GrapeOcean, the developers of classic party-based isometric fantasy cRPG Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness, have released a new update for the game, introducing additional party banter, an item offering resurrection, extended companion quests for Hamlin, Bjalla and Jade and more.
Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness. Explore a land plagued by war, pestilence and mysterious abductions, and uncover the hidden legacy of your birth. Recruit powerful allies to your cause; achieve your goals through sorcery, stealth, a silver tongue or brute force; and discover the truth of the Black Geyser.
Developed by a small indie team and inspired by cRPG classics like Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale, Black Geyser features challenging real time tactical combat with pause, deep lore and memorable companions, all set in a sprawling, unique fantasy world.
