The Deadly Path News

Hey Penitents,

The gods are watching — and so is something… older.

We’re excited to announce that The Deadly Path is part of Lovecraftian Days 2025, a celebration of strange horrors, unknowable forces, and darkly atmospheric games inspired by cosmic dread.

If your descent into the underworld hasn’t been bleak enough, now’s the perfect time to dive in. Between the unforgiving gods, twisted trials, and a cursed realm that seems to hate you personally - there’s plenty of eldritch energy in store.

Check out the full Lovecraftian Days event on Steam to discover other strange and terrifying titles, and maybe find a few new nightmares to love.
