Hey everyone!

The void is open.

The first public Steam Playtest for Eldritch Escape is officially LIVE!

From now until May 29, players can descend into corrupted worlds trapped inside the void, build their squad, fight through endless eldritch horrors, extract valuable loot, and try to survive long enough to escape.

Eldritch Escape is a Lovecraftian Extraction Bullet Heaven where Earth has already been consumed by an ancient god. Form a squad of survivors, explore dying worlds, manage your oxygen supply, discover powerful weapons and modules, and decide how deep you're willing to go before everything collapses around you.
