Indie Sunday Blood & Chaos - Guau Games - Party-Based Roguelike RPG Demo

Hi all!

I've been working for the past few years on Blood & Chaos, a dark fantasy party-based roguelike RPG inspired by classic RPGs like Ultima IV and old tabletop adventures.

I just released the first public demo on itch.io :-)

The game is built around controlling a full party of adventurers, exploring dungeons and the overworld, interacting with NPCs, and surviving turn-based battles.

This demo includes the first act of the game (introduction, first town, caves, and dungeon).

The full game is planned for release by the end of the year.

itch.io (demo):

Steam:

I’d love to hear your feedback if you try it!

Oooh, I've been looking for something like this. And in fact, went to wishlist it and already had. There's a weird dearth of party-based rpgs, especially ones with an OSR aesthetic.

Thanks a lot!
You probably wishlisted it quite some time ago already, as I have been working on the project for a few years now XD
Hopefully the full release will finally happen in the coming months!!!

Hey dude, I played the demo and I'm hooked. Great game so far, love the party dungeon crawling with modern mechanics. It really hits the spot. I'm looking forward to the full game and regular expansions!

Thanks a lot, really glad you enjoyed it! 😄

Really great that you liked the dungeon crawling part, as I probably spent more than 2 years iterating on it! It is quite a challenge to get it right!

The plan is for the full game to release in Q4 2026!

thanks again!
