Eldritch Escape changes
Howdy everyone!
We’re excited to announce that a brand-new demo for Eldritch Escape is now available on Steam and is featured during Bullet Fest (June 8) and Steam Next Fest (June 15)
This is your first hands-on taste of the squad-based Extraction Bullet Heaven, set inside a Lovecraftian void where Earth has already been consumed by an ancient eldritch god. A small band of survivors is trapped inside its belly, and the only way forward is to fight, loot, extract, and search for a way out before the Void claims everything.
Play the Demo Now:
What’s New in the Demo?
The new demo introduces multiple playable survivors, new long-term progression systems, boss-dropped Meta Resources, squad synergies, reworked expedition choices, and a brand-new playable character: Neon Ninja.
Build a squad of three survivors, battle through waves of nightmarish creatures, collect Morphite, defeat bosses, gather rare resources, and decide when to extract before your Oxygen runs out. Push too far, and the Void may take everything from you.
Demo Key Features
Neon Ninja - New Playable Character
A fully implemented new survivor with a unique Execute ability, the Rupture debuff mechanic, dedicated SFX/VFX, skins, and an unlock quest.
Team-Up Upgrade Trees - Squad Synergy System
Characters now unlock combo upgrade abilities when paired together. All current survivors have Team-Up potential, rewarding thoughtful squad composition and encouraging experimentation across runs.
New Meta Progression System
A new inventory slot, unlocked via quest, allows players to extract a single Module for research, improving the quality of future drops of that item type. A layer of long-term progression now added to each expedition.
Campsites & Reworked Systems
Mid-run Campsites now let players heal and swap squad leaders at the cost of 2 minutes of Oxygen. Med Packs have been reworked into inventory consumables for greater control, and Places of Power in the Garden now grant permanent Blessings, making them worth seeking out.
