Developer Ludogram has announced a new first-person four-player co-op horror game called Invokyr, in which you and up to three friends enter an abandoned house and dare to play a cursed board game from the 1970s. Every dice roll will result in a new trap, dark twist of the environment, wicked creature, or worse. It’s in development for PC (via Steam).
Ludogram CEO Edouard Gaudel said, “Invokyr is a love letter to the thrill of board games and the fear of the unknown. It’s about camaraderie under pressure, betrayal at the worst possible time, and the creeping dread of a house that’s watching your every move.” Watch the announcement trailer above and check out the first screenshots in the gallery below.
You’ll discover single-use dice scattered throughout the house, and rolling it results in a unique effect that can either help or hurt your chances of survival as you face off against the Gamemaster (voiced by Baldur’s Gate 3’s Amelia Tyler). You can (and probably should) work together, but you can also abandon your friends as well if the going gets tough. Meanwhile, Ludogram promises reasons for replayability in that “every run reveals new secrets, unlockable rewards, and deeper layers of the mystery that binds players to the game.”
You can wishlist Invokyr on Steam if you’re interested.
