[h3]New playtest of Pool of Madness for Lovecraftian Days 2025[/h3]



One year ago, we unveiled our new project - a Lovecraftian roguelite pool - during Lovecraftian Days. Today, as LD 2025 launches, we'd like to invite you to the latest playtest. Among other things, it
features an item viewing mechanics connected to the game's story.

Give it a try, even if you don't fancy yourself a pool player - it's a best of its own! Simply click on download the demo to play.

Some of the features:

• a short introductory ritual for new players
  
  
  
  
• initial foundations for a boss fight (early WIP) and ritual progression mechanics
  
  
  
  
• item viewing mechanics and first interactive items (look around the room from time to time)
  
  
  
  
• many under-the-hood improvements and bugfixes
  
  
  
  

Thank you to Fulqrum Publishing for shining a light on our games and charity efforts!



As always, all feedback is welcome - leave us a comment on our Steam forums or
discord - it will help us improve the game!

Occultists! We've just released a limited playtest of our roguelite combining pool and cosmic horror.



It features single-player and coop modes, made especially for Steam Couch Co-op Fest!

Think Inscryption meets Diablo/PoE meets a twisted game of pool. A unique experience with lots of mystery, emergent gameplay and endless replayability. That's the goal for the full version of the game.

While this is the first stab at a PoM multiplayer mode and we expect A LOT to change, we feel it's already fun and we could really use your feedback as we continue building Pool of Madness into our dream game.

This is definitely one of our favourite projects we've worked on and the most unique one, so it's great to see players already appreciating the core features!







PS It works great on Steam Deck!








Changes from the previous limited playtest include:
- a hotseat coop mode featuring a new totem
- new powerups
- completely new UI (still WIP, similarly to other features)
- premium pockets (that will feature increasing modifiers later down the line)
- many bugfixes






We're currently focusing on making the gameplay as much fun as possible, testing out different ideas and features, as well as working on the story in parallel. This is why these imperfect playtests are so important, as they allow us to gather feedback from players around the world while the game is still in development.

Things will be rough for a while in terms of the overall presentation, until we're satisfied with the gameplay part and implement & test various features, then we'll begin focusing more on the audiovisual side of things.

Thank you for taking the time to check out this crazy abomination our eldritch baby of a game! We think we have something really special here - we'd love you to help us shape it!

After releasing Dagon: CE on consoles, we've jumped into Pool of Madness and played around with some new things, including new mechanics. Long story short, this resulted in the Halloween Demo of our Lovecraftian roguelite pool.



Make sure to give it a spin while it's available, even if you're more into cosmic dread than shooting balls - it's really fun even in its early state and has that spooky/cosy vibe that's perfect for Halloween!

Enjoy!

Fellow scholars of all things forbidden!

"Dagon: by H. P. Lovecraft" turned out to be very successful, with over 1,700,000 downloads on Steam and 95% positive reviews. When the war broke out in Ukraine, we decided to donate all of our proceeds generated by the game and DLCs to humanitarian aid organisations, such as Voices of Children.

To thank the players for their support in this endeavour and all the positive responses, we've decided to create a brand new DLC - What The Moon Brings.

Today it premieres on consoles as a timed exclusive, together with the base game and all the DLCs, in the eldritch form of Dagon: Complete Edition. You can get it in the official shops:

If you're a console player, consider grabbing a copy! And to answer a question we've been often asked on our social media: if you prefer to game on PC, we plan to release What The Moon Brings there as well at some point in the future.

We've always received a lot of support from this community, even before the initial launch, when we gathered feedback to improve the first raw versions, so thank you and hope you'll like the new DLC!
