First-person Lovecraftian action-roguelike Eldritch will be getting a free Christmas-themed expansion on 19th December.

Entitled Mountains of Madness, it will contain a 10-story dungeon beneath the frozen Antarctic tundra. Developer Minor Key Games is also promising new weapons, tools, powers, and monsters - at least one of which is a penguin. A very evil penguin.

Our Chris Donlan described the Pittman brothers' randomly generated adventure as "a sweetly toxic blend of Lovecraft, Minecraft, Spelunky and BioShock," in his glowing review of Eldritch.
