Conspirators do not take damage.

November's 1.2 update also brings some quality of life improvements and smaller fixes all of which are detailed below.
