Decrepit debuted its announcement trailer at The Game Awards 2025, introducing a first-person dark fantasy souls-like dungeon crawler. Players awaken in an undead-infested castle dungeon, aiming to escape through repeated runs that build map mastery.
Core Gameplay Loop
Escape attempts involve looting gear from defeated enemies, but death strips equipment while undead drag the body back, retaining knowledge of layouts and secrets. Combat fuses stamina-managed souls-like precision with old-school dungeon crawling akin to Hexen and Eye of the Beholder, prioritizing enemy patterns and spatial awareness over gear power. Four classes: Mage, Warrior, Rogue, Shaman provide gear-specific bonuses amid fixed maps with randomized foes for high replayability.
Solo developer Jämmerdal Games crafted the title, backed by Three Friends publishing and input from Minecraft/Valheim veterans. The trailer showcases tense undead clashes and roguelike resets in a grim castle setting.
Targeted for PC on Steam in 2026, Decrepit invites wishlists now for fans of challenging dungeon escapes. This TGA premiere highlights its blend of brutal combat and procedural tension.
