Friends, watch out for two fraudulent Withering Realms wikis under the .wiki domain that may serve up malware/phishing ads to you. They do not contain any useful information, and are just AI generated nonsense based on the trailers and store description. Be careful out there!

The Withering Realms build is in amazing shape, having been hammered for hundreds hours by the community beta crew. However, Early Access launch is delayed due to unusually slow platform approval. I don't have an ETA yet, as it's not in my control. Thank you for your support!

The design of Rhodri’s Gibbet in Withering Realms is based on a real gallows that stood just outside Paris and wasn’t dismantled until 1760. The chambers served both for hanging and displaying. Imagine seeing this perched on a hill during your daily routine.

Withering Realms is heading to Early Access in September, and I'm working hard to get a community beta ready. First beta wave will be late July or the first week of August, which is a bit later than I hoped, but it's going to be worth the wait! Info on beta: store.steampowered.com/news/app/344...

Hello friends! Withering Rooms is 50% off right now as part of the #SteamSummerSale until July 9. It’s a 2.5D horror action RPG set in a rotting mansion in Wales, with a ton of monster variety and a story I promise you won’t be able to predict. Get it here: store.steampowered.com/app/2006140/...

Hello friends,

I’ve had my head down working very hard
on Withering Realms. I had hoped to bring
it to Early Access by the end of this year,
but the beast is proving difficult to slay.
The new Early Access date is Q2 2026.

In the meantime, I’ll be sharing regular
updates again, starting with a devlog.
Thank you so much for your patience
and support. This game will absolutely
be worth the wait.

That would be super cool but also super likely to wind up costing me a lot more than it makes given manufacturing costs. Maybe I can do a dual release of Withering Realms/Rooms soundtrack down the line though! Very excited just thinking about it.

Clover can cast spells at any time, even while The Doll is mid swing. Here she casts a green "flash spell" which speeds up The Doll by 25% for 3 seconds - very effective on weapons with lots of fast individual hits like the Chain Dagger or Machine Gun. #wishlistwednesday

Because Clover rides on the doll's back, she can use items or cast spells at any time, even while the Doll is mid-attack. Create an explosive sigil on the ground just as the doll's attack lands, or heal while in mid-swing.

Withering Realms @moonlessformless.bsky.social · 31/01/2025
Penwyll's local mechanical genius can create new attachments for the doll's missing right arm like the Pivoting Greatsword, Chain Rock, Machinegun, or Flamethrower. Some attachments allow you to find new treasure or secrets in old areas.

Withering Realms @moonlessformless.bsky.social · 31/01/2025
The game features a world map that slowly expands. Explore a field or dungeon, then bring the spoils back to Penwyll to upgrade The Doll. Minute to minute gameplay is like top-down Zelda meets Bloodborne. Start any area at nighttime to encounter new, horrifying creatures.
