The release date is "2016". But yeah, while this might be a cool game, it's not the kind of experience we typically prize on the Codex.
Not what is prized , but intensively played.

I like the central idea of Necropolis, although the evolving "deadly maze" is a bit of a SF trope.

The deadly maze was done well in Diamond Dogs (Alastair Reynolds), which is pretty much the SF short story equivalent of an RPG. Definitely worth checking out. It also has a really nice twist
the maze cannot be completed. It is a flytrap with a potentially infinite number of iterations, meant to absorb the technologies of the races that try to solve it. A similar conclusion to Necropolis would be nifty, but it's unlikely that the developer will be that brave
