Dragonis Games and Ares Dragonis have announced that Eresys, a Lovecraftian co-op horror game, is now available in Steam early access. The teams are celebrating in a big way with an awesome – and quite creepy – peek at the game in an all-new trailer.
The v.08 version of the game brings with it a new map called Innsmouth, a cursed fishing village where players are tasked with lifting a strange curse. Sea creatures have emerged from the depths of the ocean to bring players to heel to stop them from helping the village. The updated early access version also includes new NPCs, a new creature, a new storyline, a new mask, and several new achievements.
Features include
- An immersive environment created with delicate presentation of monsters and characters.
- You and your fellow cultists must work together to send the entities back to where they came from and seal the portal to prevent further destruction.
- Smart AI fuels monsters that will calculate all choices and actions. This has an immediate impact on their AI and create new ways to devour players.
- It could be a small coin or an idol, anything that is linked to the occult that could trigger a surprising and unexpected event. You never know what is hiding behind each item.
- Houses and other buildings can provide temporary safety. Hidden lootable items and resources can be found, which you will need to complete the final ritual.
- Caves can offer a brief respite from danger and a source of resources, but be wary – they may also conceal sinister surprises.
- Players must decide who carries the powerful tome, the book of the order, which can banish the ancient entity once it is complete.
