Source of Madness Releasing on all Platforms on 11 May

After a prosperous Early Access, publisher Thunderful and developers Carry Castle's side-scrolling roguelite action-RPG Source of Madness will be released for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on May 11th. Ever-changing landscapes and various monstrosities to encounter will make this Lovecraftian horror adventure unique. Source of Madness's Steam and console launch prices will rise to $19.99 / €19.99 / £16.99 when version 1.0 is released. Before May 11th, anybody who wishes to acquire Source of Madness at its current Early Access fee may do so.

 

As an acolyte in an alternative universe ruled by cosmic forces, Source of Madness puts players in a position of power. The Loam Lands are terraformed and populated by strange heavenly creatures each day as these realms stretch and deform. Your journey will lead you from the depths of the Dungeon of Forgotten Knowledge to the spooky Forest of Lies to the vast non-euclidean fortress R'Lyeh, all the way up to celestial bodies on the rims of the universe, to discover the root of this unfathomable evil.

Source of Madness plays at 60 frames per second on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles, ensuring that the action is smooth and responsive. At 60 frames per second, gamers on the PS4 and Xbox One may experience a native 1080p resolution and Nintendo Switch 1080p docked; while playing in portable or tabletop mode, it runs at 720p.

“With Source of Madness we wanted to make a roguelite that does more than simply rearrange level layouts and enemy combinations, but rather creates all-new unholy beasts to face off against in each playthrough,” said Per Fornander, CEO at Carry Castle. “We knew we were opening Pandora’s box by unleashing so many permutations of machine learning AI monstrosities, but thanks to our audience of Early Access players, we were able to ensure that this multi-platform launch is as polished as can be.”

A neural network that creates monsters from a seemingly limitless abyss will create up to billions of different animals for each playthrough. These physics-rigged monsters are brought to life by a strong machine-learning AI that will do everything to turn your life into a living nightmare.

Players use a broad array of spells to combat these abominations. They become a member of one of five different guilds, each with its own unique set of classes, equipment, and spells, and get access to a plethora of new powers and abilities. Players will infuse the blood of their opponents into magical altars to unlock new spells as they go through the game. If they die, know that the world will be reborn, and they'll lose all of your gear.

Lovecraftian rogue-lite action-platformer Source of Madness features dynamic and ever-changing creatures from the abyss that you must fight to the death. The game entered its early access on Steam on 22 September 2021.
