What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We already have a solid and fully playable boomer-shooter experience, and we want to involve players early while we finish the remaining content. Early Access lets us gather feedback on balance, difficulty, and level design while we complete the final stages of development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately 2–3 months.
This may change depending on player feedback and polishing needs”

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

“Over time, we hope to grow the game with new large levels, a final boss encounter, extra weapons and enemies, and continued polish to gameplay, performance, and balance.
Community feedback will guide further improvements to player balance, difficulty, and enemy AI.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable and content-complete up to the final chapters. It includes several levels, enemies, weapons, and all core mechanics. Only a few non-critical bugs and polish items remain before Early Access launch.”

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

“We plan to offer the Early Access version at a lower price and slightly increase it once the full version is released, as additional content and features are added.”

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

“We will share updates regularly, listen to player feedback, and adjust gameplay balance, difficulty, and content based on community suggestions. We also plan to update the demo and post development notes through the Steam Hub.”

About This Game

Hideous is a dark fantasy boomer shooter forged in the fires of the old-school. Inspired by Heretic and infused with the chilling dread of Diablo 1, it drops you into a cursed realm rotting with undead corruption and arcane horror. Armed with devastating magic weapons—flaming staves, crackling lightning rods, and your own scorching fireball fists—you’ll battle through crypts and cathedrals infested with zombie warriors, skeletal cultists, and twisted fire-headed bosses.

Every corridor drips with doom. Every shadow could hide a spell-slinging Evil Mage or a lurking abomination. With fast-paced, skill-driven combat and an oppressive, gothic atmosphere, Hideous is a relentless descent into magical carnage where the only salvation is sorcery.
