Play With Friends

STORY

The end of the world is nigh, the dark forces of the world have gained more and more control in the past years. This is the culmination point, a point of no return. The Dark Lord has finally set his final plan into motion, and there is no one stopping him.

His minions roam the wilderness and soon will launch an attack onto every inhabited area of the lands. Is there no way to prevent this?

The world has given up hope, with just mere weeks left to live the people have made peace with their fates. A decision to live out their lives away from fear, living their normal lives, trying to pretend nothing is happening. A small group of friends set out one late evening to camp out in a nearby cave. Why?

To get drunk and party one last time and enjoy the night, together. Yet when they woke up they felt different, they felt special!

The ancient cave granted them abilities to challenge the rule of the Dark Lord. Could this group of cowards become the Lords undoing? Was this gift a blessing from a godlike entity, a miracle, or just another one of the Dark Lords games?

This is where your story begins…

Or just emote, troll, and mess around in proximity chat until someone ruins everything.(SET EVERYONE ON FIRE)

Dev Note:

This game is being lovingly crafted by two slow-but-passionate developers along side with help from others (all credited in credits of game) working on it in their spare time while balancing full-time jobs. We’re aiming for Early Access in early 2026, but who knows—development may take longer as we perfect the game!

If the game receives positive support, it will allow us to work on it full-time, speeding up development and delivering updates even faster. As we get closer to early 2026, we’ll share regular updates, so nothing will be held back and you’ll know exactly when the game is coming. All progression and new features will be shared on the Steam store page, with additional insights, screenshots, and behind-the-scenes content on Instagram and Discord.

We’re excited to build this chaotic multiplayer roguelike together with the community and make it the best it can be!

Thank you for being awesome!
