Press release:
Stockholm Sweden, May 13th, 2024.
The Stockholm-based (Sweden) indie games developer Black Voyage Games are today very proud and excited to announce that they have just released a time-limited playable demo for their upcoming low-fantasy roguelike/tactical RPG “Lost In The Open” (the said demo is available right now for PC via Steam as a part of Steam’s Endless Replayability Fest).

The playable demo will be open to players until the end of the fest, May 20th and they will have a proper tutorial system.

“Participating in the Endless Replayability Fest will be awesome for visibility and feedback from fans of this genre. We had an excellent event at Turn-Based Thursday Festival and we are hoping for the same now in May!”, stated Black Voyage Games.

Lost In The Open is a masterfully crafted roguelike, low-fantasy tactical RPG that plunges players into the heart of a dark and unforgiving no man’s land. Following an unexpected assassination plot, you find yourself wounded, alone, and on the run across a treacherous soil. Survival in this harsh world is not guaranteed; it requires strategic recruitment, desperate battle, and a journey of sincere repentance. Your King is your most powerful asset but also your greatest liability. How you control the King will determine whether you survive or perish.

Lost In The Open offers a challenging experience where every decision matters. From engaging in risky combat to accepting bribes, each node presents narrative choices that shape your fate. To survive, you’ll need to navigate strategically, defeat enemies, help strangers, and trade with merchants to unlock abilities, upgrade your equipment, and recruit loyal bodyguards. Are you ready for rigorous combat where you determine the course of the adventure?

About Black Voyage Games
Embark on a voyage through pitch black darkness with Black Voyage Games: Where atmosphere meets honest, gritty play.

Started in 2021, Black Voyage Games is an international indie game studio. The goal of the studio is to take players on a voyage through the pitch-black night. As a result, our games are immersed in a dark, gritty, and ambivalent atmosphere. Our mission is to evoke thought and emotion by exposing players to tough decisions and overwhelming odds. We want players to immerse themselves deeply and attempt to sail on, despite the circumstances. Our studio is completely against predatory monetization strategies, as seen in big studios and countless mobile games. Part of our goal is to develop games with depth and story to make a positive impact on people, rather than fueling issues like addiction and gambling. Releasing Premium games only (not F2P or P2W) is a must for all BVG games.

“Lost in the Open” is our first title and an upcoming game scheduled to launch on Steam in 2024. It is a turn-based tactical RPG where you scramble to escape from an assassination attempt in an atmospheric, low-fantasy, procedurally generated medieval world.

“Lost In The Open” can be described as Battle Brothers meets FTL: Faster Than Light, with art style inspiration from real medieval art. A playable demo is available on Steam today.
