Simone Redlock Studio has announced that its first-person adventure title HYPNOS is scheduled to launch in Early Access for PC via Steam on May 6.
Described as a “Lovecraftian megastructure fever dream”, the game follows Choron, a vagabond searching for a mysterious boy within the ruins of the Nameless City. The gameplay emphasizes exploration within a semi-open world, featuring branched dialogues and environmental manipulation that influences the game’s multiple endings.
The Early Access version will include the majority of the game’s planned world areas and one of the four final endings. According to the developer, the Early Access phase is expected to be relatively brief, lasting between four and five months. This period is intended for finalizing content and integrating community feedback before the full 1.0 release.
At launch, players will have access to the core narrative pillars, including the “Maze Chronicles” story system and the ability to transform dream materia to reveal hidden layers of the environment.
