Gear up, gamers! Death of a Wish, an action RPG that’ll have you clawing your way out of a nightmare, is set to launch on Steam in Winter 2024. But that’s not all: A demo drops on October 26 during the Steam Scream: The Revenge event, offering players a taste of the bone-chilling experience and a shot at a physical prize.
The Grind Through Nightmare
In Death of a Wish, you’ll step into the shoes of Christian, a Marked child raised by a cult. As he fights to shed the shackles of indoctrination, Christian teams up with others to defy their oppressors. The goal? Dismantle the Four Sanctum Faiths—Father, Sister, Cardinal, and Priest—to shatter the world’s twisted order.
Risk and Reward: Takedown The Deserter Boss
Those up for a challenge can go toe-to-toe with The Deserter Boss in the Steam Next Fest demo. Score an “A” Rank, snap a screenshot, and you could bag a postcard featuring key art from Brianna Lei, the creative brain behind Butterfly Soup. The icing on the cake? A handwritten message from the devs themselves.
Features that Slap
Death of a Wish ain’t your run-of-the-mill RPG. It’s got:
- Tactical Aggression: The combat system rewards your aggressive flair. Rack up those style points to fend off increasing corruption levels.
- RPG Depth: A robust perk system lets you tailor the rhythm of combat to your playstyle. Flex those strategy muscles!
- Dream or Nightmare?: The game unfolds in a grim dreamscape, teeming with surreal characters and uncanny events.
- Chilling Tunes: The soundtrack, masterminded by Nicolo Telesca, blends electronic beats with live instruments for an atmosphere that’s pure spine-tingling.
