What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Arcanum is an exhilarating experience and our first game as a studio.
We need your feedback to help us balance, polish and refine the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“This will entirely depend on the feedback we receive. Our goal is to release the full version as soon as we feel the game is polished and completed. Ideally before end of 2025”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In addition to bug fixing, improvements and polishing our core gameplay and the users experience, we plan on adding more maps, enemies, customizability, cosmetics and much more will be introduced gradually during our Early Access phase.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access build will include most of the main features and be fully playable. Players will indeed be tested with evidence collection, maze mapping and escaping from an AI that is constantly hunting you down. Choose between 8 characters and enjoy the horrors of Arcanum. Much more will be added throughout the Early Access phase such as more enemies, more maps, customizable characters and cosmetics and much more.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will not change during Early Access (excluding discounts) however we will be increasing the price for the fully released version.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We currently use our Discord server as our primary ways to talk to our community. We will also look forward to reading your feedback via our Steam forums and Community Hub. To access our Discord please visit the invitation link location on the Store Page.”

About This Game



Arcanum is a online co-op survival horror game unlike any other which hopes to immerse you in
sheer dread as you learn the secrets held inside.

Your role is to investigate strange rumours about the previous residents, collect any evidence
and escape whilst you can...

You and up to 3 friends can join forces in a co-op experience where you will find clues, evidence
and solve the mystery of Arcanum, but beware, you are not alone...

Quick Facts

  • Co-operative Online For 1-4 Players
  • Unique AI which gets more difficult the more you progress
  • Beautifully detailed environments
  • Gorgeous volumetric lighting makes for an immersive atmosphere
  • Custom ambience improves the horror factor and adds a spine-chilling experience.
  • Much more content on the way, including maps, monsters and puzzles!

Gameplay

Whilst investigating, you will be collecting any evidence you can and trying to escape
the fiendish entities that lurk inside... Arcanum aims to be an all new
immersive horror experience so running around, making lots of noise isn't always recommended!

Teamwork

Whilst it's important to work together as a team whilst navigating,
sometimes your best option is split up and find the required items as soon as possible before the entity finds you...Hiding is not an option as the entities that lurk inside can open doors search for players
and will not stop looking for those who disturb their rest...
