Deorum Dives into Deep Ones: An Incremental Horror Unveiling?
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
IGN South Africa unveiled the announcement trailer for Deorum, an upcoming active incremental game that daringly fuses its click-based progression with a dark, Lovecraftian horror narrative. It's a genre mash-up that has me buzzing with curiosity and a healthy dose of 'what-if' speculation.
Right then, lads and lasses of the digital realm, Jeff here, peeking through the spacetime ripples again with something genuinely... curious. IGN South Africa just dropped the announcement trailer for a game called Deorum, and my brain's doing a little jig trying to parse the genre combo.
We're talking about an *active incremental game*. Yeah, you heard that right. But then they've gone and slammed a full-on *horror Lovecraftian theme and narrative* on top of it. Bloody hell, that's a brew I didn't see coming! Could we be clicking away at elder gods, slowly driving ourselves mad for stat boosts? It's like finding a pristine copy of the Necronomicon, only to realise it's actually a 'choose your own adventure' where you mostly just tap 'Praise Shub-Niggurath' until your thumb gives out.
The trailer itself, as spotted by our mates over at IGN South Africa (cheers for the heads-up, by the way!), is an early peek. It's got me wondering how they'll blend the mundane rhythm of incremental progression with the cosmic, sanity-shattering dread of Lovecraft. Fair dinkum, this could either be a stroke of genius, offering a unique, slow-burn descent into madness, or a tentacle-y mess where the horror gets lost in the clicking.
While the announcement doesn't dive into the nitty-gritty of its tech stack – because, you know, it's just an announcement! – this genre mash-up certainly gets the gears turning. Imagine 'earning' sanity shards or 'discovering' rare eldritch artifacts that have verifiable ownership. Just a thought, mate. It's a curious brew, this one, and I'm genuinely intrigued to see if Deorum can pull off this genre mash-up without tearing a hole in reality... or at least, without making us wish it had.
