Releasing a spooky game on Halloween? Yeah, that makes sense, which is why French developer Chillin’ Wolf is releasing NecroBoy Path To Evilship on Halloween. The silly, spooky, and logically stupefying puzzle adventure game will release on October 31st, 2022, on Steam!
Developed by the one-man Chillin’ Wolf team of Ulysse Frediere, with a bit of help on music from Nicolas “Kerch” Kerbourc’h and art from Arthur Jacob-Cavarec, the spooky and funny story of Necroby. A lonely, gifted, megalomaniacal (but not too bright), and rather dramatic necromancer ostracized from birth due to his powers and his quest to gain the powers of the infamous NecroMan. And to then use those powers to rule over those that ignored and shunned him. Now if he could only figure out the how and then what…
To gain these momentous powers, players must guide NecroBoy to delve into the treacherous tomb of the late NecroMan. Within the labyrinth tomb, players will summon the souls of the departed to become NecroBoy’s minions. Order your minions to perform various actions, such as flipping switches, pushing blocks, moving platforms, and many more gimmicks to solve all the puzzles each level holds to proceed to the next level.
Beware, because as you proceed, your journey will become ever perilous and frustrating as the stages and puzzles become larger and far more difficult. Traps, fire, bosses and frustration, await players. The answers are not always straightforward and require a good amount of logical thinking and looking out for clues.
Even in the dark, there is still hope. Pay close attention to the early stages as NecroBoy unlocks his various powers that are essential to clearing puzzles and learning how best to command your minions. Our awkward hero is guided by his most loyal albeit reluctant minion, Lackey, a slightly different minion who possesses a greater intellect. As they explore even deeper, the pair grow closer as Lackey at least attempts to impart wisdom and guidance upon his master, but Lackey himself may hold a secret of his own.
What would a dungeon be without secrets as well? Secret areas and a great mystery. The perfect combination for a Halloween romp! Can you reach the deep dark depths of the dungeon? Can you clear the secret rooms? And just how fast are you? NecroBoy is bound to have players laughing and snickering like crazy while crying and screaming in frustration. A true test of determination, are you ready to become the next lord of Necromancers?
What is Halloween without some games with a lot of tricks and treats and hearty evil laughs? NecroBoy Path To Evilship looks like it could fill that Halloween-themed game void in your life.
