It's an indie Oblivion inspired game from last year. Plus music by ThorHighHeels, who does fantastic video game essays on YT. ✨

(the Angel drawing was actually the very first thing I drew for @lovelyhellplace.bsky.social all those years ago🙏❤️🔥)

unlabelledView post →I'm terrified of all the games releasing next month, that is an absurd release schedule, but one that I'm particularly looking forward to is the new game from the Dread Delusion developer, Entropy.
unlabelledView post →Please RT! A little surprise for all the Dread Delusion fans out there! A digital art booklet of all of my character drawings made for the game, right here, free to download for everyone: ohotnig.gumroad.com/l/dd ohotnig.itch.io/dd PDF/CBZ, 24 pages of art!
unlabelledView post →Entropy is the new game from Dread Delusion developer Lovely Hellspace, and this time it's an RPG with turn-based combat, I get strong vibes of Vagrant Story from this, filtered through the decidedly weird and alien fantasy this dev has going on. The character portraits are absolutely stunning.
unlabelledView post →If you are looking at the Stream sale and want an absolutely fresh game, I'd like to highly recommend Dread Delusion Rolled credits on it this week and it might be one of the most interesting RPG's I've played in years
unlabelledView post →The ComputerWorlds showcase on Steam is just FULL of gloriously weird stuff. Dread Delusion is half price, too - great game. Also don't sleep on Hyperbeat, which is one of the most stylish rhythm games ever made and somehow VERY undersold.
unlabelledView post →it's increasingly clear to me that none of these people in executive positions of the game industry are at all aware of stuff like Dread Delusion whatsoever - even as the sizeable cult audience for contemporary indie games directly inspired by stuff like Morrowind continues to grow
unlabelledView post →Aha this rules, Dread Delusion is in a book! 📕 @thamesandhudson.bsky.social v kindly sent me a copy of Indie Game Works by @nathanpgibson28.bsky.social, which features ~50 indie games & comes out April 13. Dread Delusion gets two beautiful double page spreads ✨
unlabelledView post →fwiw I think also if you love the new game and are sad it didn't do well that is totally your prerogative. It's not a JKR situation where your money is going to horrific societal oppression and legislation. It just bums me out too much to spend money/time on it. I am busy playing Dread Delusion
unlabelledView post →Finally started Dread Delusion, yet another game I bought solely on comparisons to Morrowind, which it certainly is tonally (with a dash of Warhammer aesthetic). But I wasn't quite prepared for it also scratching the nostalgic itch of Nintendo 64 FPS gameplay (giant floating pick-ups and all)
unlabelledView post →2024 was a crazy year on a personal level but,, somehow I still did a lot of stuff! • Shipped Dread Delusion Clockwork Kingdom update (the region I directed) • Ran Slug World 2024 and it went great! • Shipped cult classic rpg Dread Delusion • Began development of my next game, Feral Blood Doll

unlabelledView post →OH BOY! store.steampowered.com/app/1574240/Dread_Delusion/ A huge update for DREAD DELUSION is live! I couldn't recommend the game enough (I'm a part of it due to my own passion for its early demo), but if you need persuasion, maybe character designs & in-game artwork made by me will do the trick!;)
unlabelledView post →Check this out, especially if you’re into retro (ps1 era) rpgs and weird fantasy/ horror. I’m a huge Dread Delusion fan, and so far this is giving me all the great vibes of that game, but with a totally different play style. Works amazing on the deck too. Love it, can’t wait until August.
