What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Expedition to Madness is more than just a game, it’s the starting point of a larger universe based on Emily’s Chronicles, a sci-fi horror novel written by the game’s creator.

Early Access gives us the chance to grow this project together with the community, improving not only the survival and co-op gameplay, but also the world, the lore, and the story behind it.

With the core game systems already in place, Early Access allows us to test balance, gather feedback on procedural content, as every expedition is different, and make sure the Lovecraftian atmosphere is as scary, mysterious, and exciting as it should be.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan for Expedition to Madness to remain in Early Access for 12-16 months, depending on feedback, feature development, and narrative refinement.”

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

“How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
The full release will expand on:

- Additional playable dimensions (15 in total projected which will be released in batches during the Early Access cycle).

- Deeper narrative content and the final conclusion to Emily’s story, fully integrated with all playable dimensions.

- 2 Big Updates: Dimensional Collapse and The Eldritch Geometry,

- Enhanced polish, optimization, and quality-of-life features (targeting Steam Deck).

- Steam achievements, leaderboards and cloud saves.

- Full prestige system.

- Drone cosmetics.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access release is a fully playable and content-rich experience, including:

- 5 core dimensions, inspired by Lovecraft’s "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward", "At the Mountains of Madness", "The Shadow Over Innsmouth", "The Whisperer in Darkness", and "The Colour Out of Space"

- Multiple parallel dimensions each, 3 negative dimensions, and over 100 procedural unique events.

- Encounters with 5 major Lovecraftian entities and dozens of minor ones.

- 3 mysterious artifacts, 15 relics and 2 full Tartot collectible card decks!

- All player's gear and tools already included in the game.

- 1–4 player online co-op, with proximity voice chat, full Steam lobbies integration

- T.O.D.D., your helper drone

- Player progression systems including ranking, prestige, and expedition loadouts

- Navigation systems and full expedition planning tools

- The game is stable, replayable, and showcases the core gameplay loop: Explore, Extract, Escape.”

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

“Yes. The Early Access version will be priced slightly lower to reflect its in-development status. As we add more content and features, the price may increase for the full release”

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

“Actively engage with players on Steam forums and Discord once Early Access is out.

About This Game

Expedition to Madness is a 1–4 player co-op Lovecraftian investigation horror game where you enter unstable dimensions, study impossible phenomena, identify the entity haunting each world, and decide how much longer you dare remain.

You are part of an inter-dimensional expedition searching for your missing partner, Emily, lost somewhere beyond the folds of reality. Each mission sends you through a wormhole into a corrupted world filled with signs, anomalies, and ancient intelligences that do not want to be understood.

INVESTIGATE

This is not just about survival.
Study the environment. Track manifestations. Gather clues. Compare evidence. Determine what kind of cosmic presence has taken hold before it is too late.

Every dimension hides its own logic, its own threats, and its own truths. Misread the signs, and your team may not make it back.

EXPLORE

Traverse unstable wormholes into terrifying parallel dimensions inspired by Lovecraft’s most iconic stories. From the icy ruins of At the Mountains of Madness to the cursed coastlines of Innsmouth, each mission takes you deeper into a multiverse of horrors and hidden truths.

EXTRACT

Collect primordial energy, recover ancient artifacts, and piece together clues from Emily’s scattered journal. But be warned: unspeakable entities hunt in the dark, and the deeper you go, the harder it is to return.

ESCAPE

Survive the unknown. Stabilize the wormhole. Discover what happened to her and escape with what you found before the dimension collapses around you.

Some entities can be avoided. Some can be resisted. Some should never be approached at all.

  • 1–4 Player Online Co-op: nvestigate alone or with up to three other explorers in tense cooperative expeditions. Every run is unique.

  • Extraction Under Pressure: Balance greed and survival as you collect primordial energy and artifacts before your expedition falls apart.

  • Narrative Discovery: Uncover Emily’s fate through journal entries, strange phenomena, and clues across worlds.

  • Lovecraftian Enemies: Face creatures that defy logic, some you can run from, others you must challenge… or avoid entirely.
