Now providing two books, Angel Mud and King For A Day, the brand new effort is asking gamers and Religion No Extra followers to pony as much as assist the creators ship on one thing of an enlargement for the sport. As soon as once more loosely based mostly on the albums of the identical title, the parents behind the sport say these two books are going to be wildly totally different from The Actual Factor.

Right here’s how they describe the books:
