Mixing the tension of survival horror with the unpredictability of a cursed board game, developer Ludogram has announced Invokyr, their new co-op psychological horror title that’s currently available to wislist on Steam.Touted as R.E.P.O. meets Jumanji, players must roll the dice to get to the end of the game, but every roll will summon unspeakable horrors they must escape or work together to control.
Set within the creaking walls of a long-abandoned home, Invokyr has players uncover the sinister history of a 1970s board game that should have remained forgotten. What begins as a nostalgic curiosity quickly spirals into a desperate struggle for freedom as each roll of the dice unleashes grotesque creatures, traps, and twisted biomes that defy reality. A cursed Gamemaster, voiced by Amelia Tyler (Baldur’s Gate 3, Hades 2), will be their host as they try to leave the game or forever be lost to the shadows.
Luckily, players won’t face the horrors alone — unless they choose to. The game has online co-op for up to four players, and they can choose to either work together to outwit the Gamemaster and survive, or abandon each other when things turn grim. As players explore the house, they’ll uncover powerful, one-use dice, each granting unique and often dangerous effects that could turn the tide or spell disaster.
The house itself constantly shifts its form, pulling players through surreal, twisted biomes like frozen peaks, overgrown jungles, and warped toy rooms, each filled with their nightmares. Every run reveals new secrets, unlockable rewards, and deeper layers of the mystery that binds players to the game.
“Invokyr is a love letter to the thrill of board games and the fear of the unknown,” said Edouard Gaudel, Ludogram CEO. “It’s about camaraderie under pressure, betrayal at the worst possible time, and the creeping dread of a house that’s watching your every move.”
