Sydney, Australia - Jan 25 2024
Since its reveal seven months ago at the 2023 PC Gaming Show and Demo reveal at SXSW Sydney, 'Macabre' has been propelled into the limelight. Aussie Indie Team Weforge Studio's CO-OP Horror title has achieved a significant milestone by amassing over 100,000 wishlists on Steam, securing its position among the top 300 most wishlisted games worldwide. This accomplishment underscores the dedication to craft from the small but passionate team based in Australia, marking a significant achievement for the young indie studio.
"The overwhelming response to 'Macabre' shows a keen interest of innovative titles in the horror genre," said Jake Davey, Game Director at Weforge Studio. "This enthusiasm from players and critics alike has not only placed 'Macabre' on the map but has also resonated deeply with our team."
Echoing this sentiment, Jay Topping, Creative Director at Weforge Studio, added, "We're eternally grateful for our community's incredible support. Not only does it fuel our drive to continually refine Macabre, but it also proves we're on the right path."
To celebrate the occasion, Weforge Studio is hosting a special giveaway. Fans are encouraged to participate for a chance to win exclusive Macabre merchandise. Further details about the giveaway can be found on Macabre's official website.

Macabre invites players to embark on a perilous journey through unstable time rifts, navigating a maze of infinite timelines, including those of other players. In this treacherous world, players must harness cunning tactics, swift decision-making, and stealthy manoeuvres to outwit and evade the horrifying entities that lurk within the shadows.
