More than meets the eye
When I saw this trailer forEldritchearlier in the week, I wasn’t convinced—not enough to write a post here, anyway. After spending some time with an alpha build of this first-person Lovecraftian roguelike from Minor Key Games, however, I had to fire up the ol’ editor.
I’ve been struggling to figure out what, exactly, sold me on the game that wasn’t present in the video. Something aboutEldritchjustfeelsright. The developers, who are twin brothers that previously worked on games likeBorderlandsandBioShock 2, say they were inspired by the works of Looking Glass Studios. I was on aSystem Shockkick recently — that might be it.
Pre-orders forEldritchare priced at $15 and will include beta access later this month, but if you’d rather wait this one out, there’s aSteam Greenlight pagethat could use your support. The full release is happening on June 09, 2025. Also, as cute as some of those enemy designs might initially appear, the ungodly sounds they emit are terrifying.
