Press release:
Monday, 13th June 2022.
The Wakefield-based (the UK) indie games publisher/developer Team 17 and Limassol-based (Cyprus) indie games developer RocketBrush Studio, are today very happy and excited to announce that their dark fantasy ARPG “The Unliving” is coming to PC via Steam Early Access on October 31sr, 2022.

The Unliving brings together an unholy alliance of roguelite and real-time strategy gameplay to the genre, creating a unique experience that places players in command of their very own army as a powerful necromancer who reanimates fallen foes and commands them to join the ever-growing and sinister horde of undead.

In the procedurally generated environments of The Unliving, death is only the beginning; with each failed attempt the Necromancer returns ever stronger, with new knowledge and skills, and a rekindled desire to bring down his fury on the living.

The Unliving Key features:

Turn enemies into obedient undead minions: Reincarnate fallen foes into loyal soldiers that obey every command
Sacrifice the undead: The Necromancer can sacrifice members of his undead legions to release powerful spells that can change the course of the battle
Enjoy hand-drawn levels: The world of The Unliving is procedurally generated from a selection of meticulously crafted and highly detailed pixel art
Death is only the beginning: Through each permadeath players will be resurrected, keeping their progression and unlocks, each attempt better equipping the Necromancer to take on the challenges that lurk in the shadows
Overcome gruelling bosses: Powerful creatures prowl the wilderness, waiting for their chance to take down the Necromancer, each boasts its own fighting style and abilities, requiring strategic gameplay to overcome
Unlock the secrets of necromancy: Cryptic notes, coerced information, and ancient artifacts will be instrumental in piecing together the truth behind the necromancer’s immortality, and the unnatural abilities he wields

Ahead of its launch into Early Access later this year, The Unliving is now available to Wishlist on Steam. To keep up to date with all the information on The Unliving please follow us on Twitter and Reddit, and join our Discord community.
