The upcoming Disco Elysium for D&D nerds just dropped a 90-minute supercut of its weirdly beautiful soundtrack

Publisher Raw Fury has released "90 Minutes of Esoteric Ebb Music | A Lazy Day in Norvik" on YouTube as a preview of the soundtrack for the upcoming fantasy RPG, Esoteric Ebb. The soundtrack features elements typical of fantasy games, including wistful strings and memorable synths, distinguishing it from its inspiration, Disco Elysium. Esoteric Ebb combines narrative depth and urban exploration similar to Disco Elysium while incorporating classic Dungeons & Dragons elements, including spellcasting and combat. The demo includes a dialogue-based combat scenario where players can engage in ability checks against a zombie. The game is available for wishlisting on Steam.

I can’t put down this dark fantasy roguelike that’s basically Elden Ring Nightreign, and it just got a magical new character

Ravenswatch is a dark fantasy roguelike ARPG that blends elements from top-down action games and power-leveling titles. The game features a roster of fairytale characters and has introduced its first DLC character, Merlin, along with a significant update that includes an overhaul of magical objects and balance adjustments. Merlin has a unique skill set with two-button combinations that allow him to cast nine distinct spells across three categories: nature, arcane, and defense. His passive trait enables him to build runes of potency through basic attacks, enhancing his spells. The game also includes a complimentary update with five new magical objects, improvements to the enemy aggro system, and guaranteed rare or epic items from certain chests. Merlin will be available on January 19 for .99 / £6.49, and the game has an 86% approval rating on Steam.
