Fulqrum Publishing and Misterial Games are offering a sneak glimpse into the content coming to Stygian: Outer Gods as it progresses through its Early Access period.
Before the game’s final 1.0 release, Fulqrum Publishing and Misterial Games plan to deliver (among other updates), two new locations – the otherworldly House of Mists with its surrounding area and the mysterious Brasko family Mansion along with its estate. Both of these locales will be brought to life with new intriguing characters and deadly enemies, as well as challenging puzzles and quests.
These new locations will accompany a whole host of other additions to the game, including new characters and monsters, new quests, and new artifacts, items, and weapons - including the much-requested Tommy gun.
And that’s as well as a series of more technical updates, which will improve optimization, game balancing, localize it into new languages and add more voice-over talent!
But that still isn’t all. In addition to all the above improvements, which are currently in development for Early Access updates, the game's full release will expand even further, with a host of new content that will, among other things, challenge players by introducing new boss fights, as well as even more locations, characters, monsters, crafting recipes and more!
Key Features:
- Forbidden harbor: Explore the dark streets of the forgotten settlement of Kingsport, inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Check its hidden corners and unlock access to new areas. Find its secrets, solve puzzles, open new paths, and unlock closed doors. Many locations await you: an old village, a mysterious mansion, dark mines, cemeteries, foggy forests, and, of course, an old lighthouse.
- Survive the horror: You will be in constant jeopardy, rarely escaping from monstrous enemies and devious traps unscathed. Physical harm is far from the gravest danger, however, as all these perils will take a toll on your psyche, and your mind may be hurt as well. Any mental afflictions you develop will impact your gameplay experience. Stay on the lookout for materials and recipes and craft the tools, medicines, and remedies necessary to face the horrors around you.
- Roleplaying mechanics: Choose your play style - unlock new abilities, find eldritch artifacts, and experiment with different ways to interact with the environment. You will always have choices and multiple paths to progress the story, but be prepared to face their consequences.
- Impending doom: Player choices influence events unfolding in the game world, leading to various endings. Any wrong word or action may have irreversible consequences. The world reacts to how you develop your character, the denizens and hazards may react differently depending on your madness and chosen playstyle.
- Stygian Legacy: Stygian: Outer Gods takes place in the original Stygian universe, therefore certain events in this game may provide a fresh perspective on events and characters from the Reign of the Old Ones.
Currently available through Steam Early Access, Stygian: Outer Gods is in development for PC (Steam/GOG/Epic Games Store), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
