We’ve made the difficult decision to officially cancel the development of Into the Depths of Despair.

After much thought, testing, and internal reflection, we at Tzavis Studio have decided to end the project’s development.
While Into the Depths of Despair began with strong creative energy and a lot of effort, as time went on, it became clear that the project no longer represented the vision or standards we want our studio to stand for.

At Tzavis Studio, we believe every game we release should carry genuine inspiration, technical quality, and heart.
When that creative connection fades, forcing it would only lead to something that feels hollow — and that’s not who we are.

We’ve learned a lot through the process, and we’re now channeling that experience into a new project — one that’s very different in tone and design, and much closer to the kind of games we truly want to make.

Thank you to everyone who followed the development, offered feedback, or showed excitement for this game.
Your support keeps us moving forward, and we can’t wait to share what’s next.

With appreciation,
Tzavis Studio

Harrowed World is taking a bold step into the realm of dice, character sheets, and imagination. Work has officially begun on a tabletop roleplaying game adaptation of the dark gothic setting, tentatively titled Harrowed World Tabletop. While the name may change as development progresses, the project promises to deliver an immersive experience that captures the haunting beauty and deep depths of Harrowed World in a new way.

 

The upcoming TTRPG will adapt the lore of Harrowed World for pen and paper play, starting with the insidious vampires of the setting. Players will step into the shadows as these immortal predators, navigating ancient power struggles, secret pacts, and blood-soaked intrigue.

 

But vampires are only the beginning. Over time, Harrowed World Tabletop will expand to include the full array of creatures that populate the world, from magical folk to the mysterious Beholders, humans who possess the rare ability to sense the supernatural. This gradual expansion is designed to keep the world growing and evolving, allowing players to explore every dark corner of Harrowed World.

 

While vampires will take centre stage initially, interplay between different creature types will be a key part of the experience. Whether through NPC interactions orchestrated by a game master or direct play between player characters of different creature types.

 

This emphasis on cross-creature dynamics adds layers of storytelling potential, allowing groups to craft campaigns filled with uneasy alliances, supernatural scheming, and moral dilemmas that blur the line between monster and human.

 

Instead of adopting the widely used d20 system, Harrowed World Tabletop will feature a custom-built system created specifically for this world. The decision serves a dual purpose, avoiding licensing complications while also giving creative freedom to design mechanics that fully embody the dark and disturbing tone of Harrowed World.

 

While details of the mechanics remain under wraps, the plan is for flexibility and narrative depth to take precedence over crunch heavy gameplay. The goal is to create a system that feels fluid, dangerous, and emotionally charged, where every roll of the dice carries weight.

 

 

The project is still in its early stages of development and is not yet playable. The announcement comes earlier than originally planned due to growing community interest and discussions that encouraged pulling back the curtain sooner than expected.

 

Fans eager to get involved will have a chance to help shape the game’s future, though not right away. Playtesting opportunities are planned for members of the Harrowed World Community Discord server at a later stage of development, once the project reaches a playable state.

 

Those interested in joining the community and staying up to date with development updates can apply to join the Discord via the official form here.

 

Harrowed World Tabletop is shaping up to be an ambitious expansion of the setting. By translating the moody, gothic atmosphere of Harrowed World into a living (or perhaps unliving?), breathing roleplaying experience, it invites players not just to witness the world’s stories, but to experience their own tales within it.

 

For fans of immersive storytelling, supernatural intrigue, and the thrill of rolling dice under candlelight, this may just be the next great saga to unfold around your gaming table.
