The Necromancer’s Tale: A Lovecraftian, Story-Rich Gothic RPG is OUT NOW on Steam

Unleash forbidden magic, command the dead, and manipulate fate in a story-driven game where every choice can have dire consequences.

17th July, 2025 – The wait is over. Psychic Software’s dark, story-driven gothic RPG ‘The Necromancer’s Tale’ is now available worldwide on PC via Steam. Players can finally immerse themselves in the sinister underworld of 18th-century Italy, where necromancy is a dangerous path to power, secrecy, and transformation.

Blending the narrative ambition of Disco Elysium with the tactical design of classic CRPGs, The Necromancer’s Tale invites players to step into the role of a minor noble drawn into the hidden world of death magic and political intrigue. Whether through whispered conversations or forbidden rituals, your every decision shapes not only your fate, but that of the living and the dead.

With over 400,000 words of branching narrative, 180+ unique NPCs, and a faction-based trust system where actions carry lasting consequences, The Necromancer’s Tale offers a rich gothic RPG experience where morality blurs and unseen terrors lurk in the shadows.

“It’s been an incredible journey building this world, one filled with hard work, late nights, and our fair share of madness,” said Game Director Sam Redfern and Marketing Director Kirsty Halloran. “Today, players finally get to step into the shadows we’ve created and write their own dark story. We can’t wait to see where their descent leads.”

The game draws from Lovecraftian themes to craft a world where reality is fragile, unknown horrors lurk just beyond sight, and power always comes with a price.

Key Gameplay Features:

Master the Dark Arts: Command the dead and perform chilling necromantic rites to change your fate, and that of others.

Turn-Based Combat: Deploy your undead minions and allies against supernatural foes, or opt for auto-resolve to focus purely on the story.

Shape Your Story Through Dialogue: Manipulate factions, build (or destroy) alliances, and navigate a world of secrecy and consequence.

A Long-Form Narrative Adventure: 25–50 hours of branching, replayable content shaped by your choices, side quests, and hidden discoveries.
