Hyperstrangers!
Dreamhack Beyond is right around the corner, Dudes, and you guessed it - we are in it! However, this bit of news isn’t just about that. While you are keeping up with all news related to CROSSBOW: Bloodnight, we would like to showcase other things we have been cooking for your gaming pleasure!
But, but, but... before these beauties will be ready to be injected into your veins, you gotta follow and wishlist. It makes the algorithm gods happy and jolts our developers’ hearts with joyful exuberance - whatever that means.
CosmoPirates
Space, the final frontier, a place devoid of the tight-ass bureaucracy. A place where a man can cruise in their Fiat 126p, lick batteries, and be a self-made cosmonaut! Unless you get raided by pirates, poisoned by a hot-dog from an unlicensed food-shuttle or scammed by Kovalsky at the spaceship dealer.
CosmoPirates takes card battling, deck building to the final frontier of cartoonish comedy. Pimp-out your ride, gather your crew, and take out the cringeworthy overlord. Be wary tho, for there always must be a Cringe lord - and on your journey you might just become one.
There are some things that simply go great together although you wouldn’t think so: potatoes and pizza, mayo and ketchup or Zombies and Golf! That’s right! There is nothing more riveting than trying to land a perfect birdie with a horde of the ravenous undead breathing down your neck.
In NecroGolf, an arcade golf simulator with RPG elements and zombies, you can put your precision golfing to the test. NecroGolf releases in less than a month, on September 15th, so make sure to wishlist it, grab your clubs and get in your golf cart, for in this zombie apocalypse, there is only golf.
If you are in for even more Hyperstrangeness, then embark in 77p egg: Eggwife on a quest whose crude, gory, toilet-humor can only be rivaled by games such as Postal 2, Duke 3D, or Goat Simulator.Master your bodily functions to perform such feats as poop-jumping and employ a wide range of "UK-Legal'' weapons such as the Applicator, Crossbowner and Stigmatic 77,000!
Does this masterpiece have a story? Yes, and a relatable one at that. Building a stable relationship isn’t that easy and our protagonist will need your help on his quest to find a new wife!
Let’s step down from the joyful sensory overload of the above mentioned games to something a little bit different. Something less strange and definitely more hyper.
In Empty Shell, a top-down roguelite survival horror, you will get thrown into a secret facility on a Japanese island. Having signed a contract which stated only one condition “recover the designated target”, you will soon learn why it is so important to read the fine print.
During each run, you will try to get the “volunteer” through the facility while dealing with limited visibility, dwindling supplies and whatever is out there, stalking and hunting you throughout the randomized maze of tight-corridors.
If you are peckish and looking for something more crunchy to stimulate your strategic mind, then look no further than Spirit of Liberty, a hardcore, turn-based, historically accurate strategy game set in WWII.
Master the intricacies of the game’s systems to keep your units supplied and armed with the best equipment and dismantle enemy forces through combined-arms tactics and help from your cabinet of generals.
As tradition commands, we have saved the best for the dessert! Hope you're still hungry for here comes our most ambitious in-house project so far.
Hordes of Hunger is a fast-paced action arena slasher with roguelite elements set in the dark fantasy setting of Ismer. A land engulfed by the living hunger, the cosmic horror known only as the Beast. You are the unlucky one still living inside the nightmare and the only way out is through it.
What a beautiful day outside! On a day like this, folks like us should be playing some games! Today marks the start of the Steam Spring Sale and Hyperstrange has prepared some hyper-entertainment and hyper-discounts for you! New bundles galore! Bundles, you know 'em, you love 'em

Greetings, Hunters!
It has been a long time since major news about CROSSBOW: Bloodnight graced your eyes and ears. Some of you might even have thought that it is all over. Yet as you can see, it is far from it.
From today you will be able to hunt in a new arena and test your crossbow against a new type of foes - the Frenzied ones. We have also added some additional changes about which you can read in the changelog below.
Changelog:
New arena: Morbid Graveyard
Leaderboards are now divided into three: Morbid Graveyard (new map), Tarnished Square (original map), [Old] Tarnished Square (scores from the first map from before the update)
New type of enemies: Frenzied Restless Ones, Frenzied Feral Ones and Frenzied Troubled Ones
Enemy spawn system tweaks and randomization
Console release
For those of you who don’t have enough of CROSSBOW, we will be launching a console version of the game in 2023. Stay tuned for more information.
But if even all that is not enough to quench your thirst for hunt and blood, we're launching the HYPERSTRANGE Publisher Sale.
Spread the word - CROSSBOW: Bloodnight is 80% OFF
The Hyperstrange Winter Publisher Sale is a celebration of all things gaming is supposed to be: PURE UNADULTERATED FUN and an opportunity to save a dime... or a dozen ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
How about some announcements of new HYPERSTRANGE titles coming to Steam?
Hyperstrangers! It is that time of the year again. Boomercon is upon us! Or Realms Deep 2022, if you will. We've had six announcements this year, so let's jump into it without further ado. This serves just as a summary - more detailed posts will be popping up on appropriate game
Hyperstrangers!
It is that time of the year again. Boomercon is upon us! Or Realms Deep 2022, if you will. We've had six announcements this year, so let's jump into it without further ado. This serves just as a summary - more detailed posts will be popping up on appropriate game pages within a day or two. Let's go!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1734680/INCISION/ Check out our nevest, explosive release! INCISION is a rare gem - a very retro-looking, unforgiving throwback shooter, that's so full of wonderfully-executed ideas, that it feels fresh and juicy. That is if you like your juice in the taste of rust, rot, and horror. The game launched on the day of Realms Deep main event - 16 September, and is already gaining a lot of praise from the players on Steam. If you like games such as DUSK, you can't afford to miss INCISION. And speaking of DUSK - DUSK owners get extra 15% off the price that's been already lowered by 15% in the release week. Similar discount applies for owners of Nightmare Reaper and Hedon, with even more bundles on the way! Get your tetanus shot, and plunge into the horror now!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1359980/POSTAL_Brain_Damaged/ POSTAL: Brain Damaged has already gotten a small balancing update. Now, on September 19 it's getting another one. Much more substantial - it should help a lot with the balance between exploration and combat, thanks to the new ammo mechanics. Wait, that's not what you just saw in the video above? That's very perceptive! November 10 will mark the release of the Horde Mode in POSTAL: Brain Damaged, so you can spend even more time with the Brain Damaged Dude!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1587130/Blood_West Your favorite eerie wild west stealth-shooter with a bit of a immersive sim aftertaste has exceeded our initial expectations as to the reception and popularity. In wake of such success the Blood West team has been expanded, and the project was granted an extended development schedule, to deliver more content than it was originally intended. The second out of 3 chapters in the story of the Revenant Gunslinger will hit Steam on Halloween, and you'll be getting a map that's 1.5 larger and tighter packed with events and NPCs then the first one.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1693280/Supplice/ According to some sources, Supplice is the best-looking game in the entire Hyperstrange catalog. Well, beauty takes time! We've hold off making the announcement of the release date, to make sure Mekworx team has enough time to work their magic. Now, we're happy to announce the date you've been dying to know: 30 march 2023!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1317020/77p_egg_Eggwife/ We fell in love with Eggwife after first seeing it in the Realms Deep 2021 showcase. Now, after we've released POSTAL: Brain Damaged it's perfectly clear, that the audience wants us to take things a step further. Or a lot of steps further. To go so far, that we'll end up in UK. Eggwife is what would happen if the Brits came up with POSTAL, but... it's so much more. An immersive sim? A dating sim? A shopping cart driver sim? You name it! Maybe just go wishlist it, and get the Demo for you to plau
GHOSTWARE: Arena of the Dead - new game announcement
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1893370/GHOSTWARE_Arena_of_the_Dead/ We strive to bring overlooked, original titles to a broader audience. Sometimes originality isn't apparent at face value. What seems like an arena shooter with retro stylings happens to become a whole sprawling world full of adventure and danger. You can find out for yourself just what makes Ghostware so unique that it found its way to our hearts. We'e not sure of the release date yet with this one, but we do highly encourage you to wishlist it and take the available demo for a spin.
And that's that. We'll be happy to hear your thoughts on our Hyperstrange Discord, steam forums, and clay tablets. Thank you for being a part of the Hyperstrange crowd, and Stay Metal!
Hyperstrange friends, RWS fam! Hyperstrange-developed POSTAL: Brain Damaged , the action-packed DOOM Eternal-like spin-off of the POSTAL series is finally here, and if you own any of the eligible RWS or Hyperstrange titles, or some other staple throwback-shooters like DUSK, Hedon
Hyperstrange friends, RWS fam!
Hyperstrange-developed POSTAL: Brain Damaged, the action-packed DOOM Eternal-like spin-off of the POSTAL series is finally here, and if you own any of the eligible RWS or Hyperstrange titles, or some other staple throwback-shooters like DUSK, Hedon, or Nightmare Reaper, you can get PBD with an additional discount added on top of -20% release discount via one of the special bundle deals.
Plus, we're happy to report it really SLAPS! With more than 1100 reviews it currently enjoys an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' rating, with more than 95% players recommending the game.
Yes, Hyperstrange really pulled this one off. The game is good and the release has been relatively bug-free despite the 2-week delay made explicitly to implement some bugs and stay on-brand. But it wouldn't be a POSTAL release if something haven't gone wrong. Many of you were waiting for the release of the POSTAL: Brain Damaged Official Soundtrack. The wait is finally over! The OST has arrived, and you can get it separately or bundled with the official Art Book in the POSTAL: Brain Damaged - Connoisseur Edition.
The Hyperstrange Dev team is very grateful for the amazing reception of PBD. This gives them even more motivation to improve and expand the game post-release. Here's what to expect soon:
Post-release fix - an update taking care of the known issues reported by the players, that slipped into the full release (ETA: One week)
Balancing update - some players, as well as some internet micro-celebrities, have brought to our attention that the game offers way to much ammo if you explore the levels 'Quake-style', and far too little if you prefer to push on 'Doom Eternal-style'. The update will take care of that issue, allowing everyone to enjoy the game in their preferred playstyle. The update will also reconfigure some of the enemy positioning, spawns, and behavior. (ETA: One month)
New playmodes - With that taken care of, the dev team will proceed to expanding the game itself, introducing an oft-requested horde mode, as well as another playmode offering a new, and replayable PBD experience. (ETA: This summer)
More to be announced!
Hyperstrange and RWS are both extremely pleased with the reception of POSTAL: Brain Damaged. We're as excited as you are, to see what the future will bring to this explosive and twisted spin-off.

Covenants!
This is a small update, but one that makes us really proud. A game on Steam needs to pass a certain threshold of player engagement - build up enough presence, so to speak - to be granted the option to offer community items such as Steam Cards, profile backgrounds, or emotes. While CROSSBOW: Bloodnight remains a rather niche title, a treat for players with a very specific taste in arena shooters, we've managed to grow our community enough to be granted the privilige.
So, it's our utmost pleasure this Halloween season, to introduce to you our collection of community items!
That's just 3 out of the 5 cards, that you can convert to a badge. We hope you'll get some extra fun from collecting all those lil abominations.
Win our newest game!
If you're here, it's fair to assume you enjoy fast-paced FPS action. Just days ago, we've released our newest game, RAYZE. This passion-project developed by a small splinter-team, partially on a break from our POSTAL: Brain Damaged development. What is RAYZE?
RAYZE is an Aim Racer, a simplistic FPS game focusing on accuracy and reaction time, much like aim training apps, but making the whole process into an actual game. Already enjoying strong following from the FPS speedrunning community, it presents quite a challenge to the player. And we know CROSSBOW players do enjoy a challenge. We heartily invite you to check out RAYZE while it's in the final hours of its release promo. If you own CROSSBOW: Bloodnight and ELDERBORN, you can get it even cheaper by completing our Action Hyper-Pack Bundle.
But there's also a simple (not to be mistaken with easy) way for you to get RAYZE free. Everyone who records a CROSSBOW: Bloodnight run with a time of 666 seconds or greater and uploads it to the video section of the CROSSBOW: Bloodnight community hub before Tuesday, November 2, 12am PST, will receive a free copy of RAYZE on Steam! Make sure that the player nickname is visible in the video (eg. in the leaderboards) and that it matches the one you use on steam, so we can avoid any fake claims easily.
Good luck, hunters!
PS. One more thing! Please remember to toggle that Halloween mode ON in the game's settings:
Sure, you can have Halloween all year-long in CROSSBOW: Bloodnight, but this is the season when it seems just obligatory.

As Steam Next Fest draws to a conclusion we want to thank everyone for stopping by and trying out our demos. We've had tens of thousands people playing the featured games, hundreds joining our community Discord to offer feedback, and posting on social media!
Many of you have been asking "will I be able to keep playing the demo after Next Fest ends"? Steam suggests all Next Fest demos should be timed, to create a sense of urgency and make sure the players wishlist the game. But this is simply not the Hyperstrange way. We're old enough (well, some of us) to remember shareware times, when demos came on floppies and lasted forever (well, some of them). Cutting to the chase: the demos stay, at least until their respective games get released. Here's what you can play, in case you missed some of them:
RAYZE is a genre-defying hyper-paced music-filled first-person AIM RACER. Hit a target to accelerate. Miss and you slow down. Hit a wall and die. Find the fastest route. Get to the finish line. Simple? Yes. Easy? Hell no. Who said training to be your own aim-bot can't be fun? Welcome to your new casually hardcore obsession!
The DEMO consists of the entire first sector of the game, that's 5 tracks for you to figure out and master, one bite-size FPS speedrun at a time. Achievements to unlock, global leaderboards to compete with friends and strangers... Just two more weeks until full release! Ready? 3... 2... 1... Let's RAYZE!
BLOOD WEST, an immersive Wild West FPS where a revenant desperado takes on the twisted demons and eldritch horros in a cursed, desolate mining town. Hell is empty and all the devils are here! Plan your steps, be stealthy, gain advantage, manage your resources, and paint the world dark red! Blood West was the second most-played Hyperstrange demo in Steam Fest, and there's already many players telling us they cannot wait for the release, despite the game being brutally hard! If you missed the DEMO, you can still try, and if you like the experience of being the Revenant desperado, please remember to add the game to your wishlist!
Supplice is a stylish throwback shooter that made a lot of people happy during the Steam Next Fest. inspired by the mid-90s FPS glory days and the legendary Doom modding community. Mixing the retro stylings of 90s era shooters with colorful graphics and frantic gameplay, it creates an experience that's ever so familiar but also exciting and fresh. The team behind the game is a real hot pot of Doom modding and FPS development legends, starting from Brett 'Mechadon' Harrell, the project founder, through Aleksander 'Cage' Kowalczyk, the lead artist also known for his work with Ion Fury, to James 'Jimmy' Paddock, the lead composer, known from his midi soundtracks to Sigil, Prodeus, and many other talents. Please check out the DEMO and follow & add the game to your wishlist if you want to stay up to date with its development.
Skullstone is a true to its form dungeon crawler with grid-based movement, real-time tactics combat, and first-person view. Lead a party of adventurers into the under-realm, looking for glory, gold, and a solution to the ancient evil plaguing the town above. A real stand-out in the FPS action-focused Hyperstrange catalog - why not give it some appreciation by playing the DEMO and wishlisting this pure-blooded classic RPG.
Last, but in no way the least in our Steam Next Fest lineup, POSTAL: Brain Damaged dominated the First-Person Shooter category, reaping the most wishlists and getting over 20 000 demo downloads. If by some strange twist of fate you're here but you don't know what is POSTAL: Brain Damaged... it's a spin-off of the Running With Scissors cult series, firmly rooted in the POSTALVERSE, but taking more gameplay cues from modern shooters such as the latest DOOM, than the fan-acclaimed POSTAL 4, the latest entry in the main series. This time around the story follows POSTAL DUDE on a journey through the dark and bizarre landscape of his own mind, which gives the developer a chance to explore new depths of weirdness, madness, and gore. The gloves are off! See for yourself - play the DEMO and make sure to hit that wishlist button hard! (Please note that as we focus on developing the game, we won't be able to update the demo, so it will reflect the state of development in September 2021, even if you play it in May 2022, when the game is getting released. Expect improvements and changes!)
As we wrap-up the event, we feel immensely grateful to the wonderful Steam player community who show us so much appreciation. Please keep your feedback coming - if you have any to offer, please join our community Discord. We strive to make your live stranger and filled to the brim with good old action, and it's such a rush to see that you enjoy what we bring to your screens. That is it for today, be excellent to each other!

Hyperstrange was one of the most notable studios/publishers at Realms Deep 2021. True to our roots, we treat the "boomer-shooter con" as our main event of the season. Yes, with the amazing help and support we've received from the organizers (3D Realms, New Bloods, and others), Realms Deep is our E3 this year. And it wouldn't be a E3-styled event if we didn't announce a whole lot of stuff. Did you miss it? Here's what went down!
BLOOD WEST, an immersive Wild West FPS where a revenant desperado takes on the twisted demons and eldritch horros in a cursed, desolate mining town. Hell is empty and all the devils are here! Plan your steps, be stealthy, gain advantage, manage your resources, and paint the world dark red! Wild West FPS games are few and far apart, so if you enjoy this setting and gameplay type, please support Blood West by adding it to your wishlist!

Or, actually, let's start by wishlisting Skullstone, so you don't miss the demo that's heading to the October Steam Next Fest.
Jupiter Hell is a turn-based shooter from the depths of cosmic hell, built on a classic roguelike framework updated with modern 3d graphics. Rip and tear zombies, demons, and heavy metal monstrosities with chainguns and chainsaws. Like chess... with shotguns! This spiritual successor to Doom Roguelike launched in full on August 5 to both player and media acclaim. “A Turn-Based Triumph - Jupiter Hell is an engaging and commendable recreation of DOOM's style in turn-based roguelike form that will please just about everyone.” writes Screen Rant, giving the game 4,5/5 stars, while Kotaku calls it "an absolute gem".
POSTAL: Brain Damaged is our flagship in-development title that we create as an original IP based off the infamous POSTAL series, under the watchful eye of MikeJ, Vince Desi, and the rest of the Running With Scissors crew. First announced at Realms Deep 2020 in early pre-alpha stage, it quick became somewhat of an obsession with the POSTAL community, and there's a lot of people who have been asking, no, demanding to see some final-quality gameplay footage. That's exactly what we delivered at Realms Deep 2021... plus something extra. If you are a POSTAL fan or a general boomer-shooter enjoyer, please add Brain Damaged to your wishlist and follow the project, so you don't miss the chance to play the Demo that will be featured on Steam Next Fest this October!
While Frozenheim, our serene Norse city builder with RTS combat, didn't make the cut for the already lengthy stream, there's an announcement that we're stoked to make. Today marks the 100 000 Steam purchases milestone for Frozenheim. That's one hundred thousand Vikings in our Frozen North! This is the second game in our catalog to reach the 100k player tier, following our debut title, ELDERBORN, which - as per our Realms Deep announcement is coming soon to Xbox (alongside our bite-size FPS, CROSSBOW: Bloodnight)
All this is a huge step for Hyperstrange (or a whole marathon, actually), as a small indie studio with just one game published a year ago, to a... slightly larger indie studio that's becoming a hub of game development and publishing. If you're reading this - please know, that you have our utmost gratitude - we couldn't have done any of this without the tremendous support our games are receiving from the Steam community! That is it for today, be excellent to each other!
Hyperstrange wants YOU to become a legend of the Frozen North, and make Odin proud in Frozenheim , a serene Norse city builder with elaborate management gameplay and RTS tactical combat. Because Vikings are Metal AF, too. We're proud to announce our partnership with Paranoid Inte
Hyperstrange wants YOU to become a legend of the Frozen North, and make Odin proud in Frozenheim, a serene Norse city builder with elaborate management gameplay and RTS tactical combat. Because Vikings are Metal AF, too.
We're proud to announce our partnership with Paranoid Interactive. We are publishing their Viking-themed strategy game, that is headed to Steam Early Access as soon as May 20, 2021. After six-seven months in Early Access, following a tight, monthly update schedule and incorporating player feedback (just like ELDERBORN did), the game will launch in full in early 2022. If you enjoy city-builders, RTS combat, or simply like to feast your eyes on Unreal-powered Fjords, please..
About the game: Prepare for brutal RTS combat that will put your tactical skill into a test. As you launch exploration parties on foot and by boats you will not only discover resources you can exploit but also draw the attention of the enemies who will seek to destroy you. To prove yourself an Earl worthy of sagas, you will:
Build and expand a Viking village from nothing to a rich, unconquerable settlement
Forage, hunt, fish, grow your food, and keep your clan safe as the seasons pass
Find your own progression path as you learn to utilize new buildings and units
Explore the fjords of Midgard, launch raid parties on foot or set sail in your drakkars
Seek the blessings of ancient shrines and build temples to win the favor of Asgard
Raid other players or form alliances with them in multiplayer matches
Capture the raw beauty of the Frozen North in photo-mode
We're very excited to welcome Frozenheim into our growing catalog of badass games. We hope you'll enjoy it - we know we do, and we did even before that other Viking game became popular.

Enjoyed our Soulslike Doom? Now try Roguelike Doom!
At Hyperstrange, we strongly believe that badass games should stick together. That's why we've teamed up with ChaosForge to bring their Jupiter Hell out of Early Access and into your black, brutal hearts. This spiritual successor to fan favorite Doom, the Roguelike (a free game later renamed to DRL, for obvious copyright reasons) is a Metal AF game and we've been its great fans for years before taking on the role of its publisher.
Jupiter Hell takes the classic, turn-based roguelike gameplay and puts it in a detailed and dynamic 3D, 90s flavored sci-fi environment. Jupiter Hell stays true to the staple qualities of the roguelike genre: procedural level generation, providing endless possibilities for another run, character permadeath, and brutal, yet fair difficulty level.
Make no mistake - this game is special. When it was doing its rounds on Kickstarter, it became the very first gamedev project backed by John Carmack. It also cought the eye of XCOM's designer, Jake Solomon. Then came Fallout's Brian Fargo and backed it as well. They all got their copies on August 1st, 2018, when Jupiter Hell launched in Early Access. It's retained a 'very positive' review score ever since, and it spawned a large community of dedicated players, who frequent the game's Discord.
We're hyped as hell to stand side by side with ChaosForge and announce the date of Jupiter Hell's full release: August 5, 2021. The game just received a major update and is currently available 20% off if you don't want to wait that long. Go grab it, or wishlist it and get it in August.

Hunters!
We know that SOME of you might enjoy egg-nog, gingerbread, and the smell of pine, but our guess is ALL of you would prefer for Halloween to never end. We're here to accomodate this understandable desire.
Presto! With this new small, but essential update to CROSSBOW: Bloodnight you can toggle the only seasonal decorations that matter on a whim - even mid-play. Enjoy!
If you still don't own the game, but you're reading these words, must mean you have it on your wishlist. It's Winter Sale, man! That would be the time - you can get CROSSBOW for lousy 2 bucks, and it won't get any cheaper soon.

Covenants!
'Tis the season, everyone. Brace yourselves. The veil between the worlds is lifting. It's Halloween, the time for CROSSBOW: Bloodnight to truly shine! The game was already perfect to get you in the festive mood, with all the bats, zombies, and werewolves haunting the creepy old abbey courtyard. But we wouldn't be Hyperstrange, if we didn't take all the player feedback and put in some extra work to make our game - even as small as CROSSBOW: Bloodnight - even better. We give you the first post-release update!
CHANGELOG
all around asset optimization, both characters and environments - the game now runs much smoother, even on lower-end machines
optimized bat swarm behavior for better performance
when crossbow is at max upgrade level, lost souls decrease special attack cooldown on pick-up
the enemy spawn loop altered after the boss fight, to avoid repeating the initial phase
the further you are in the game, the higher enemy spawn rate gets
spikes spawned on boss death only kill monsters now, not the player
the Tainted One hitbox activates only when it's fully spawned
npc sound effects should stand out more now
seasonal Halloween decorations (they will go away with time...)
Many thanks to everyone who picked up the game upon its launch and provided us with their thoughts on the gameplay, and ideas for improvements. The many thousands of players who got their hands on our ELDERBORN in early access or upon the full release already know, that we like to polish our games further after launch. We're looking forward to the same scenario for CROSSBOW: Bloodnight, and it's YOU who make it possible, giving us feedback and recommending the game to friends. We're really grateful to have you guys in our corner!
