Dizzy Games has revealed their debut co-op fantasy horror game, Blackroots, which is slated for an Early Access release on Steam in Q2 2027. The game sees players work together or alone to resist a dark force known as Ul’vorran in either a narrative-focused Story Mode, or breaking unfinished pacts in the game’s Purge Mode.
The story for Blackroots concerns a small order devoted itself to protecting people from dark forces through forbidden knowledge. However, in their quest for power, the order discovers the name Ul’vorran. In exchange for strength, some members performed a ritual beneath the oldest tree in existence, but were consumed by Ul’vorran as a result.
Seeing the impending corruption, other members broke away and formed a new order called Obscura. They seek to stop the spread of Ul’vorran through stopping of the pacts.
Along with typical RPG elements, such as earning currency, levelling up, and unlocking tools to increase your chances of survival, players in Blackroots will need to be wary of their sanity. When your sanity drops to zero, you are pulled into the Madness Maze. In there, you are alone and your teammates cannot help you. You must find the exit before your mental stability reaches its breaking point. However, something is chasing you within the maze, which not only has traps, but keeps changing and re-shaping.
