October Update - Tools, Monsters and More!

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

The days grow darker and the vibes grow spookier! Halloween is nigh - and we could not be more excited! This month we are unveiling some new monster designs as well as the new environment mock-up we’ve created and as a little treat we will also show you some tools we’ve been cooking up!

More Monster

As teased last month, we have been working on new monsters! For these beasties we take inspiration from the wildlife in and around Switzerland, since that is where the game loosely is set in. Behold, the funky mushroom and long fire salamander and watchful spider! (Spider is the next image when pressed!)

Second Environment Concepts

For the new environment we will go up into the mountains - once again taking inspiration from the beautiful scenery outside our doorstep. Besides, nothing bad ever happened up on a maddening mountain, right?

Tool Teasers

It’s finally time to give you a small taste of the tools we have been working on! These tools will be used to diagnose monsters and to find out what emotion you have to target. In this update we want to highlight the magnifying glass, sound recorder and colour filter.
Each interact with the monster uniquely and will tell you more about their desires.

In other news, Eldritch Empathy is part of the spooktacular Steam Scream Fest this year! Now is a great time to wishlist our game if you haven’t already and follow us on our socials!
