Venris, the mastermind behind one of the most popular mods for Total War: Warhammer III, is stepping into the spotlight with his own unique project. His newly founded studio, Evil Gingerbread Studios, has just announced their debut title, Whispers of the Eyeless, a dark fantasy RPG that draws inspiration from titles like Darkest Dungeon, Loop Hero, Children of Morta, and deep-rooted Polish folklore. The game will be published by Camlann Games.
Whispers of the Eyeless transports players to the eerie, medieval city of Aranthor, where they must lead a dark cult to glory. This isn’t your typical fantasy adventure; instead, it offers a grim narrative where players infiltrate the city, upgrade their secretive sanctum, engage in challenging turn-based combat, and work to revive the long-forgotten Dead Gods. The game promises to be a unique blend of strategy and dark fantasy, with an atmosphere reminiscent of the games that inspired it.
The game’s journey began with a Kickstarter campaign that exceeded all expectations, raising 500% of its initial goal. This overwhelming support has allowed the team at Evil Gingerbread Studios to bring their ambitious vision to life. Now, after months of development, they are ready to share Whispers of the Eyeless with the gaming community.
For those eager to see the game in action, Splattercat’s detailed playthrough provides an in-depth look at the game world and its mechanics, offering a glimpse of what players can expect.
In addition, Evil Gingerbread Studios has released “Whispers of the Eyeless in Numbers,” a detailed breakdown of the game’s current content and what’s planned for its Early Access roadmap. This includes everything from the number of unique enemies and upgrades to the variety of missions and rituals players can undertake as they guide their cult to power.
With the game now on the cusp of release, Venris and his team are set to make a significant impact on the indie RPG scene. Whispers of the Eyeless is shaping up to be a must-play for fans of dark fantasy and strategic gameplay, blending its inspirations into a hauntingly unique experience.
