Travel back to the historic battlefields of World War I and World War II across both flash games in the Warfare series. Rally British and German troops to push through the trenches of France in Warfare 1917. Choose between the U.S. forces or the German Wehrmacht in a strategic tug of war in Warfare 1944.

Indulge in eternal torment with morbid humor and hack-and-slash combat

LOS ANGELES (March 26, 2025) — Publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment (Dicefolk, Monster Train) and developer Violet Saint today announced that Moroi, a dark fantasy hack-and-slash adventure inspired by Romanian folklore, heavy metal and Lynchian surrealism, will officially launch on PC via Steam on April 30 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2518410/Moroi/).

Embrace the demented world of Moroi with its new release date trailer.

In Moroi’s Cosmic Engine, a beast of forever-stretching corridors, rusted gears, and rotting flesh, you find yourself trapped. Your name, your sins, your past, all vacant in your memory. Claw your way through this realm of torment and greet the grotesque inhabitants whose dark-as-night humor is the only silver lining. Cling to your sanity in an otherwise deteriorating existence styled as grimdark fantasy, a subgenre of fiction distinguished by bleak, dystopian settings and scenarios.

In this place, violence seems like a currency. Moroi’s battalions of mages, golden guards, and the cursed dead all march to the rhythm of a nightmare, and you are caught in the tempo. Defend yourself by wielding unorthodox weaponry such as the vicious teeth of a sentient duck, or shower enemies with added projectiles thanks to the aid of a powerful moon. Around every corner, something new, something terrible awaits.

Beyond the bloody thrill of combat, the Cosmic Engine weaves puzzles into your path, brain-bending challenges that demand more than wit. For example, drink blood to open a door, induce regurgitation to reveal a new path, or dig through the insides of some poor soul to grant your passage. Every answer is a sacrifice, every solution, a wound. Engage with the Cosmic’s eccentric, absurd, and damned denizens, uncovering the reality of its cruel nature while grasping at fleeting moments of laughter amid the darkness.

Escape is your only hope, the key to uncovering the grim truths that bind you. But tread carefully – the choices you make will carve your path toward one of multiple endings, shaping a fate that may prove more harrowing than the Cosmic Engine itself.

Stay up to date on the macabre reality of Moroi by following Good Shepherd Entertainment on Bluesky @GoodShepherd.Games. 

About Violet Saint

Moroi began as a solo project and has since grown into a passionate team working to bring its eerie vision to life. Moroi is the debut title from Violet Saint, led by Alexandru Stănescu, a Romanian-born and Swiss-based dev. As a veteran Unreal Engine Artist, making Moroi is a dream (or nightmare) come true. An exquisitely crafted labor of love packed with macabre designs near and dear to Alex’s heart.

Alex’s artistic persona has been shaped by horror, absurd and surreal art, as well as heavy metal music. Moroi combines his love of these aesthetics with his admiration for the folklore of his home country, Romania.

A Tide-Turning Crusade Across the Seven-and-a-Half Seas!

In this fast-action, blood-drenched FPS, you play as the infamous Captain Wayne, a cigar-chomping, revenge-fueled menace with a shotgun replacing his severed arm, countless explosives, a bad attitude and a knack for creative carnage. Stranded on Orca Isle after a brutal ambush, Wayne sets out to reclaim his stolen ship and unleash hell on the mercenary gang that wronged him – the ruthless “Killer Whales.”

Clad in hot pink, fueled by rage and rum, and wielding an arsenal fit for a sea-demon, Captain Wayne doesn’t just kill; he annihilates. Whether he’s blasting enemies into mist with his double-barreled palm, shredding them with his chain-gun fingers, or reducing them to chum with his explosive Boom Brew, every encounter is a symphony of destruction.

Oh, and let’s not forget the legend behind that shotgun arm. After a deadly clash with the fabled “Vampire Whale” cost him a limb, Wayne bolted “The Captain’s Ol’ Reliable” straight onto his stump and never looked back. Now, he’s got one goal: to make the Killer Whales regret the day they crossed him.

A treasure chest of features: 

• A brutal, stylized cartoon gore-fest, because who said bloodshed can’t be beautiful?
• A relentlessly chaotic soundtrack, louder than a cannon blast!
• 8 massive, enemy-packed areas across the treacherous Orca Isle.
• Hand-drawn, fully-voiced cinematics that bring Wayne’s unhinged antics to life.
• An arsenal of over-the-top weapons designed for maximum, messy destruction.
• Combat so fierce, the ocean itself might just split in half.

So, what the hell are you waiting for? Those Killer Whale scumbags aren’t gonna explode into a fine red mist on their own. Get ready to blast, burn, and butcher your way to vengeance when Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation docks later this year! 

Captain Wayne is just getting started, so stay tuned for more explosive, blood-soaked updates as we get closer to launch!
