by Rainier on Jan. 13, 2020 @ 1:13 p.m. PST

Deadhaus Sonata is a narrative driven action RPG where you play a steward of the House of the Dead fighting for dominance against the living.

Deadhaus Sonata is a combination of fast action, loot collection and deep gothic lore and is sure to usher in a universe where gamers can explore a dark mythology like none other. The game will also feature its own musical score to create a deeply-immersive experience for gamers.

As an unstoppable force from Deadhaus, you are a monster among men, dealing death and destruction on a massive scale. Launch enemies in the air and eviscerate them with elegant dance macabre. Consume your enemies to make yourself whole while exploring the grim world of Nogosaua.

The brains behind Apocalypse Studios are no strangers to the industry. Founder Denis Dyack is the creator of critically-acclaimed video games including Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem, and Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes.


Key Features:

  • Play the Dead - Play as Vampires, Ghouls, Revenants, Liches, Wights, Banshees, and Wraiths, Deadhaus Sonata focuses on asymmetric gameplay as you explore the grim world of Nogosaua.
  • Fast Paced Combat - Tear through hordes of enemies in visceral combat, through magick, melee, and terrifyingly gruesome attacks.
  • Endless loot - Collect unlimited amounts of distinct and unique weapons, armour, and artifacts. Use this loot to customize your character in a variety of ways and shape how your character fits into the complex political system of the realm.
  • Take Initiative - You make choices that have a lasting, maybe even permanent, affect on your character, and potentially on the world at large.
  • Community Driven Content - Create characters, levels, quests, and more using various creation tools that will be introduced into the Deadhaus world.
  • 6 Player Co-op - Play with up to 6 people and assist each other in wreaking havoc on the living.
  • Literary Influences: A grim fantasy ARPG where only the darkest things can save the world from the rot and decay of a millennium human malfeasance. Inspired by master writers such as Steven Erikson, Thomas Ligotti, H.P. Lovecraft, and Edgar Allan Poe.
  • Narrative Driven: Deadhaus Sonata will continue this tradition seen in Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem, Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes and Too Human by incorporating a large amount of high quality voice acting and narration throughout the game. Constructed as a living and breathing Shakespearean play crawling with complex themes, characters, narrative and detailed plot-line.

Deadhaus Sonata is currently in production for PC, with other platforms to be announced at a later time.
