Psychic Software is inviting players into the eerie depths of 18th-century Italy with a freshly updated demo of its upcoming gothic RPG, The Necromancer’s Tale, now live on Steam for PC. This isometric, story-heavy RPG mixes rich narrative exploration with the chilling reality of forbidden magic—necromancy isn’t just a skill here, it’s the very soul of the experience.
In this dark tale, you step into the shoes of a minor noble slowly pulled into the shadows of dark magic. Unlike traditional RPGs, The Necromancer’s Tale transforms necromancy into an immersive descent into secrecy, corruption, and the high-stakes politics of power. Drawing heavy inspiration from games like Disco Elysium and Pillars of Eternity, the game dives deep into moral decay and the consequences of playing god with life and death.

An Unflinching Look at Power and Sacrifice
With over 400,000 words of branching dialogue and 180+ unique NPCs, choices matter—what you say and do directly influences relationships with factions and characters. Trust is fragile, and betrayal can be just a word or action away.
The game’s world is heavily influenced by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, blending historical realism with dark horror. Expect creeping dread, moral ambiguity, and twisted secrets that fester beneath the surface of a society in decline.
