Developer Redlock Studio announced a release date for HYPNOS, their adventure game set in a “Lovecraftian megastructure fever dream.”
HYPNOS is launching in early access for Windows PC (via Steam) next month on May 6th. A full release will come later for PC and unspecified consoles.
“We’ll publish the full Early Access roadmap here, but rest assured that we’ve planned for a fairly short duration: Four to five months maximum,” the team said in a message. “This will allow us to complete the content for the final stages of this project, while also giving us time to take on board all the feedback we hope to receive during this period. There will already be plenty to keep you occupied for hours in these dreamlike lands that we are crafting with passion.”
Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus a new trailer:
HYPNOS is a first-person adventure and exploration game, set in a lovecraftian megastructure fever dream.
Enter the Nameless City at the edge of Dreams. Follow the trail into the shadow of the Holy Mountain. Wander through realms where the laws of the universe break down as they yield to other forces. Walk the Path and embrace your destiny.
YOUR STORY IS BEING WRITTEN IN THE PAGES OF THE MAZE CHRONICLES
“In the Dreamlands, all paths lead to the holy mountain of Kadath, where the gods dwell.
Shadowed by the mountain is the Nameless City, built on the ruins of those who came before.
There, Choron, a vagabond burdened by his past, searches for a faceless boy who haunts his dreams.
To find the boy and unravel the threads of his own destiny, Choron must solve the city’s mysteries, face the Monarchs who rule the far reaches of the world and cross the veils that separate ignorance from truth.”
FIND THE FACELESS BOY. FIND MATTHEW
