Steam launch: New mystery-dungeon RPG hits Steam with launch discount in tow
House of Necrosis is a new turn-based horror RPG developed by Warkus, officially released on Steam on October 6, 2025. It is racking up a fair amount of interest, which is evident by its early reviews and active engagement on various gaming platforms and forums.
House of Necrosis has retro 32-bit 3D graphics - very reminiscent of classic 90s survival horror titles, mixed in with roguelike elements. Players have to explore a mansion that dynamically changes every time they enter, which has the potential to create a fresh experience with each run. The game combines RPG elements - such as leveling up characters and upgrading weapons - with a mystery dungeon-style structure, with a lot of exploration, resource management, and strategic combat against zombies, monsters, and other horrors. New gameplay videos and demos show a classic third-person perspective where players navigate procedurally generated dungeons and collect items.
Initially announced with a demo available earlier in 2025, the full version launched on Steam on October 6, 2025, after over three years of active development and community feedback. The developers, Warkus, have stayed in touch with their player base throughout, and the game is available on Windows and Linux platforms.
Speaking of player base, early reviews praise the game’s nostalgic aesthetic, engaging gameplay, and sound design, comparing it (favorably) to classic survival horror titles like Resident Evil, but with modern roguelike twists. The demo received a lot of positive feedback for its atmosphere, mechanics, and challenge, which has carried over into the full release.
House of Necrosis is priced at $10.79 on Steam. The game also launched with a 10% discount for early buyers - read more about it on the Steam store page here.
