Indie Developer Artefacts Studio Partners with Dear Villagers to Release New Gameplay Footage
Artefacts Studio, an indie game developer, has unveiled an exciting gameplay trailer for their highly anticipated game, Naheulbeuk’s Dungeon Master. Teaming up with Dear Villagers, the studio aims to captivate players with the ability to create their own eccentric and cursed dungeons. Set to be released on Steam and the Epic Games Store later this summer, this latest addition to The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk franchise promises an immersive and diabolical experience for players.
Building the Lair of Nightmares
The newly released trailer showcases the chaotic and thrilling nature of Naheulbeuk’s Dungeon Master. Players are given a glimpse of the dungeon creation process, including the hiring or capturing of workers, training regimens, and the selection of layouts and decorations. With these tools at their disposal, players can craft the most productive and wicked dungeons imaginable.
The Role of the Dungeon Master
In the game, players assume the role of Reivax, a goblin steward, who has been hired by the great sorcerer Zangdar. Reivax’s mission is to rebuild, manage, and defend the dungeon in the satirical heroic fantasy universe of The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk. Set in a time before the events of the tactical RPG and comic books, the dungeon is in dire straits, teetering on the edge of bankruptcy and under the watchful eye of the Dungeons Fund. It is up to Reivax to restore its former glory, replenish the treasury, recruit employees, and attract adventurers to the dungeon.
From Shaky Establishment to Infamous Lair
As the newly appointed dungeon master, players must design and decorate their dungeon, gradually transforming it from a feeble establishment into an infamous lair. Managing a workforce becomes crucial, with the option to recruit minions or capture laborers. Avoiding strikes and fostering a positive work environment are essential tasks. Of course, being a villainous character, players are not bound by moral constraints and can make effective use of the torture room. While heroes rescue princesses, dungeon making becomes the domain of the evildoers.
Luring Adventurers to Their Doom
The dungeon’s reputation plays a significant role in attracting adventurers seeking to raid its depths. By catering to their weaknesses, such as providing beer for Dwarves, stuffed animals for Elves, or highlighting their muscular prowess for Barbarians, players can entice these unsuspecting heroes to meet their demise. Along the way, players will uncover new lore, experience a fully narrated campaign, and have the freedom to tinker and experiment in this endlessly replayable sandbox.
Noteworthy Features
Naheulbeuk’s Dungeon Master boasts a captivating soundtrack composed by John Lang, the creator of The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk. Lang, known for expanding the series from audio sagas to novels, comic books, and games, is also a talented musician and singer with his band, The Naheulband. Additionally, Lang lends his voice to the game’s French audio track, enhancing the immersive experience for players.
Bruno Chabanel, the CEO of Artefacts Studio, expressed his excitement for Naheulbeuk’s Dungeon Master, emphasizing the game’s ability to tap into players’ mischievous side. He hopes that the gameplay trailer will generate enthusiasm among players for the upcoming full release of the game later this summer.
Naheulbeuk’s Dungeon Master promises to offer a unique and thrilling experience, allowing players to indulge their inner villains and unleash their creativity in the world of dungeon making. With its immersive gameplay, strategic management elements, and captivating lore, this game is set to captivate audiences when it arrives on Steam and the Epic Games Store in the coming months.
