Announcement of HYPNOS — an adventure game about a surreal megastructure HYPNOS announcement trailer.

The Redlock Studio team announced HYPNOS — a first-person adventure game with an emphasis on exploration. The project will be released in 2026.

HYPNOS takes place in a surreal megastructure that resembles something out of a dream at a temperature of 37.5 degrees Celsius. Players will travel to the Nameless City on the border of Dreams and follow the path to the Holy Mountain of Kadat, where, according to mythology, the gods dwell. The spaces of the game obey different laws than the world we know: reality here is constantly changing, and familiar logic gives way to hidden forces.

The plot centers on a wanderer named Horon, who is haunted by the shadows of his past. He is searching for a faceless boy who appears in his dreams, while also trying to unravel his own destiny. To move forward, the hero must unravel the mysteries of the city, confront the Monarchs who rule distant regions of the world, and cross the boundaries between ignorance and truth.

The developers are betting on free exploration of a semi-open world. The player chooses their own route through the Nameless City, interacts with the environment, and gradually changes the very fabric of dreams. Branching dialogues and choices play an important role, influencing characters and leading to alternative endings. The world of HYPNOS is multi-layered: as you progress, new levels of reality and hidden aspects of what is happening are revealed.

You can immerse yourself in the mind-bending dream world of HYPNOS on PC (Steam) and unnamed consoles. Russian localization has not yet been announced.
