'Eresys' Unveils New Features And Gives Development Progress/Updates

by Rainier on Jan. 13, 2023 @ 4:26 p.m. PST

Inspired by H.P Lovecraft, Eresys is a horror co-op game for up to four players.

Players must work together to overcome terrifying creatures and use occult knowledge to survive. Explore a mysterious island, uncover hidden secrets, and face unexpected challenges. A unique AI and a variety of enemies will keep players on their toes. Can you and your team survive the horrors of the Lovecraftian universe?

A party of 4 players face together the fears of the Lovecraftian Universe. Featuring smart AI mechanics with horrifying entities that will make you regret stepping into the forest.

Only by working together and using the order of the occult will you be able to stand a chance.

Discover hidden secrets and trigger Unexpected Events - You and your teammates will have the chance to trigger a well-hidden mystery among the island and witness something truly mouth drooping.


 First and foremost, we have revamped the user interface (UI) to make it cleaner, more intuitive, and more dynamic. The UI elements now update in real-time, depending on what is happening in the game, which improves the overall aesthetics and enhances the gameplay experience.

One of the most exciting new features is the Lantern mechanic. Players can use the lantern to light their way and the book to collect pages, but they must be mindful of their oil supply, represented by sparks coming out of the lantern. We have also made several updates to the burning feeling of the lantern, such as a slight raise and center of the oil lamp, a decrease in FOV, and a slower pace when walking, making the game feel more realistic and immersive.

Another new feature is the ability to equip pages, which players must do before they can give them to other players. Players can only equip a maximum of 3 pages at a time, and the pages are visible in their hands according to the number they have and their materials. This feature adds an additional layer of gameplay and strategy to the game, making the Necronomicon more immersive, and the use of the lantern more strategic.

We have also optimised and expanded the blood vial system, with a maximum carry value of 3, which is visible on the player's body and UI. This improves the overall gameplay and survival aspect of the game.

We are excited about the progress we are making on Eresys and can't wait to share more updates with you in the near future. Stay tuned for more information about the release date of the game and add Eresys to your Steam Wishlist to get notified once it gets released.

Key Features:

  • Co-op - Up to 4 Party Members
  • Multiple enemies - Anything can come out of the Void Portal, each entity has a unique mechanic.
  • The detailed environment in combination with the unique presentation of the monsters and the characters offer to the player an unforgettable gaming experience.
  • Backstory - An expelled cultist has been playing with the book that he stole from the order, on a cut-off island. His actions led to his death along with the inhabitants of the island and an unknown Void Portal left unchecked. On the other hand, you and your fellow cultists need to send the entity back from where it came from and seal the portal. Claim the sources that are needed to complete the offer of the altars.
  • Smart Mechanics - Only by working as a team will you come out of this forest alive.
  • Smart AI - Those entities are not your typical kind of “Monsters”. They will calculate all your choices and actions. This will also have an immediate impact on their AI and create new ways to devour you.
  • Unexpected Events - 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.
  • Cave System - Caves can be good hideouts but also hide sinister surprises. “Be prepared”.
  • Safe Houses - 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.
  • The Book - The book is given from the start to one of the players, this action will decide the keeper of the book. The book of the order can resurrect one of your teammates but with unexpected consequences.
  • Scrolls - Have been made by The Order, as a temporary solution to dissipate the monsters that are chasing you. Each scroll can be used only once and has this effect for a short period.
  • Pages - The book of the order has missing pages, to complete the final ritual, you will have to gather every missing page.
  • Victims - The enchanted victims and other resources can be found around the island which was used by the cultist. You have to gather their blood and fill your vials with it.
  • The Oil Lamps - The Entities have been in the void for eons and they are not familiar with the Light. Stick together with your teammates with at least 2 lamps lit. This will be one of the many ways to keep them at a distance. Remember that you will need oil to refill the lamps.
  • Altars - Altars are a manifestation from the necroworld summoned by the expelled cultist. Offer them blood and they will reward you with blood spheres.

 Eresys is in development for PC (Steam).
