We were at Tacticon last year to announce our second free DLC, Seekers of Knowledge, but this year, we have something a little more prestigious to reveal: details about our upcoming expansion and a trailer showcasing it. For full details of the event, you can visit Tacticon’s website here. The convention is hosted by Indie strategy and tactics game publishers Firesquid and Hooded Horse and will run between the 11th and 15th of May. This week we have good news on multiple fronts we will be able to reveal our expansion very soon (read on for more information) and we are pleased to announce that Lost Pilgrims Studio will again be participating in Tacticon, an annual digital convention hosted on Steam that celebrates strategy games from a wide array of talented developers. Vagrus: The Riven Realms will get a new expansion: Expansion Reveal but something bad happened, and the world looks like it does now." "The planet, at one point, was a perfect place, where there was no pollution, and there was no hunger and the world's problems were solved. "There are a lot of things that are related to ecological storytelling, and the current status of the earth's ecology," Miasma Chronicles' lead producer Mark Parker says, while showing me the game in action. Set in New America, some 200 years in the future, Miasma Chronicles is clearly engaged with the climate crisis and late capitalism of today's world. Additionally, Elvis has use of that mysterious powerglove, left to him by his mother, that can control the Miasma. As the brothers make their way through the world, they will be joined by a motley crew of outlandish characters. Together, this duo will have to solve the mystery of the Miasma, a strange entity that I'm told "threatens the last vestiges of humanity and turns all who come in contact with it into barbaric corruptions of their former selves". At the very start of the story, players meet Elvis, a young man brought to the mining town of Sedentary, Kentucky as a baby, where he was left by his mother.Įlvis has a 'brother', a robot named Diggs, who was reprogrammed by Elvis' mother before she left her son in his care. Like Mutant Year Zero, the studio's acclaimed game from 2018, it's another turn-based tactical RPG. If that isn’t a mood, then I don’t know what is.Įurogamer has collected some info about Miasma Chronicles: Miasma Chronicles wants to be bigger and better than Mutant Year Zeroīearded Ladies describes Miasma Chronicles as a "story of chosen family, mutant killers, sweeping post-apocalyptic American landscapes and powergloves". The rest of the segment cuts to what I’ve been gnawing at the bit to see: music! To be more exact, we’re treated to a soliloquy from Grace where she likens herself to a boat with no oar, lost at sea and unsure if there’s something wrong with the world, or just wrong with her. Even in a room full of people, Grace is alone and adrift. We see Freddie try to reach out to Grace, because there is a clear emotional and logical disconnect in our protagonist – one that feels hauntingly real to witness – but to no avail. They’re looking for someone to complete their merry band, but nobody seems to be making the cut. The first segment of the demo introduces players to the protagonist Grace (Laura Bailey), a 20s-something woman in a band alongside her best friend Freddie (Janina Gavankar). The long answer is that Stray Gods is a musical that looks like it will pull at the heartstrings, embrace its campy side, and give us a video game we won’t soon forget. The short answer is: yes, this combines all my interests – video games and musicals. With the game demo released last week, I sat down to see whether my expectations would be met.
