14 DAY TRIAL // Revealed a few months ago, October Night Games will be making its debut on PC this month, as it should considering its name. Developed by indie studio Octobear Night Games, the digital board game steeped in cults, madness, and magic, will launch for PC via Steam on October 28.
If you haven't read our previous report, here is a quick rundown of what October Night Games is all about. First off, you play as cultists with two different objectives. You can either choose to try and save the world or serve it up to the Great Old Ones.
Although a playthrough shouldn't take too much time, the game is quite intense. Players can brew potions, scour the town for infernal ingredients and conduct magic rituals to summon inscrutable entities. At the same time, players need to keep suspicious town folks and creeping monsters at bay.
You can choose to play solo and multiplayer, select your familiar and fight off ghouls, and angry townsfolk using a unique dice combat system. Players can even choose their own character, ranging from a mad monk to vampires, witches, and more. Each class features unique abilities such as astral projection and the ability to drain life.
You just need to be sure that when the Halloween full moon comes in 30 days, your side is victorious in the eternal cosmic battle. It's important to mention that October Night Games combines a procedurally-generated narrative with strategy, social deduction, combat, and occult puzzles.
Not only that, but the game promises unique narrative arcs, which are inspired by the likes of H.P Lovecraft, Bram Stoker, and real-life magic. More importantly, since the combination of characters, familiars, and allegiances is randomly-generated with each game, it allows for multiple replays.
Those interested can wishlist October Night Games on Steam before the game's launch on October 28.
