After the success of their open-world dark fantasy RPG Dread Delusion, indie studio Lovely Hellplace is once again teaming up with horror publisher DreadXP for their next title, Entropy. Scheduled to launch on Steam in 2026, Entropy takes the retro-inspired aesthetic of its predecessor and fuses it with tactical, turn-based combat reminiscent of classic JRPGs.
Entropy Announcement Trailer
A Dying World on the Brink
In this bleak setting, humanity clings to survival in scattered settlements. No cataclysm shattered the world β instead, the slow crawl of time and an inexplicable infertility have pushed civilization to collapse. The lands are haunted by accursed creatures, and the towns that remain are oppressive, squalid places ruled by tyrants.
The story begins in the town of Draenog, where your theatre performance is abruptly cut short by a demon attack. Armed only with a wooden prop sword, you and your troupe must fight back and survive. From there, players embark on a dangerous quest across a vast world, forging their path through towns, battlefields, and the horrors that infest the dying lands.
