'Inferius' Is A First-Person Horror Roguelite By Former BioWare and Ubisoft Devs, Coming To PC In 2026 - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Aug. 14, 2025 @ 7:00 a.m. PDT

Inspired by The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri and Lovecraftian horror, Inferius is a a first-person psychological horror deckbuilder featuring a twisted take on the Major Arcana tarot cards.

In Inferius, you awaken as a Pilgrim, lost, damned, and marked, in a realm that reflects your forgotten sins. Armed with only your lantern and a growing deck of Tarot-inspired Major Arcana, you must survive the nine dominions of hell, each ruled by a grotesque entity and shaped by sin and fear. Combat unfolds not through blades or bullets, but through tactical card duels, where every draw is a choice, and every sacrifice has weight. Exploration and strategy are tightly interwoven, as clues found in the world inform your deck, and victories in battle shift the realm around you.

The deeper you descend, the more your sanity begins to fracture. Inferius rewards persistence through its unforgiving roguelite loop: die, return, rebuild, and try again with new insight. Each ruler you defeat grants you power, but also distorts your perception. Brands, Sigils, and Minor Arcana allow you to mutate your cards in unpredictable ways, pushing your strategy—and your mind—to the brink. Uncover Soul Echoes from those who came before, barter on the black market, and wield your flailing lantern to ward off the nightmares that lurk in the dark. With each run, the Inferno changes, daring you to descend once more and confront the truth buried at the heart of damnation.

Inferius is the first project for the Canada-based studio, which features veterans from BioWare and Ubisoft, in addition to developers from the GTA V and Metro teams.

Key Features:

  • First-person Horror Deckbuilder - Collect, upgrade, and craft a custom Tarot-inspired deck. Battles are fought in turn-based, first-person card duels that blend horror with deep strategy.
  • Nine Levels of Hell - Descend through 9 dominions, each representing a sin from “The Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri —every level offers unique enemies, mechanics, and visual themes.
  • Lantern-driven Sanity System - Your lantern is your lifeline—it illuminates paths, solves puzzles, reveals secrets, and prevents your sanity from slipping into madness.
  • Psychological Horror Enemies & Environments - Face grotesque, fear-driven creatures and surreal environments inspired by phobias like arachnophobia, claustrophobia, and paranoia—each dominion explores a different mental terror.

Inferius is coming to PC (Steam) in 2026.
