IGN Trailer Comment Highlights
“0:29 literally Asmongold”
Viewers noted a striking resemblance between one character and the popular streamer. The developers replied: “All characters in HYPERxFANTASY are fictional. Any resemblance to real streamers, living or balding, is purely coincidental.”
“0:31 bro WHAT 😂”
One of the demo’s most talked-about moments, a point-and-click interaction asks the player to physically save Enris from the danger of the Singularity tide—an emotionally layered scene that gently pushes against typical comfort zones.
“Best OST of the year. My favorite part is when they go ‘AHHHHHHHHHH~AHHHHHHH’”
A testament to the trailer's intense audio design and vocal performance.
Demo Launches For ENDIX Indie Showcase
A playable demo of HYPERxFANTASY is now available on Steam. Released as part of the ENDIX Indie Showcase 2025, this standalone experience offers approximately 30 minutes of gameplay and marks the first hands-on opportunity for the public to explore the world of HYPERxFANTASY.
A demo is defined by genre-hopping design: Visuals are inspired by Blade Runner and Tron, while core gameplay draws on NieR: Automata in its fusion of RPG mechanics and unexpected shifts. Players can expect seamless transitions between 2D, 2.5D, and full 3D, as well as rhythm-based minigames, FPS sequences, and expressive dialogue-driven progression.
Traction On Reddit And Selection In Festivals
HYPERxFANTASY has rapidly gained attention across the indie scene and wider gaming community. A gameplay post on r/pcmasterrace soared past 10,000 upvotes in just days, reflecting strong organic engagement and viral curiosity.
The project has also been officially selected for major international showcases, including:
- Tokyo Game Show
- ENDIX Indie Showcase
- Clemmy’s BIG (Best Indie Games) Summer Showcase
- RPG Direct
These selections, combined with the trailer’s premiere on IGN, highlight the game’s growing reputation for experimental gameplay, distinctive world-building, and a uniquely layered narrative structure.
Supporting Global Marine Conservation
Creators Surcutt-P and Nivrel care deeply about the ocean, so they donated to the WDC World Ocean Day Charity Sale 2025 to help conserve marine life. Sometimes, even in brutalist dystopias, the sea matters.
A Steam Page Within The Fiction
The game’s Steam page has been reimagined from within the narrative itself. Overseen by in-universe character Surcutt-P, all screenshots and captions now reflect his perspective. This approach aligns the game’s promotional materials with its immersive world design.
