What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe the best games are built through collaboration. Early Access gives us the opportunity to work with players to ensure Whispers of the Eyeless delivers a compelling and immersive experience. While the core design is complete, there’s room to evolve and expand based on your feedback. Together, we can shape a journey worthy of the Dead Gods’ high expectations.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our development cycle is planned for around 12 months. With the core systems already built, we’ll focus on expanding content, improving gameplay, and integrating community feedback. That said, the Dead Gods have been known to surprise us, so the timeline may evolve.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version will focus on Fate’s Mirror, a replayable mode designed to showcase the core mechanics of Whispers of the Eyeless. This mode serves as a proving ground for strategy, featuring dynamic challenges and evolving scenarios.

In the full release, players can look forward to the unveiling of the Story Campaign — a more expansive, narrative-driven experience that builds upon the game’s core systems. While much of the campaign is being kept under wraps to preserve its impact, we aim to deliver a deeply immersive journey into the fractured world of Aranthor and its Dead Gods.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the introduction to the Story Campaign, featuring the game tutorial and the opening act to set the stage for your journey. Players can also dive into Fate’s Mirror, which offers two distinct Shards with unique challenges and rulesets to master.

All core mechanics are fully functional, allowing players to unlock and develop their Sanctum in both modes. Fate’s Mirror rewards successful playthroughs with additional starting options, encouraging strategic experimentation and replayability.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We currently have no plans to increase the price after the game leaves Early Access. However, players who join us during Early Access will gain the favor of the Dead Gods — and the opportunity to experience and shape the game’s evolution firsthand.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We actively engage with our community through Discord, Reddit, and the Steam forums. Players can share suggestions, report bugs, and provide feedback in dedicated channels. Regular updates will keep you informed of our progress, including developer videos featuring teasers for upcoming features and insights into our process. Your feedback is invaluable, and the Dead Gods appreciate your contributions — sacrifices not required!”

About This Game

In Whispers of the Eyeless, you are not merely a wanderer — you are a force of change. As the First Prophet, you build a cult, command disciples, and unleash divine power in the name of Wrath, Desire, or Madness. The city of Aranthor is crumbling under intrigue and conflict, its districts filled with peril, secrets, and those who would see you undone.

Turn-Based Combat: Every Battle Leaves a Scar

Victory in Aranthor is about the cost, not just the outcome. Every battle demands strategy, resourcefulness, and a willingness to sacrifice.

  • Plan Every Move – Turn-based combat rewards foresight and precision over brute force.

  • Sanity and Strength – Harness divine power sparingly—each battle leaves its mark on your health and mind.

  • Victory with Consequences – Success grants resources and influence, while failure weakens your grip on the city. Every choice lingers.

Cult Management: Command Loyalty or Invite Betrayal

Your cult is more than devotion—it’s your weapon against the Living Gods. Cultivate it carefully.

  • Recruit and Train – Gather followers with unique traits and train them for the challenges ahead.

  • Assign Missions – Send disciples to weaken rivals, gather resources, and spread your influence.

  • Perform Rituals – Conduct dark ceremonies to gain divine blessings—but beware of unwanted attention.

  • Manage Loyalty – Inspire fervor or risk betrayal as doubts creep through the ranks.

Infiltrate a City on the Brink of Collapse

Aranthor is a city on the brink of collapse, divided by power struggles, hidden dangers, and ancient secrets. Your presence changes everything.

  • Old Town – A bustling underworld where wealth and danger walk hand in hand. Influence here comes at a price.

  • The Dungeons – Beneath the city lies a labyrinth of cursed relics, forgotten knowledge, and lethal traps.

  • The High City – The elite pull the strings of Aranthor’s fate. Outwit, manipulate, and betray to take your place among them.

The Sanctum: Your Hidden Fortress of Power

Beneath Aranthor, hidden from prying eyes, your Sanctum serves as the foundation of your rise to power.

  • Customize and Expand – Unlock and upgrade rooms, from relic vaults to training halls.

  • Strategic Planning – Balance growth and secrecy, for power attracts enemies.

  • Risk and Reward – A grand Sanctum means greater influence — but greater risks.

Fate’s Mirror: A Roguelite Gauntlet of Power and Madness

For those seeking an endless challenge, Fate’s Mirror transforms the game’s mechanics into a roguelite gauntlet.

  • Dynamic Runs – Procedurally generated scenarios demand new strategies with every attempt.

  • Unlockable Shards – Discover powerful modifiers that change how you approach battle and survival.

  • Endless Replayability – Procedural challenges and handcrafted encounters keep the experience fresh.

Forge Your Path—Or Let the City Consume You

Will you lead through faith, deception, or force? Whispers of the Eyeless adapts to your choices, offering deep strategy, narrative-driven decision-making, and a world where every action leaves its mark.

The Dead Gods are waiting. The city watches. The whispers never fade.
