Explore and investigate the dream-like Nameless City in Hypnos, coming to PC and consoles this year
Lyon, France, 14th January 2026 – Redlock Studio, known for Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King and Blackshard, are thrilled to reveal Hypnos, a first-person adventure and exploration game set in a lovecraftian megastructure fever dream.
Hypnos is an atmospheric —and slightly unsettling— exploration adventure game, set in the Nameless City at the edge of dreams. Explore a semi-open world, meet its monarchs and strange inhabitants, and hopefully, find the boy haunting your dreams.
Hypnos is set in Redlock Studio’s Maze Chronicles universe, following their previous title Blackshard. Keeping the same atmospheric focus for the series, Hypnos also weaves branching narratives into the formula. The soundtrack for the game is the creation of ALT236, a French multimedia artist and composer, in a blend of ambient, retro and dreamlike electronic music.

Key features:
- EXPLORATION: wander a unique semi-open world. Find your own way through the Nameless City.
- BRANCHED DIALOGUES, CHOICES & ALTERNATIVE ENDINGS: Meet the strange inhabitants of the Far Reaches. Your actions influence their destinies.
- A LAYERED WORLD: Interact with your environment. Transform the materia of dreams and the City with it. Lift the veils that conceal reality.
Hypnos will make its way to PC and consoles later this year. Intrigued souls can already wishlist the game on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2861210/HYPNOS/
