GDYNIA - 24th October 2023 - Event Horizon, the visionary development team behind cult hit Tower of Time, launches its brand new CRPG, Dark Envoy, on Steam. Players can escape to the lush dangerous world of Jäan and by themselves or with friends in online co-op.
Dark Envoy offers long-time fans of classic RPGs, and those new to the genre, a fresh world to explore with a party of relic hunters. After a chain of seemingly unrelated tragedies, siblings Kaela and Malakai set out on a mission to pursue the truth and face off with their newfound destiny. The story will lead you through four action-packed acts in which you will be able to steer the plot according to your choices. They will impact the world, the path you take, as well as the final outcome of your journey.
"Our team has always been deeply passionate about CRPGs and committed to enhancing the beloved classics we hold dear," stated Krzysztof Monkiewicz, CEO and Founder of Event Horizon. "Our journey began with our debut title, 'Tower of Time,' and over the past five years, we've dedicated ourselves to pushing the boundaries with 'Dark Envoy.' We've delved deeper into RPG systems, created more unique and distinctive classes, and offered players extensive customization options and diverse loot. Our overarching goal was to craft an innovative, 'sandboxy' RPG experience where players are encouraged to be creative and experiment, forging unique and overpowered combinations. As an independent team, it's been a challenging but fulfilling journey, and we couldn't be more excited to launch the game today."
