As we head towards the encounter with Suffering, the webseries continues.

The webseries concludes!

This marks the end of the two-episode miniseries which began with episode one, “Forging Nightmares”, which focused on Othercide’s lore and artistic inspirations. Lightbulb Crew is hard at work putting the finishing touches on their dark masterpiece, but you can expect much more footage and gameplay over the coming month.

Othercide comes to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on July 28, and on Nintendo Switch later this summer. Pre-orders are open on Steam and Xbox One with a 15% discount. Payers can also pre-order the OTHERCIDE + OST + ARTBOOK Bundle on Steam, with an additional special discount.

The story: “Descend into Humanity’s last hope. The Daughters, echoes of the greatest warrior to ever live, are all who stand before Suffering and death.

“Lead your army of Daughters to battle with all the skill you can muster. Your prowess in combat will decide their fate, shape their abilities and personality. Make the toughest decision and sacrifice one to heal another – survivors will get stronger, ready to fight the next battle.

“Combat is an intricate dance of spectacular actions and counters: plan ahead of time and set up impressive chains of abilities to outsmart the enemy. Fight in epic boss battles against the sources of suffering – dread creatures pulled from the worst of Humanity’s crimes against itself.
You will fight. You will fail. You will rise again.
