Alta, the studio behind A Township Tale (2021), showed off the latest work on its upcoming dungeon-crawler extraction game REAVE, revealing more about its various systems in addition to a new dungeon and enemy—all of it very much still a work-in-progress.
The game’s latest dev log (seen below) shows off a number of newly updated systems and areas, the largest in the game so far, a massive room called ‘The Fallen Bastion’.
“What we have here is a blend of open space, tight spaces, as well as well-lit areas and those pitch black areas to ambush other players, and […] hide from enemies,” says lead environment artist Sean Ellis.
At its center is a magical pedestal, where the player can summon a boss battle—in this case a giant spider, which is currently being used for testing purposes.
You can get a chance to become a tester by joining the game’s Discord, which periodically offers up limited slots. There’s no word on when the game will release, however the studio has confirmed it’s targeting Quest 2 and above and PC VR headsets at this time.
