GrapeOcean Technologies have announced their isometric CRPG Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness hits full release next month.
While the game entered Early Access in August 2021, and Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness hits full release on March 17th. Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness is an isometric CRPG inspired by classic games from the genre like Icewind Dale and Baldur’s Gate.
The game is set in the world of Yerengal, a dark land where greedy gods continually upset the peace and stability of the mortal realms. With a bloody civil war brewing, players will get a chance to create their own character and recruit a party of allies to either provide hope to the masses, or further the agenda of uncaring dark deities.
