If you’ve been digging the Early Access version of the open-world RPG Dread Delusion, then we have some exciting news! Independent games publisher DreadXP (sister company to Dread Central) is excited to announce the long-awaited full release of the horror-fantasy game by developer Lovely Hellplace!
Read the full synopsis:
The world is broken. Its surface seethes with an undead curse, while humanity clings to flying continents in the sky. From mushroom forests to undead mausoleums, these strange places and their denizens await you. Will you find a way to mend this fractured world – or seek power and profit for yourself? Dread Delusion delivers engaging narrative and imaginative worldbuilding through its many multiple-ending quests and flexible gameplay style that any fan of the genre’s classics will love and recognize. Carve your own path, explore many fantasy towns, venture forth on quests, and speak with the locals to unravel the strange world around you. A keen mind or charming wit can prove just as useful as a sharp sword and mighty spells—your decisions have the power to shape how the story unfolds.
Dread Delusion has been on Steam Early Access since June 2022. Developer Lovely Hellplace has continuously updated the retro-inspired and exploration-centric RPG with new content and improvements. With the upcoming 1.0 release, Dread Delusion adds a new realm called the Underlands, new towns, new dungeons, new quests, new endgame content, cursed enemies, countless pages of dialogue and lore, and much more.
