Enter the Nightmare: RailGods of Hysterra Launches First Steam Playtest
The wait is over for fans of dark, twisted worlds. Developer Troglobytes Games and publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment have unveiled the first playtest for RailGods of Hysterra, a cooperative base-building survival action game set in a horrifying Lovecraftian dreamscape. Aspiring dreamers can dive into this eerie experience on Steam.
A Journey Through Madness
RailGods of Hysterra thrusts players into a decaying realm shaped by the nightmares of Dreamers—human recruits handpicked by none other than H.P. Lovecraft. In this world, eldritch horrors and malevolent Great Old Ones roam freely, and survival hinges on teamwork, strategy, and sheer willpower.
At the heart of the experience is the RailGod, a grotesque fusion of a steam locomotive and an ancient cosmic entity. Acting as both a transport and a moving base, the RailGod evolves as players feed it the remains of defeated foes. This monstrous train becomes the key to navigating the dark terrain and fending off the relentless horrors.
