Nantes, France - Alkemi Games, the studio behind Foretales, together with publisher PID Games, have today announced and released a playable demo for An Ankou on Steam, a fast-paced action roguelike launching into Early Access this July. An Ankou will be the first title to launch under the Alkemi Games and PID Games publishing partnership.
Set in an alternative 19th century Brittany, An Ankou sees players assume the role of “The Ankou”, a servant of death and the last dead of the year. Reborn as one of the first three playable classes (Soldier, Apothecary or Nun), players will re-enter the world to reincarnate spirits and guide them to their final rest.
As they do, they will face hordes of demons flooding the lands of the living and embark on a perilous journey. Players will be able to explore haunted lands, gather resources, craft equipment, level up and fight back against powerful enemy forces. If the Ankou fails in their task, they’ll be reborn to try again..
Set in a beautifully hand-crafted open map filled with random encounters and challenging bosses, An Ankou offers pin-point combat and instant replayability, all wrapped in a striking artstyle.
Players interested in learning more can follow the game on Twitter, Facebook or join the official Discord server. An Ankou’s public demo is available now on Steam.
