But that’s not all! This year’s Lovecraftian Days also offered a sneak-glimpse at Decadent, an upcoming story-driven FPS from Fulqrum Publishing and Incantation Games.
Decadent is a story-driven first-person shooter that combines atmospheric exploration, Lovecraftian horror and expansive gameplay mechanics into an immersive experience - making the player feel a unique sense of loneliness in a dangerous land where time stands still.
You are John Lorn, a royal explorer and a veteran of the Great War, turned decadent occultist. As a result of a traumatic experience during one of your occult experiments, you become a host for a mysterious parasite. Travelling to the Arctic one last time, you follow the traces of a lost Miskatonic University expedition. As your courage and sanity are pushed to the limit, you must learn to walk the line between good and evil and discover just how much grief and suffering you are ready to cause to save someone you hold dear.
This gameplay teaser offers just a quick look at the horrors that await you in Decadent - but keep your eyes peeled on May 6, when we will be revealing the full gameplay trailer!
Decadent is still early in development, and we’ll be able to share more information on the upcoming Lovecraftian FPS further down the line. In the meantime, Decadent is available to wishlist on Steam, where you can follow along with development updates. The game is set to launch in 2025 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GoG and other digital stores), Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
