The realm of the living has been corrupted to its core and a storm is coming to change the world order. This storm is you, a mighty Necromancer, a sorcerer who denies death and leads the legions of the dead. Clerics and lords hope to hide behind high walls, but there’s no stronghold to cover them from your wrath. Smite hundreds of those standing in your way and turn them into your tools on the way to a greater purpose.

The Unliving is a dynamic rogue-lite action RPG with strategic elements. Raise the undead, use numerous spells and explore a mystical world, all realised with darkly extravagant pixel-art.

In The Unliving, players wield the dark art of necromancy to command a growing army of the undead through a mystical world, wreaking havoc across humanity’s domains and turning fallen enemies into morbid servants. While the Necromancer may control the undead even he cannot escape death; with each reincarnation, players must learn from their mistakes, forge new strategies, and overcome the living, all while trying to unravel the secrets buried deep in forgotten corners of the world of The Unliving.

The Unliving is available through to Steam Early Access.

“The core features of our game are implemented with many hours of play required to master the art of necromancy and unlock all the Early Access content. The game contains approximately: 100+ spells and sacrificial runes, three battle locations, with some degree of enrichment for random generation and Necromancers citadel with a lot of different upgrades and powers, three main bosses, and plethora of enemies with unique undead variant for each one of them. There also a Necromancy-filled plot of the story, with colorful personalities to meet, and dialogues to read thru multiple runs.”

“We are treating the Early Access version as the base that we will build from, and aim to fill the game with additional necromantic content and features. We already have a road-map, listing the things we are going to make - new levels, spells, cursed items, and bosses, as well as dark mechanics that will provide additional opportunities to wreak havoc on living. But if there will be high demand for something that not in there - we probably will add it too.”

“The main purpose of Early Access is to make sure that The Unliving turns into a well-rounded necromancer experience and a product ready for full release. The Unliving will remain in Early Access until we're satisfied and sure that it's the complete experience we want it to be.”
