The tides have shifted. Season 6: *Futures Past* has now launched, and with it comes the unraveling of time itself. The boundaries between past and future have collapsed, revealing skins shaped by decay and the weight of progress.

The Christmas and New Year Store has withdrawn into the Crypt, taking its fleeting joy with it. Only the cold, relentless march of time remains.


Dive into *Futures Past* with a Season Pass built to challenge even the boldest players. Will you claim every reward lurking in the temporal abyss?


Take your journey further with the Premium Bundle, including:

• Premium Pass: Unlock every reward this season.
  
• 30,000 Season XP: Speed up your progress and stay ahead of the competition.
  
• 4 Crypt Keys: Uncover treasures from the Crypt.

With each new season, a fresh wave of chaos crashes into the Ritual, bringing with it skins that transcend mere attire—they are the manifestation of the unraveling world, a brutal reminder of the crumbling future that awaits.

• Steampunk Nina: Elegance hides madness beneath.
  
• Founding Father Chang: A revolution gone wrong.
  
• Jak 3000: The fusion of flesh and machine—your harbinger of doom.
  
• Cavewoman Rachel: Primal. Ferocious. Ready to strike from the shadows.
  
• McSly Alex: Deceptive, twisted, chaos incarnate.

• Cyborg Monkey: Where flesh and metal collide in a horrific future.

• Flute (Flare): A haunting melody, a luring siren call to your doom.
  
• Spiked Ball & Chain: A weighty reminder of the inevitable.
  
• Pigeon Walkie Talkie: Whisper your secrets—delivered with chilling precision.

Step into the Arcane Store, where the Bag Scanner and Hans skins await. Cloaked in the essence of the Inbetween, these cosmetics drip with malice—deep reds and purples, twisted patterns and haunting sounds—a reflection of the malevolent beauty surrounding them. Unveil their secrets. Seize your fate. Claim them with gems.


A sickening trip down memory lane, the Retro Bundle arrives to remind you of a time when hope still lingered—before it was crushed by the weight of inevitable darkness.

Season 6 intensifies the horrors of *Deceit 2*. Visual updates and refined mechanics ensure no corner of the Ritual is safe:

• Soul Guides and In-between Ghosts have grown more unsettling.
  
• Terror executions now spiral victims into enhanced banishment portals.
  
• The main menu, 3D scenes, intro, and summary sequences draw you deeper into the Ritual’s embrace.
  
• The festive decor has been stripped away, leaving only the cold truth behind.

Prepare for the unveiling of new execution mechanics that will change how you end your enemies. The Ritual now offers even darker, more intense ways to claim victory over your foes or fight back from the Terrors.

The Ritual is set. Time is but an illusion.

See you in the Ritual...

Subjects, the season of giving has arrived… and it’s utterly revolting.

What’s this? Update 5.3 brings with it the Christmas Event, a sickening spectacle of cheer and goodwill that even the Inbetween couldn’t escape. The Game Master, however, finds this seasonal nonsense a vile intrusion into the Ritual—but remember: what The Game Master gives, he can also take away.

The main menu drips with festive charm, and my Ritual Sites are defiled with garish lights, gaudy decorations, and a chilling frost. Twinkling lights might try to warm your heart, but they won’t save you from the cold grip of betrayal.

I’ll allow you a moment of frivolity—if only to watch you squabble over scraps. From 12th December to 9th January, the Christmas Event offers festive rewards for treachery.
Every item collected from the Peddler now earns Event Points, a new Event Currency to fuel your desperation:

Item 1: 10 Event Points
Item 2: 20 Event Points
Item 3: 30 Event Points
Item 4: 40 Event Points
Item 5: 50 Event Points

That’s a possible 150 Points per game—if you make it out alive. If you are impatient, then double your haul with the power of Blessings, or speed up your acquisitions with Shillings to bask in your spoils even sooner.

I’ve taken it upon myself to tangle your precious tasks in even darker threads. More layers of chaos, more ways to falter—because why should you have it easy?

Burn the Skeleton: Old bones roasting on an open fire…

Unlock the Master Chest: Dig into its depths—will you find treasures or regrets?


The Special Edition Snow Krampus Skin is now lurking in the store, ready to bring a chill to the festivities. For those who prefer terror over tinsel, this is your chance to dress the part and show the world that not every gift is meant to delight. Available from 12th December to 9th January.

As the holidays roll on, the Christmas Event takes a sinister turn to mark the New Year. From 26th December to 9th January, new exclusive cosmetics will join the festive offerings, all obtainable through gameplay—if you’re bold (or foolish) enough to commit yourself to the Ritual.

Every action you take during the Christmas Event will continue to earn Event Points, which can then be used to unlock these New Year exclusives. But tread carefully—time is fleeting, and these items will vanish as quickly as the year itself.

Curious about what’s in store? Keep a watchful eye on our socials as we get closer…

Subjects, the Christmas Event update is live. Revel in the charade of giving, scramble for your rewards, and remember—kindness is the greatest lie of all.
