by Rainier on Feb. 1, 2024 @ 4:32 p.m. PST

Life By You is a next-generation life simulation game headed by Rod Humble, the industry veteran known for his roles in creating The Sims and Second Life.

Developed by the studio behind the widely acclaimed game Curse of the Dead GodsRavenswatch asks those who dare to confront the hordes of Nightmares, which are corrupting the world of Reverie.

Inhabitants of Reverie, it's time to stand against the Nightmares that assail you. We are the Ravens, and we have assembled the heroes of legend to lead the counterattack. The Ravenswatch is going forth to seize the Dark Hills from the claws of the Nightmares that stole them from us. As soon as you join the Ravenswatch, you will begin writing the next pages of our history by cleansing Reverie of corruption!

Fallen heroes of old folk tales and legends: you are on the verge of a crucial battle against the Nightmare invading and corrupting your world.

Passtech returns with a new formula and game experience that can be played solo or with up to four players in co-op.

After just passing the 400,000 individual players mark, Ravenswatch has now received a new Steam Early Access update.

Dubbed Dark Tales, it unlocks additional content for each hero and brings an eagerly awaited new feature, as well as various adjustments. Playable in solo or co-op mode in teams of up to 4, the famous roguelike is continuing to enrich its early access version, pending the next major update and the announcement of its final release date.

New content to rediscover each hero in a new light

With its Dark Tales update, Ravenswatch provides a more in-depth backstory for each of its heroes. Players can also expand their playing style for each hero, thanks to 30 new unlockable talents.
A new section now appears in the main menu. Entitled Memoirs, it enables you to learn more about the past and context of each of the 8 playable heroes. These unlockables become accessible as the player’s mastery of the character increases.

Offer teammates fallen in battle a second chance at the Altar of Heroes

The Dark Tales update also brings a brand-new feature. With the Altar of Heroes, players can now revive one of their companions, even if they have run out of resurrection feathers. This feature comes in the form of a new activity. Nonetheless, if their team is intact, players can instead opt for an additional feather or an experience bonus.

Various adjustments to improve the overall gameplay

The Passtech Games studio has worked hard to offer players a more stable cooperative experience worldwide. To meet this objective, connections between players are now managed by Epic Online Services. 

In addition to a general rebalancing of the game and characters, new verbal interactions with some NPCs have been added. Finally, players can now activate subtitles, and thereby read the heroes’ dialogue on-screen.

Key Features:

  • BANISH THE NIGHTMARE FROM YOUR REALM: The Nightmares are spreading within Reverie, corrupting everything in their path. You must hone your skills and find the strength to defeat the creatures of the Nightmare using unique hero abilities inspired by characters from folk tales and legends.
  • DYNAMIC GAMEPLAY: To defeat the Nightmare and reach the final chapter, you will need a strong build, focus and excellent teamwork. Increase your fighting power in battles then face the level boss when you feel ready… or when you no longer have a choice.
  • DARK TALES: The world of Reverie is built on old folk tales and legends. From the three little pigs to Norse mythology to One Thousand and One Nights, the best-known tales are revisited in a dark-fantasy style and add their timeless appeal to the atmosphere of Ravenswatch.
  • HIGH REPLAY VALUE: Run after run, play as different heroes, make the most of the upgrades and items you find, and explore a randomly generated map with new activities and new enemies.
  • An exciting roguelite that can be played solo or in co-op with up to four players
  • Art design inspired by Dark Comic Books and rousing music
  • Multiple synergies to create between the different heroes through the party system
  • Upgrades and an extensive enemy bestiary
