In a bold new venture, Venris, the visionary developer behind the popular Total War: Warhammer III mod, SFO, is making waves with the announcement of his studio’s first standalone title, Whispers of the Eyeless. This dark fantasy RPG, developed by Polish indie team Evil Gingerbread Studios and published by Camlann Games, promises to deliver a uniquely eerie experience inspired by Darkest Dungeon, Loop Hero, Children of Morta, and the haunting tales of Polish folklore.

Set in the grim medieval city of Aranthor, Whispers of the Eyeless casts players as the leader of a dark cult, guiding them through a twisted narrative filled with deep turn-based combat, strategic sanctum upgrades, and the revival of Dead Gods. The game’s blend of occult themes and tactical gameplay creates an atmosphere that is as unsettling as it is captivating.

Fresh off a Kickstarter campaign that raised an impressive 500% of its goal, Whispers of the Eyeless is inching closer to its much-anticipated release. With the game currently in its late stages of development, Evil Gingerbread Studios has hinted at participating in the Steam Next Fest, either in October 2024 or February 2025. The official Early Access release is slated for either Q4 2024 or Q1 2025, offering fans a tantalizing glimpse into this shadowy world.

For those eager to dive deeper into the game, a Splattercat playthrough provides an in-depth look at the mechanics and lore that define Whispers of the Eyeless. Additionally, the recently released “Whispers of the Eyeless in Numbers” gives players a detailed breakdown of what to expect in the upcoming Early Access phase.
