Macabre is a co-op stealth extraction horror game that takes players on a thrilling journey through infinite timelines within an unstable time rift.

Time Rifts filled with interdimensional terrors are just another thing to watch out for when visiting Australia. Team up with friends to confront interdimensional terrors in this heart-pumping, adrenaline-fueled horror game.

Guided by Banjo, an eccentric recluse with an unclear past, you and your friends will venture deep into an unstable time rift, tasked with uncovering the source of terrifying anomalies. Upgrade your gear, learn new skills, and fight with everything you've got to save humankind from a fate worse than death.

Macabre features a highly replayable game loop, addictive progression, and the option to play solo or with friends. The game is designed with depth and replayability in mind, offering unique locations, immersive art and sound, cunning creatures, and a pinch of Dark comedy.

Developed in Unreal Engine 5 for PC, Macabre aims to bring the immersive and terrifying experience of high-end single-player horror games to a multiplayer audience.


"We're incredibly humbled and grateful for the opportunity to showcase Macabre at the PC Gaming Show," said Jake Davey, Game Director and Co-founder of Weforge Studio. "The game has been a labor of love for our team, and we can't wait for players to experience the unique blend of stealth, horror, and co-op gameplay that Macabre offers."

"People all around the world know Australia to be a dangerous place. Our goal is to reinforce this stereotype by showing we also have cunning interdimensional beings that will stop at nothing to tear you apart," said Jay Topping, Creative Director and Co-founder of Weforge Studio. "We believe that Macabre offers a fresh and unique take on the horror genre, and we're excited to see how players will react to the reveal trailer."

Weforge is set to release a single-player demo soon, with an Early Access release date and price to be announced.

Key Features:

  • Experience the bone-chilling terror of single-player horror games in an electrifying co-op adventure with Macabre! Jump into a stunningly realistic and immersive experience that will transport you and your friends to mysterious and haunting locations. You'll need to complete brain-teasing puzzles while avoiding spine-tingling creatures if you hope to progress and uncover the secrets of this twisted world.
  • As winds howl and snow falls heavily across an abandoned eco-retreat, you and your team brace yourselves for what lies ahead. This is no ordinary investigation - tales of strange and unnerving occurrences in the area have become the stuff of local legend, and it's up to you to uncover the truth. But as you venture deeper into the mountains, you soon realize far darker forces are at play.
  • Macabre features rich lore with unforgettable characters you'll need to assist if you and your party hope to uncover the secrets at the heart of this captivating universe.
  • The fear of the unknown is what makes for a truly terrifying experience. In Macabre, everything from maps to objectives and puzzles are entirely randomized. To make matters worse, your actions will directly impact the monster's behavior, making them even more unpredictable. So every time you play, you'll never know what unique set of challenges await.
  • Work with (or against) other players to solve puzzles, unlock new equipment and escape with essential items to further your progression. But watch out! As you search the snow swept landscape, you'll need to keep an eye out for the cunning creatures that watch your every move, waiting for the opportune moment to strike!
  • You'll need your wits and courage to survive the horrors lurking in the shadows. From cunning creatures that stalk and toy with you to puzzles and challenges that will test your limits, every step brings you closer to the brink of madness. And with up to 4 player co-op, you'll have to decide whether to stick together or risk going alone.
  • As the tensions rise and the terror deepens, will you cling to those around you for safety and support, or will the fear drive you to betray them for your own survival? The path to salvation is uncertain, but one thing is sure: the nightmare of Macabre will test your courage and loyalty to the limit.
  • No haunted house. Or creepy asylum. But a fresh take on the genre that explores unchartered territory. Moving beyond cheap jump scares and gore, Macabre will create an immersively terrifying and profoundly unsettling atmosphere that gets your heart pumping and your hairs on edge.
  • Macabre completely ​supports diehard horror fans, with maps that scale to the number of players. We just think you'll stand a more of a chance in company.

Macabre is coming to PC (Steam) followed by consoles at a later time.
