Whispers of the Eyeless announced from modders-turned developers Venris

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent delving into the depths of dark fantasy worlds, I can’t help but be drawn to Whispers of the Eyeless. Having dabbled in the intricate modding scene for games like Total War: Warhammer III, I’ve always been intrigued by the ingenuity and passion that drives these projects. Venris, having made a name for themselves with their SFO mod, has now stepped into the limelight with this standalone title.


Originally known for modding games like Total War: Warhammer III, the developer Venris is now stepping into standalone title creation with Whispers of the Eyeless, an announcement that’s generating excitement. The creators of one of the most popular SFO mods are behind this project, describing it as a dark fantasy RPG reminiscent of Darkest Dungeon, Loop Hero, Children of Morta, and Polish folklore.

The game titled “Whispers of the Eyeless” is a strategy role-playing experience set in a dimly lit fantasy realm brimming with mysteries. Venture into the city of Aranthor, amass resources from its various neighborhoods, vanquish adversaries via tactical turn-based battles, lead your cult to triumph, and impact Aranthor’s destiny by resurrecting the Ancient Deities.

Some of the features for Whispers of the Eyeless include:

  • Infiltrate the City – Travel through a branching web of events within each district of the city of Aranthor to gather resources and gain experience. Battle each district’s unique enemies in tactical turn-based combat. Encounter unique events and mechanics tied to each district’s denizens, culture and history.
  • Grow your Cult – To restore the Dead Gods to power, you will need faithful followers. Your cult, hidden beneath the city, must remain undetected. The forces of the new Living Gods are strong, and you will be no match for them if discovered. As you grow, cultists can be ordained as Disciples, and sent on Callings.
  • Build your Base – Gather resources and leverage your cultists to develop your Sanctum. Upgrade your base, enact divine Benedictions, and make Sacrifices to the Dead Gods to strengthen the cult and increase your power in the city as Prophet. The God you favor will impact your Sanctum’s appearance, which can be customized to your liking.
  • Influence Fate – As the First Prophet, your decisions and actions will determine how and when each of the Dead Gods: Wrath, Desire, and Madness; will grow in power. You may favor one over the others, or strike a more balanced approach; the choice is yours to make.
