Stygian: Outer Gods Coming to Steam Early Access

Fulqrum Publishing and Misterial Games announced their upcoming first-person Lovecraftian survival horror RPG Stygian: Outer Gods is coming to Steam Early Access. The Early Access version will launch this year, with no release date as of yet. The full version is still planned to release for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. A demo of the game is available on Steam as part of the ongoing Steam Next Fest that runs until March 3, 2025.

Stygian: Outer Gods is set in the same universe as Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones. It sees players taking on the role of a former anthropologist and soldier, who was discharged due to a severe injury. In a precarious mental state, he is haunted by nightmares and his father’s unresolved disappearance. He receives an invitation from a young woman to join an expedition to the secluded town of Kingsport, which had previously caught his father’s interest.

Players soon find themselves drawn into a web of secrets, mysteries, and schemes, with the ominous arrival of an event called the Black Day ticking down. The game includes a variety of characters, including known Lovecraftian figures such as Keziah Mason, each with their own storylines. Combat will let players wield melee or ranged weapons, though ammo will be scarce, encouraging stealthy approaches where possible. Players will be able to unlock and upgrade skills and abilities to help customise and benefit their play style.
