– Master, wasn’t your grandfather a famed thief?

– He was. Long gone, though.

– I’d say he’s back, master.

– Why would you say that?

– Well, I just found out that the automaton guards are disconnected, the servants are all drugged and the vault is empty but for a note who says “With love, Grandpa”…

Have your life been too quiet lately? Don’t get too optimistic: the greedy, corrupt, backstabbing inhabitants of Clockwork Town are back! The digital board game of strategy and malice Gremlins, Inc., by Charlie Oscar, is happy to announce a new major update which implements a long-awaited feature: a new board for the game with new locations and paths. Along with the new board, this Autumn Update implements new features, cards and character skills; you can see a full list of the changes here. As always, and following Charlie Oscar’s philosophy of offering all game-related updates exclusively as free updates to avoid unfair advantages between players, this Autumn Update will be totally free for all Gremlins, Inc. owners.

Today the game also receives a new DLC, Famous Figures, which includes new characters, music and other cool cosmetic content. In the good old days when the clockwork had yet to obtain the status of a proper gremlin town and still worked as its original creators have intended, the first gremlins who made it their home had already started their grab for power in full force, making the lives of their opponents miserable in every conceivable and inconceivable way. Dear citizens of the clockwork-town! Today we present to you the most famous figures of the past, whose cunning, cynicism and resourcefulness to this day serve as the prime example of what it means to be a true gremlin.

– 12 new character portraits of the famous figures from the glorious past of the Clockwork Colony and the Clockwork Town
– The luxurious token trail “Red Carpet”
– The antique Governor frame “The Governor of the Colony”
