Press release:
Tuesday, 10th October 2023,
The Wakefield-based (the UK) indie games publisher and developer Team 17 and Limassol-based (Cyprus) indie games developer RocketBrush Studio, are today very happy and thrilled to announce that the full version (v1.0) of their dark fantasy ARPG “The Unliving”, is coming to PC (via Steam) on October 26th, 2023.

The Unliving follows a vengeful Necromancer sweeping relentlessly across the land, smiting his enemies and reanimating fallen foes in pursuit of an antidote to restore his broken soul.

Since its launch into Steam Early Access in November last year, The Unliving has received a series of updates and quality of life improvements, including a new game mode, requested quality of life features that streamline gameplay, and optimisation of the Horde mechanics.

For full patch notes and update information, please visit The Unliving’s Steam page.

The Unliving Key Features:

· Turn enemies into unique undead minions: Each fallen foe has an undead counterpart that the Necromancer can summon to his undead army

· 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 chunks

· Death is only the beginning: Through each permadeath players will be resurrected, keeping their progression. Gathered necromantic resources can be used to restore the citadel hub world and power up the Necromancer

· Overcome blessed bosses: Powerful creatures are the last hope of living to take down the Necromancer, each boasts its own fighting style and abilities

· Unlock the secrets of necromancy: Meet members of your own necromantic cult, and interrogate enemies to piece together the truth behind the necromancer’s immortality, and the unnatural abilities he wields
