Asterfel is a New Dark Fantasy Action-RPG Coming to Steam
Developer Mysteria Studio has today unveiled Asterfel, a third-person single-player Action-RPG that plunges players into a fractured island nation on the brink of collapse. Drawing inspiration from early 2000s RPG classics, Asterfel promises a rich blend of intense combat, storytelling, and a dark world shaped by magic gone awry.
Players awaken as a shipwreck survivor on the shores of Asterfel, an island torn apart by greed, fractured alliances, and supernatural forces. The King's magical mines have unearthed more than treasure. They've awakened horrors, stirred an old god from its slumber, and unleashed chaos across the land.The heart of Asterfel is its faction-based narrative. Align with one of three rival factions:
With a distinct Gothic-inspired atmosphere, Asterfel invites players to explore a sprawling open world filled with arid landscapes, forgotten ruins, dense jungles, and ancient mysteries. But danger lurks behind every corner. The further you travel, the more lethal your foes become—and the deeper the secrets you'll uncover.

Also, we do support smaller developers here.
Btw, they're looking for a lead 3D character artist in case you want to help out.
I guess all those others just dont do press releases?
>it doesn’t look like usual AAA glitzy slop
>must definitely be an ad
Christ, and then people go “why is the industry getting so bad mens?”. The game looks fine, good enough for what it is. The guys at Mysteria had been working for years from what I know to try and get their passion project off the ground, which is what this is. How it will turn out is anyone’s guess, but with the demise of PB it’s not like we are spoiled with Gothic-likes anyway.
Let's get with the program here.
Found the "official" discord link looking through their twitter...it is just as old as their prototype release (5years), has 27 people total and is very lightly used. The Twitter itself is lightly used with the newest posts being retweet for IGN about their game, "We'll have some big news next week!" post, and UE5 asset store addition post. Everything before that is 4+ years old.
I assume this is purely an investor bait game from a small studio otherwise there would definitely be more media, posts, anything from the developers and the game release trailer would not be unlisted.
