This Thursday, Ares Dragonis will be releasing their Lovecraftian survival horror game, Eresys. Players will take on the role of a cultist and confront terrifying foes, either solo or alongside up to three friends.

A deranged former cult member opened a portal to the void on a secluded island, unleashing many horrifying monsters that are ready to kill. You and your fellow cultists must work together to send these beings back to where they came from. To do so, you need to locate a set of items and offer them up at an altar in a ritual. However, time is not on your side – you must complete the ritual before the entities are released into the wider world and wreak havoc.

One of the items you will need to find is a tome called the Book of Order. This holds the power to banish the ancient entity and is required during the final ritual. However, the book has lost its pages, which are scattered around the island and need to be found.

There are a few safe locations on the map where you can catch your breath. These safe houses may also contain the ritual items you need. While the caves are less safe, they still offer some protection.

Eresys features dynamic AI mechanics, meaning that monsters will adapt to the players’ actions and find new ways to attack them.

During the early access stage, players can expect future updates to include new types of enemies, additional areas to explore, secrets to discover, and mechanics to deepen the horror experience.

Eresys will enter early access on Steam at a discounted price.
