even current demo has too much combat. should be options to avoid it.
You can use speech checks and stealth to avoid pretty much all of it.

fanta, you can use a speech check to get the mob off the weird guy's back (or let them take them if you're unconcerned) and sneak past all the mobs in the bank.

New update : What Awaits Us in the Near Future!
Greetings all the Cult Brethren who impatiently wait for our eternal doom!

Or shall we rather say; All who impatiently wait for a game called "Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones"?

Since the release will happen this year (yes, we can't believe that either!), we wanted to inform you about our plans concerning gifts and our other promises. Oh, the enthralling promises from the deep...

First of all, our backer portraits are complete! We'd like to thank Ozan Gürbüz, Zombie Tom, David South and Sebastian Suarez for their precious contribution to the end of the world. Don't they look lovely?

As you can see some of our backers had long left their humanity behind.
All the cultist robes were also manufactured by our talented tailors who perfected their craft on various exotic fabrics.

Just nevermind the petrified victim wearing the robes.
The Special Edition Game Tomes are also ready, hungrily waiting for their associated DVDs to get on board.

The Stygian logos that will be inscribed on those will breathe further life into the forbidden artifacts.
And here comes more merry news!

Merry Folk From the Stars, the purported children's book which is guaranteed to guide both children and adults worldwide into the sweet realm of hysteria is not only complete but its digital version in pdf form will be shared with all of our backers who pledged to the tiers above and including the Early Shantak Tier. We hope that it will be able to satisfy a portion of your Mythos hunger while you wait for the release.

Below, you can see a few pages of the aforementioned prophetic book of the apocalypse:

We can almost hear your cries about the release date, brethren. For now, let's just say that the Black Day will arrive near the end of this year. Our astronomers are still trying to foresee a more concrete date but the reports tell that the visions of the future are still shrouded by the mists of time. We'll update you as soon as we're able to more clearly distinguish the precursors of the prophecy at hand.

We'd like to conclude this update with a short video of the female player character! Both genders and everything in between are welcome to experience the horrors of our twilit dimension.



All the archetypes will have their own female costume sets in the final experience.

This seems like it for now, brethren. We better get back to the Crimson Church, the ceremony is about to get under way.

Until we meet again on the haunted web ways of the Black Data.

Yech, those backer portaits look horrible and clash with the decent painted style they have for the other portraits. :\ Should have made the price for them high enough to make it worth it to not do a lazy photoshop job.

Hello ladies and gentlemen!

First of all, please forgive us about this small gap, we are indeed in the final months of the project and all the man (and undead slave) power we have has been concentrated on finalizing Stygian.

We'll get into details in the upcoming update but let us give you a quick report on the progress of the production:

* We have completed all the main content of the game.

* We have completed around 80% of the side content.

* Around 80% of the text written has been proofread.

* By next month the second localization period will begin. The game is being localized into six languages. (More on this will be in the update)

* We do not have a certain release date yet and it will depend on the duration of the QA process but it is definitely this year.

* The final sound production period will start next week.

* We have started working on some of the animated cutscenes inside the game.

We also have completed "Merry folk from the Stars" story book and you will be delving into its digital pages in the next update.

Until then:

Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!

The Gods have already set the stage upon which a forbidden covenant will be made at the sunset of reality.


We salute you hallowed children and all those who seek atonement in our beautiful doom!

First of all, please forgive our absence for all this time during which we had to lock ourselves inside our isolated vaults. We are indeed in the final months of the project and all the man (and undead slave) power we have has been concentrated on finalizing Stygian.

But rest assured that you'll be hearing more from us, since the beast that devours all is about to get awakened, and we'd like to herald the coming of the Black Day by sharing some new screenshots with our fellow cult brethren.

Please enjoy them and keep in mind that we are not responsible for any peculiar dreams that you may see after being exposed to them.

Even if the patterings and the creakings will leave your mind alone in this ghastly abode, the ominous violet luminescence certainly won't.

Can you make it through the ashen street of embrittled memories without falling prey to the colours?

There's no escape from the rabid herds that thrive in the less pleasant neighbourhoods of Arkham.

Come closer brethren, join us in our sweet madness. Oh how tantalising is the sound of primeval nothingness.

"... final months ..."

Ahhhh, well played. But I have witnessed the toil of one Cleve Blakemore, and how final months can be countless like grains of sand.

At least they have their priorities right. Everything nearly done, now it is time to make some cutscenes.
Usually those are made first to fool investors, gamers or the E3 crowd.
