This week Psychic Software, creators of ‘The Necromancer’s Tale’ published their final roadmap to game launch. The much-anticipated story-rich RPG involves mastering the rituals of an ancient spell-book and raising an undead army to march against your enemies.
“This week we provided our final detailed roadmap to our fans and supporters. We also expressed a huge thank you to the team who have at this point implemented over 350,000 words in the game narrative, over 180 unique NPCs, a robust combat system, and an incredible city and environs” said Sam Redfern, Game Architect. “We want to ensure that we release the game to our highest achievable standard, and although we are pretty much at content complete at this stage, we are planning balancing playtesting February to May 2025 to ensure trust and tension systems, skill-checks and combats are well calibrated”
The Necromancer’s Tale is planned to be in the Steam NextFest of June 2025 with the game release aligned with this festival. Unlike many other RPGs, in The Necromancer’s Tale you aren’t playing a hero saving the world: instead, you are communicating with the realm of the dead and struggling with your descent into madness as you are gradually lured into the world of necromancy while trying to solve your father’s murder. The deep and rich content and many side-quests will keep players engaged as they progress through secrecy, diplomacy, blackmail, coercion & seduction until ready to reveal themselves. Players can play the demo now on Steam and review gaming footage on YouTube
