Tarpit Games Announces 3D Dungeon RPG Häxeri for Steam
Swedish indie developer sfabian, working under the studio Tarpit Games, has opened the Steam store page for Häxeri, a 3D dungeon RPG scheduled for release in 2027. The title means "witchcraft" in Swedish, a nod to the Wizardry series. Häxeri draws inspiration from Wizardry, Etrian Odyssey, and Shin Megami Tensei. Players explore grid-based dungeons with a party of up to four characters, choosing from six classes: Berserker, Paladin, Rogue, Bard, Priest, and Sorcerer. Each character has assignable stats and a class-specific skill tree. The turn-based battle system uses a Press Turn mechanic: exploiting an enemy's weakness grants an extra action, while hitting a resistance costs an action. The game also features a hand-drawn mapping system where players draw walls and floors on grid paper displayed on the right side of the screen or full screen. Developer sfabian cited Etrian Odyssey as a key influence, describing it as challenging yet calming.
