Developer Ludogram has unveiled an intriguing addition to the gaming landscape with their upcoming first-person, four-player co-op horror game, Invokyr. Set against the backdrop of an eerie, abandoned house, players will embark on a chilling adventure that revolves around a cursed board game from the 1970s. Each roll of the dice introduces a new layer of suspense, unleashing traps, unsettling environmental changes, and formidable creatures that heighten the tension.
Game Dynamics and Experience
According to Ludogram’s CEO, Edouard Gaudel, “Invokyr is a love letter to the thrill of board games and the fear of the unknown. It’s about camaraderie under pressure, betrayal at the worst possible time, and the creeping dread of a house that’s watching your every move.” This sentiment encapsulates the essence of the game, where players must navigate both the physical and psychological challenges presented by the haunted setting.
Players will encounter single-use dice scattered throughout the house. Each roll yields a unique effect, which can either bolster their chances of survival or lead them into peril. The enigmatic Gamemaster, voiced by Amelia Tyler from Baldur’s Gate 3, adds another layer of complexity to the gameplay. While teamwork is encouraged, the game also allows for moments of treachery, as players may choose to abandon their companions when faced with overwhelming odds.
Replayability and Secrets
Ludogram emphasizes the game’s replayability, promising that each session will unveil new secrets, unlockable rewards, and deeper layers of the overarching mystery that binds players to Invokyr. This commitment to evolving gameplay ensures that players will find fresh experiences with each playthrough.
For those intrigued by this unique blend of horror and strategy, Invokyr is currently in development for PC and will be available via Steam. Interested players can add it to their wishlist to stay updated on its progress.
