Morbid: The Seven Acolytes is a Horrorpunk Action RPG filled with Lovecraftian horrors and Cronenbergian gore, making it the most gruesome take on the isometric Souls-like genre yet!

Greetings, Striver! The land of Ire has been divided into five realms, governed by the five factions and led by the five Acolyte leaders - [b]'The Lords of Ire'[/b]. In Morbid: The Lords of Ire, you must battle your way through these realms, facing horrid monstrosities, special encounters and quests. Ultimately, one by one, it is your goal to defeat the five Acolyte lords. Get a taste of the stricken land of Ire by checking out just some of the environments you will battle across, in hopes of freeing from the evil grip of the Gahars, below...

With pride and vigilance, they guarded the mountain passage between Mornia and Ire."[/i] Often referred to as 'The Wintry Mountains', this snowbound realm is one of the first gruesome lands that you will visit in this action-adventure. Tread through deep snowy passes and explore frozen stone strongholds in Rimehold, home to the forever-doomed living and dead accursed warriors.

Those who stayed split into two factions: Some tried to defend the city against the insect invaders, while others chose not to fight but to worship the monstrosities as their new overlords."[/i] The monumental capital of Ire, Irelia fell into ruin when a colony of parasitic insect demons invaded the city. Ruled by the Cult of Culex, an evil communion, Irelia features towering citadels and gothic-Victorian architecture. Away from the blood-drenched streets, players can also explore the [i]Rejectorium[/i] - the orphanage of Irelia.

What news from Rimehold? …So—it is as I feared. The great corruptors are among us once more. The Gahars have returned."[/i] Formerly known as the Cathedral of Wrath, the Hall of Redemption is the commemorative hall where the last Striver defeated Inquisitor Odius and Redeemed Mornia in [b]Morbid: The Seven Acolytes[/b]. Players will be able to use the Hall of Redemption as a hub to upgrade their abilities and equipment, or seek shelter from the morbid world outside.
