Agony was a first-person survival made at Madmind Studio by a relatively small core development team of only 9 people who previously worked on
The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, Tom Clancy's The Division, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2, and
Alien Rage. The game launched in July, and despite its intriguing premise was critically panned with a rather terrible 47% on Metacritic (PC) and even worse ratings on consoles.
While Madmind is currently working on their next incredibly violent survival game
Paranoid, they have somehow found some time to launch the unrated version of
Agony (that featured even more "mature" content and deleted scenes), but also create yet another project set in the
Agony universe - the recently announced
Succubus spin-off that will give you a chance to become a priestess of lust.
"
The main character of the game is Succubus, a wild and lustful demon," Madmind announced. "
You were able to learn a part of her story in the original Agony and Agony UNRATED, where she received her own single-player campaign. The new queen of Hell has chosen a life in the wilderness instead of the luxuries besides her king Nimrod. During her travels, she meets the powerful Baphomet who, together with his army, is going to get the soul of Nimrod. Captured, maimed and betrayed by her own species, the Succubus is left with only one goal that matters – REVENGE!"
According to the Polish game development studio,
Succubus will feature vastly improved, intense and brutal action using weapons and pyrokinesis, an expandable skill tree, and even more traditional RPG mechanics like a system of weapons and armor that affect a player's statistics and a multi-story plot combining horror with action and survival. Take a look at
Succubus' reveal trailer and poster below:
You are the Succubus – a wild and lustful demon who rejected the role of the queen of the infernal abyss. With the disappearance of the legitimate rulers of Hell, the remaining demons recognized Nimrod as their ruler, because he was the only soul who could dominate the mind of the mighty Beast. By raising his new empire from the corpses of sinners, the new king, along with his new queen – you – managed to control the chaos left by former rulers. The life of luxury and walking on rugs sewn from the skins of martyrs was not for you though, and so you have chosen a life in the wilderness. By satisfying your appetites and original instincts, you inflict pain by hurting everyone and everything in your path.
SUCCUBUS is coming to Steam.
