    500 ENEMIES, 30+ ALLIES, ENDLESS DEPTH — HORRORVALE: DEADLUXE EDITION IS THE RPG THAT KEEPS GIVING

    BatWorks Software’s spooky turn-based adventure packs unmatched variety — and everyone’s already dead

    Don’t let the charming undead exterior fool you — HorrorVale: Deadluxe Edition hides one of the deepest, most generously designed turn-based combat systems in recent memory. With over 500 mechanically distinct enemies, brain-teasing puzzles, and 30+ recruitable party members ready to back you up, this isn’t just another spooky RPG — it’s a massive, living underworld where no two battles feel the same.

    Combat That Never Repeats

    Most RPGs recycle the same foes with slightly higher stats. HorrorVale? It built 500+ enemies from the ground up, each with their own art, behaviour, and mechanics to learn:

    • Every encounter teaches something new — you’ll never face a generic “stronger goblin” clone
    • It keeps you thinking — adapt to new tactics constantly; mastery means understanding patterns, not just levelling up
    • Hand-drawn style — every creature is uniquely illustrated, making the bestiary as fun to browse as it is to battle
    • Modern turn-based design — familiar at first glance, but layered with timing, positioning, and combo depth that unfolds across 25+ hours of main story and 60 hours of total content

    Puzzles That Make You Think — Without Breaking You

    The valley isn’t just monsters. It’s packed with fiendish, brain-bending puzzles woven into every area — riddles, environmental challenges, and logic tests that match the spooky tone without ever feeling unfair. Stuck? Your growing team of allies often holds the clue — or the ability — you need to push through.

    Your Friends Are Your Greatest Weapon

    Thankfully, you’re not facing this alone. 30+ playable characters — from ghosts and ghouls to talking trees and unlikely heroes — stand ready to join your party:

    • Each with unique abilities, personalities, and personal sidequests — 60 in total to deepen their stories
    • Shared XP system — experiment freely! Swap team members constantly without anyone falling behind
    • Build endless party combinations — synergise skills, cover weaknesses, and craft the perfect squad for every threat
    • A genuinely alive (and undead) world — the town of HorrorVale hums with weird, wonderful NPCs and side stories that make it feel like home

    Deadluxe Edition — Bigger, Better, Spookier

    Originally launched on PC in October 2024, the Deadluxe Edition arrived October 31 on PlayStation 5/4, Xbox Series X|S/Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, bringing:

    • Revised hand-drawn artwork polished exclusively for consoles
    • Brand-new battles and quality-of-life improvements
    • 170-track original soundtrack — one of the most generous in the genre
    • The golden rule — don’t worry about who you meet along the way… everyone is already dead

    Ready to Move In?

    HorrorVale: Deadluxe Edition isn’t just about fighting monsters — it’s about joining a community. One where every battle sharpens your mind, every puzzle rewards your wits, and every new friend makes you stronger. With 500 foes to master, 30+ allies to befriend, and a sprawling underworld to uncover, the question isn’t whether you’ll survive — it’s how many stories you’ll collect before you’re done.

    Welcome to the valley. Make yourself at home.

    Available now on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox & Nintendo Switch

  • Neighbours, Nightmares, and a Very Good Boy — Welcome to HorrorVale!

    Neighbours, Nightmares, and a Very Good Boy — Welcome to HorrorVale!

    Who needs a quiet life anyway? In HorrorVale, your next-door neighbours are zombies, the mail gets delivered by reanimated monsters, and ghosts keep hiding in your bathroom — and that’s just a regular Tuesday. Developer BatWorks Software and publisher Electric Airship invite you into the friendliest underworld you’ll ever explore, where death is basically just a fashion statement.

    Alice and the Dog Who Won’t Stay Down

    You play as Alice, a young skeleton witch-in-training whose peaceful existence is upended when her beloved zombie dog Scruffy is snatched by a horde of bizarre invaders. Once HorrorVale was a cosy, spooky haven where everyone — living, dead, or somewhere in between — got along. Now strange monsters known as the Creepies have appeared, throwing the Underworld into chaos. Your mission: journey through haunted streets, creepy woods, misty bogs, and forgotten realms to get Scruffy back.

    ?? Don’t Worry — Everyone’s Already Dead

    Here’s the best part: guilt-free adventuring. Every foe you face, every “defeat” you deal — nobody is actually dying. They’re already there. That doesn’t mean the fights are easy, though. HorrorVale serves up classic turn-based RPG combat with a spooktacular twist:

    • Over 50 hours of adventure across four sprawling Acts
    • Recruit 30+ unique party members — each with their own skills, backstories, and weird quirks
    • Shared XP system means no grinding, no dead weight — experiment freely with your squad
    • 60 sidequests that dig deep into the lives and afterlives of HorrorVale’s wonderful weirdos

    Where Every Day Goes Bump in the Night

    The world itself is a character — a vibrant, handcrafted Underworld where:

    • Friendly zombies wave from their porches
    • Ghouls run local shops
    • Ghosts pop up for a chat (or a scare)
    • And the townsfolk are far more scared of you than you are of them

    It’s horror reimagined as heartwarming — equal parts spooky, silly, and sincere.

    Available Now

    HorrorVale launched on PC via Steam in October 2024 and is currently haunting PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch with enhanced visuals, exclusive battles, and smoother performance. Wishlist today — Scruffy won’t rescue himself.

    The gates are open. Your new neighbours are waiting. Will you answer the call?
