Project Title:
Akolyta
Description:
Akolyta is a story‑driven psychological horror game set in a decaying industrial city where faith, science, and human desperation collide. You play as Marshall, a former detective pulled back into a world he tried to escape when a series of ritualistic murders begins to mirror a case that destroyed his life. The deeper you investigate, the more you realize the killings are not isolated — they are part of a growing cult movement that worships something ancient, hungry, and disturbingly human.
Explore abandoned factories, forgotten tunnels, and derelict districts swallowed by corruption. Every location hides clues, memories, and twisted remnants of the cult’s influence. Your choices shape Marshall’s sanity, relationships, and the truth he uncovers — but some truths refuse to stay buried.
Akolyta blends cinematic storytelling, immersive first‑person exploration, and survival‑horror tension. You’ll gather evidence, solve environmental puzzles, and confront entities that defy logic. As the cult’s grip tightens, reality fractures, and Marshall must face not only the horrors stalking the city… but the darkness he carries within.
Akolyta is currently available in Early Access, which means the core experience is playable, but the game is still evolving. Players can expect ongoing updates as we expand environments, refine mechanics, add new story content, and polish visuals and audio. Early Access allows us to build the game together with the community — your feedback directly shapes features, pacing, and quality‑of‑life improvements. While some systems are still in development and certain areas may be rough around the edges, our goal is to deliver a transparent, collaborative development process as we work toward the full release.
