We’re thrilled to share the announcement for Blackroots, debut co-op fantasy horror game of Dizzy Games that is planned to release in Q2 2027.
About Blackroots:
Blackroots is a co-op fantasy/horror game where players work together or alone to resist a dark force known as Ul'vorran. Fight back against Ul'vorran’s growing darkness. Purge corruption and break pacts before they are fulfilled, or dive into Story Mode. Earn currency, level up, and unlock tools to increase your chances of survival.
A long time ago, a small order devoted itself to protecting people from dark forces. They used forbidden knowledge to keep the world safe.
In their search for greater power, they discovered the name Ul'vorran.
Some members chose to go astray. They sought a pact with Ul'vorran in exchange for strength.
To bring Ul'vorran back into the world, they performed a ritual beneath the oldest tree in existence.
Some resisted, because they knew better. They understood that Ulvorran would not keep its word and would only bring greater darkness into the world.
When they could no longer resist others and stop the ritual, they devoted themselves to fighting this force instead. They broke away and formed a new order of their own separating themselves from the others.
Called themselves Obscura
Those who bound themselves to the ritual in search of strength were consumed by it.
Now Ul'vorran spreads its force through the pacts it makes with those it deceives. Wherever a pact is made, black roots begin to grow. They spread from that place, twisting through the ground and corrupting everything they touch.
Multiple Game Modes
The game features two modes at the start of your journey: Story Mode and Purge Mode. Story Mode is focused on narrative, while Purge Mode is centered on breaking unfinished pacts.
