Pocketpair Publishing and developer WizMUD Games have announced Vision Quench, a surreal co-op dark fantasy looter shooter set in the underbelly of a corporate mega dungeon.

Vision Quench is in development for Windows PC (via Steam), with a release set for sometime in 2026.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a teaser trailer:

An online co-op dark fantasy looter shooter set in the underbelly of a consumer goods conglomerate mega dungeon. Within its halls you will fight ancient foes and modern horrors. Can you survive long enough to make it to the top?

CLIMB THE TOWER

The last remnant of a vanished bargain lies yet unclaimed atop the Green Tower, where the Sweepstakes Code endures as both a promise and a curse. To redeem it, you and your 3 companions, drawn together by the distant memory of a memory, must fight your way up the tower through a sprawling labyrinth of hidden designs, metaphysical phenomena, and all manner of foul creatures. 

COLLECT, CONSUME, CONSECRATE

Gather cursed commodities that linger in the waste and perform the ritual beneath the green haze, or consume them to quench your thirst for special abilities. Try not to get lost in your aspartame drenched nicemare, you’re here for the code – remember?

UNCOVER THE TRUTH

Each vision quest differs from those that came before, its halls shifting and changing as you make your way up the tower. Your arsenal of weapons and junk food won’t be enough to reach the code, you’ll also need to use the light from your orb to uncover the truths beneath the tiles, decode the riddle on the bleeding wall, NoClip through the psychic geofence, and above all: fend off the Entity. 

“Free them [cursed objects] of the designs first bound upon them, and channel their residue through the Orb, whose light may part illusion and dispel unwanted presences. – excerpt, Voynich Manuscript [DECODED]
