Dread Delusion is an open world RPG brimming with strange places and dark perils. Carve your own path through the flying continents of a shattered land. Discover curious towns, unearth occult secrets, master powerful magic - and change the world through your choices.

Story

At the edge of the world lies the citadel of the Clockwork God, where state-approved magic is regulated by strange machines. There are whispers of a festering sickness, corrupting the people and the earth alike. Those outside the citadel walls are condemned to drift as twisted, unspeakable things. The Clockwork God has calculated that a savior will emerge. But even God has been known to malfunction, of late.

What is happening now

Dread Delusion is an open-world action-RPG that launched on PC in June 2022. The indie title has now secured a physical release through Lost in Cult in partnership with DreadXP and Lovely Hellplace. Two editions are available for pre-order - a Retail+ Edition and a special "EDITION" - with the game coming to Nintendo Switch 2. This marks an expansion beyond its original PC release, bringing the RPG to console players.
