Hey Survivors, it’s time to return to the void!
The new Eldritch Escape Steam Playtest is live now, featuring an expanded roster of playable survivors and more squad combinations to explore.
Earth has been consumed by an ancient eldritch god. Your way forward? Build a three-character squad, fight through swarms of nightmarish creatures, and make it out with what you can carry.
What awaits you in this playtest?
Expanded Playable Character Roster: More survivors are available in the new playtest, each bringing their own abilities, mechanics, and playstyles to the squad. Experiment with different combinations and discover which characters work best together.
Three-Character Squad Gameplay: Build a squad of three survivors and switch between their abilities as you fight through waves of eldritch creatures. Squad composition plays a major role in how each expedition unfolds.
Team-Up Upgrade Trees: Pairing specific survivors together unlocks powerful Team-Up upgrades and combo abilities. Different squad compositions open up different build possibilities, rewarding experimentation from run to run.
Extraction-Based Runs: Collect Morphite, Modules, and valuable Meta Resources as you explore, but remember: rewards only matter if you make it out. Players must decide when to continue pushing deeper and when it is time to extract.
A Lovecraftian Bullet Heaven: Battle relentless swarms of grotesque creatures inside the remains of an eldritch god, combining the escalating combat of a Bullet Heaven with squad building, exploration, and extraction mechanics.
