Greetings ladies, gentlemen and any eldritch entities watching us from the void!
Today is an auspicious day, as we have several significant announcements to make. We will not tempt your sanity by making you wait any longer, so let's dive right into it with a brand-new teaser we have prepared!
Yes, you read that right. Stygian: Outer Gods is joining Steam Next Fest, starting February 24 with a playable demo, which will cover the very beginning of the story as you embark on your voyage to the cursed town of Kingsport. Our aim is to offer you all a small taste of the mind-bending atmosphere and otherworldly dread the game will bring later this year.
But we know you want to see more of the game with your own eyes; so we have partnered with various gaming media and influencers and given them a chance to experience a more significant part of the game and share their impressions with you. You can already watch for example videos by Alpha Beta Gamer or Enfant Terrible, and more articles, videos and livestreams are being posted.
What do you think so far? We would love to hear your opinion. And while we read all the comments here and in the Steam Discussions, it's always good to have a more immediate, direct channel. To that end, we have started a new, dedicated Discord server. Come join us!
Our aim is to make Stygian: Outer Gods an unforgettable experience. We are using a non-traditional approach to horror, emphasizing the ambient atmosphere and creeping dread of the unknown, rather than setting up jumpscare after jumpscare or flooding the screen with tentacled monstrosities and gore; all the while providing rich gameplay with action, survival and RPG elements. Our design philosophy is to give players the freedom to find their own way through the story, to interact with the world as they choose, and to come up with the tactics and solutions that they enjoy. To that end, we invite you, true Lovecraftian horror enthusiasts, to participate in our development journey; to have a say in how the game is balanced and what features are added, to help us make the most enjoyable experience for you - Stygian: Outer Gods will launch in Steam Early Access this year. We will unveil more details about its content and our plans for the Early Access period as well as the full release soon.
Don't forget to join the aforementioned Discord server and wishlist + follow the game here on Steam, so you don’t miss any of our coming updates!
