In this final entry in our dev diary series, Silent Games co-founders Joseph Rogers (Creative Director) and Sally Blake (CEO) return with Finlay McDonald (Gameplay Programmer) as they explore the variety of biomes, enemies, and allies you’ll discover throughout your time with Empyreal.
"There are many things we’re proud of when it comes to Empyreal. One of the things we’re most proud of is the level of complexity and depth we’ve been able to add to the game. It’s made it so that every time someone plays, they’re uncovering something new. As a player, you’re rewarded for your curiosity."
From NPC questlines with multiple endings to the extensive possibilities of the Cartogram system, we can’t wait for you to try Empyreal for yourself. If you haven’t already, be sure to play the demo, available now.
The demo is an expansive first glimpse of Empyreal, launched during Steam Next Fest. It features character customisation, instant access to all three weapon classes/playstyles, a wide selection of playable levels, a combat training ground, access to the game’s hub where you can meet Empyreal’s diverse cast of characters, and a peek into endgame loadouts with devastating special abilities and intricate armour designs.
