BARCELONA, Spain – Oct. 17, 2024 – RailGods of Hysterra, a cooperative base-building survival action game set in a twisted Lovecraftian dreamscape from developer Troglobytes Games and first-time publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment, will plunge into darkness on PC via Steam and PlayStation 5.   

Enter a ruined world of ghoulish horrors wrought by the Great Old Ones: ancient cosmic beings beyond human comprehension that took over the world. Survive procedurally generated nightmarish environments, face the wrath of eldritch abominations, and forge a bond with the RailGod – a roaming fortress composed of steel and flesh forged through arcane and obscure rituals.

Climb aboard and craft additional custom train cars for storage, loot, and workbenches. Explore ever-changing hellscapes with axes, firearms, and spells, to battle otherworldly creatures and cultists, or take them prisoner to feed the hungry locomotive. Approach the RailGod’s beating heart to cure accumulated madness and unlock powerful GodKeeper skills.

Collect supplies to fashion tools and weapons. Install upgrades from the engine to the caboose while enhancing abilities to unlock perks and character builds. Fine-tune skill sets for distinct playstyles and eventually take on gargantuan foes from the frayed ends of sanity. Conquer cruel and unforgiving environments alone or with up to four friends via online co-op.

“We’re very excited to announce our first-ever collaborative project as a newly established publisher,” said Digital Vortex CEO and Co-Founder Alex Izotov. “RailGods of Hysterra will be one of many upcoming titles in our expanding catalog.”

Weapons Up, Lights Out: Pitch-Black FPS Blindfire Shadowdrops Onto PC and Xbox as Part of the Xbox Partner Preview 

Developer and publisher Double Eleven drops unique new futuristic neo-noir shooter that takes place entirely in the dark on to Steam, Epic and Xbox today for $8.99, PlayStation version coming this year

Teesside, UK (October 17, 2024) – Blindfire is the newest and darkest FPS to hit Steam and Xbox as the title was shadow-dropped on the Xbox Partner Preview today from publisher and developer Double Eleven (Rust Console Edition, Rimworld Console Edition). A fast-paced streamlined social shooter, Blindfire is full of fast-action in short bursts – but there’s a big twist: you are enclosed in a pitch-black arena with up to seven other players, armed with only a versatile pistol and eight bullets in your magazine (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2854480/Blindfire, $8.99).

Survive Blindfire’s short rounds of play to be the last one standing in free-for-all or team based matches. Alone in the dark, players must dodge an arena filled with traps and obstacles – including UV lights that activate randomly and security gates and sirens strategically placed to trigger audio and visual alarms that give away your position. 

In Blindfire, players must rely on brief flashes of light and sound cues to locate opponents before they locate you – silence is golden, and in this case, silence is the key to survival. But don’t stay still for too long, Blindfire’s anti-camping mechanic triggers a mask flash which will alert other players to your position. Your muzzle flashes lights you up when you fire, so you might want to rethink any “spray and pray” strategies.

Set in the near-future, Blindfire has emerged as an illicit blood sport on the dark web, where the ultra-wealthy bet on the lives of desperate contestants. Contestants are lured in by the promise of immense wealth. Clad in identical, dehumanizing jumpsuits and full face masks, they fight in pitch-black arenas filled with traps, relying on their heightened senses to survive. 

For spectators, the game offers a voyeuristic thrill, watching every desperate move through cutting-edge night vision technology and the ability to tilt the outcome of a match by triggering traps and alarms. Victory brings a bitter choice: escape with the winnings or risk it all for another round.

Blindfire is available today on Steam Early Access, the Epic Game Store and Xbox Game Preview, with PlayStation versions coming this year (including crossplay). Keep up with Blindfire and Double Eleven at the official website: blindfiregame.com or Twitter @LightThemUpGame. Go dark on the official Discord: https://discord.gg/CVdtttQ62f.
