Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe the best games are built through collaboration. Early Access gives us the opportunity to work with players to ensure Whispers of the Eyeless delivers a compelling and immersive experience. While the core design is complete, there’s room to evolve and expand based on your feedback. Together, we can shape a journey worthy of the Dead Gods’ high expectations.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our development cycle is planned for around 12 months. With the core systems already built, we’ll focus on expanding content, improving gameplay, and integrating community feedback. That said, the Dead Gods have been known to surprise us, so the timeline may evolve.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version will focus on Fate’s Mirror, a replayable mode designed to showcase the core mechanics of Whispers of the Eyeless. This mode serves as a proving ground for strategy, featuring dynamic challenges and evolving scenarios.

In the full release, players can look forward to the unveiling of the Story Campaign — a more expansive, narrative-driven experience that builds upon the game’s core systems. While much of the campaign is being kept under wraps to preserve its impact, we aim to deliver a deeply immersive journey into the fractured world of Aranthor and its Dead Gods.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the introduction to the Story Campaign, featuring the game tutorial and the opening act to set the stage for your journey. Players can also dive into Fate’s Mirror, which offers two distinct Shards with unique challenges and rulesets to master.

All core mechanics are fully functional, allowing players to unlock and develop their Sanctum in both modes. Fate’s Mirror rewards successful playthroughs with additional starting options, encouraging strategic experimentation and replayability.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We currently have no plans to increase the price after the game leaves Early Access. However, players who join us during Early Access will gain the favor of the Dead Gods — and the opportunity to experience and shape the game’s evolution firsthand.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We actively engage with our community through Discord, Reddit, and the Steam forums. Players can share suggestions, report bugs, and provide feedback in dedicated channels. Regular updates will keep you informed of our progress, including developer videos featuring teasers for upcoming features and insights into our process. Your feedback is invaluable, and the Dead Gods appreciate your contributions — sacrifices not required!”

About This Game

Whispers of the Eyeless is a dark fantasy strategy RPG where your decisions shape the fractured city of Aranthor. Infiltrate its dangerous districts, command divine power, and grow a cult to restore the Dead Gods — Wrath, Desire, and Madness — or let ambition and chaos consume everything.

TACTICAL TURN-BASED COMBAT

Victory in Aranthor is about the cost, not just the outcome. Every encounter tests your resourcefulness and strategy as you balance ambition with survival.

  • Plan Every Move: Engage in tactical, turn-based combat that rewards foresight and precision.

  • Sanity and Strength: Harness the power of the Dead Gods carefully — each battle takes a toll on your health and mind.

  • Victory with Consequences: Triumph brings resources and influence, while failure weakens your grip on the city. Every choice has lasting effects.

INFILTRATE ARANTHOR AND COMMAND ITS FATE

Aranthor is a city on the brink of collapse, divided by power struggles, hidden dangers, and ancient secrets. As the First Prophet, infiltrate its fractured districts to gather resources, forge alliances, bring about the rise of the Dead Gods.

  • Old Town: The crowded streets offer resources and connections, but suspicion grows fast. Balance opportunity with caution as you expand your influence.

  • The Dungeons: Beneath the city lies a labyrinth of peril and reward. Unearth cursed relics and forbidden knowledge, but beware of ambushes and traps.

  • The High City: Aranthor’s elite hold sway over its future. Outwit and manipulate them, but tread carefully — betrayal is the price of power.

FATE'S MIRROR: A ROGUELITE CHALLENGE

For players seeking endless challenges, Fate’s Mirror distills the game’s mechanics into high-stakes roguelite gameplay.

  • Dynamic Runs: Procedurally generated scenarios ensure fresh challenges every time.

  • Unlockable Shards: Earn powerful modifiers that redefine strategies and unlock new playstyles.

  • Endless Replayability: Procedural and handcrafted elements combine for unique, ever-evolving challenges.

GROW YOUR CULT: GUIDE YOUR FOLLOWERS

Your followers are your greatest weapon against the Living Gods. As the First Prophet, recruit disciples, train them, and lead them to fulfill the will of the Dead Gods.

  • Recruit and Train: Expand your cult by bringing in believers, each with unique traits. Train them to face the challenges ahead.

  • Assign Missions: Send disciples into Aranthor to gather resources, weaken rivals, or spread your influence.

  • Perform Rituals: Unite your cult in rituals to gain blessings from the Dead Gods. Their faith powers your rise — but draws the attention of the Living Gods.

  • Manage Loyalty: Keep your followers inspired, or risk dissent spreading through your ranks.

BUILD YOUR SANCTUM: THE HEART OF YOUR POWER

Hidden beneath Aranthor, your Sanctum is the center of your operations. Design and expand this base to amplify your strength and outmaneuver your enemies.

  • Customize and Expand: Unlock and upgrade rooms like the Reliquary for relics or the Hall of Faith for training disciples. Customize your Sanctum to reflect your chosen god — Wrath, Desire, or Madness.

  • Strategic Planning: Grow your base purposefully. Every addition offers new tools and abilities, from crafting cursed relics to conducting powerful rituals.

  • Risk and Reward: A larger Sanctum grants greater power, but risks exposure to the Living Gods.

PLAY YOUR WAY

Whether you’re drawn to deep narrative exploration, tactical combat, or cult management, Whispers of the Eyeless adapts to your playstyle. Adjustable difficulty ensures a rewarding experience for both newcomers and seasoned strategists.
