The Necromancer’s Tale has been content-complete since the end of 2024, and since then it’s been all about polishing and beta testing. We’ll be participating in the June edition of Next Fest, and releasing in July.

The game has around 400,000 words of narrative (from 8 writers) and over 180 unique NPCs to meet- each with their own narrative content, hand-drawn portraits and partial voice acting (from 25 voice actors). A complete playthrough ranges from 25-50 hours, depending on how much side content and hidden content you explore, and whether you play with normal (turn based) combat or choose to have combats automatically resolved.

We’re also delighted to have The Necromancer’s Tale picked for the London Games Festival 2025 Official Selection and we’ll be demoing the game there on April 3rd/4th.

Here’s our latest trailer:

I have also put a lot of effort into supporting game controllers and Steam Deck. In fact, the first ever full playthough was done on an X-Box controller.
