In the dark role-playing game Asthenia, gamers will immerse themselves in a decaying otherworldly realm
The dark role-playing game Asthenia has received its debut trailer, showcasing oppressive locations and terrifying enemies. The solo developer also shared what awaits gamers on their journey through his dark universe.
In Asthenia, players will become an ordinary person thrown into a decaying otherworldly realm, filled with twisted enemies. Amidst scarce resources and constant danger, the protagonist will have to explore the oppressive surroundings and collect powerful artifacts.
The combat system focuses on using the Ancient Gauntlet — a primal relic that serves as both a weapon and a tool for interacting with the environment.
The author revealed that he drew inspiration from "Resident Evil 7," "Silent Hill," "Outlast," and "Dark Souls," and also infused Asthenia with personal experiences.
"I wanted to create a world where discoveries were earned, not given to the player. Every action had real weight," noted the developer.
He promises a dark, detailed world, a free-form exploration system without hints or markers, three endings, and a deep atmosphere.
Asthenia is in development for PC.
