Press release:
Oceanside, California, March 17, 2021.
The US-based indie games publisher V Publishing and the Hungary-based indie games developer GrapeOcean Technologies, today announced with great excitement and pleasure that the full version of their isometric fantasy CRPG “Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness” is now available for PC via Steam and GOG 29.99 Euros.

Developed by GrapeOcean Technologies and published by V Publishing, the old-school project inspired by the likes of Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale has increased in size and scope since it entered Early Access in August 2021, with development beginning back in 2015.

Having delivered over 20 huge updates that have built upon and significantly improved almost all areas of the game, including Mac and Linux support, Black Geyser has made sweeping changes in recent months. From vastly improved loading times, to clearer player tutorials, new zones, enemies and questlines, the small development team have ensured they’ve focused on addressing and reacting to key player feedback

Launching with a brand new trailer to showcase just some of the game’s locations and combat encounters, Black Geyser features challenging real time tactical combat with pause, over 300,000 words of dialogue, deep lore, and memorable companions. Players are free to build their own hero from five different races and 13 class types, while exploring an open world filled with unique enemies and bosses.

With a unique Greed mechanic that impacts on those around you, players will need to recruit characters with unique personalities, decide their party formations and equipment before explore a land ravaged by civil war and a mysterious curse. Your choices, good or evil, will decide the fate of the Kingdom of Isilmerald.

Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness has officially launched onto Steam and GoG today.

Key features:
– A huge world map with 2 countries (Isilmerald and Northern Realm), dozens of districts, settlements, villages and towns.
