☢️ What to Expect


This is our first-ever large-scale playtest and an early preview of Macabre, exclusive to Kickstarter backers.
  • Many features are still in development, and performance issues & bugs are expected.
  • Our AI is in its infancy—this test will help us understand how you play the game, so we can begin implementing more advanced monster behaviours.
  • We are a tiny indie team—currently, just three of us working full-time to bring this vision to life.
  • Your honest and constructive feedback will help shape the future of this project—don’t hold back!

It means the world to us. Thank you for being part of this! 🙏️
