You don't need to have played Withering Rooms to fully enjoy Withering Realms. You can play them in either order and discover new story aspects both directions. That said, if you are a fan of Rooms, I put a few new details about how the games relate here:

The second official trailer for my upcoming horror action RPG Withering Realms is up now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAxS...
This one shows a few new mechanics, such as the camera, occult hand, blurry ghosts, and more. #wishlistwednesday
I made a developer breakdown for Withering Realm's four-armed combat. All footage is from the first area of the game, so it's not too spoiler-y.

It is technically a sequel, but written in such a way that you don't need to know anything about Withering Rooms and can play them in either order.
If anyone has ideas for devlog topics, I'd love to hear them. The first one will cover the combat system and how it relates/differs from Withering Rooms.
Hello friends, I’ve had my head down working very hard on Withering Realms. I had hoped to bring it to Early Access by the end of this year, but the beast is proving difficult to slay. The new Early Access date is Q2 2026. In the meantime, I’ll be sharing regular updates again, starting with a devlog. Thank you so much for your patience and support. This game will absolutely be worth the wait. Moonless Formless
Two new interviews you can read about Withering Realms, with some details on upgrading, builds, crafting system, fixed camera angles, Welsh culture, and more:

I asked @moonlessformless.bsky.social some questions about his brilliant debut game #WitheringRooms, a Victorian era horror RPG set in #Wales.
With #WitheringRealms now in development, learn where the #Welsh influence comes from, the challenges he faced, and more.

Diolch!
That would be super cool but also super likely to wind up costing me a lot more than it makes given manufacturing costs. Maybe I can do a dual release of Withering Realms/Rooms soundtrack down the line though! Very excited just thinking about it.
Another milestone slain! Withering Realms now gets more wishlists each day than Withering Rooms got in its first 4 months. Thank you!
#WitheringRooms is a 2024 horror RPG by @moonlessformless.bsky.social set in Monmouthshire, #Wales, between 1892 and 1916.
Countless #Welsh references exist, such as zombies that speak #Cymraeg, posters written in Welsh, and areas with Welsh names.

Clover can cast spells at any time, even while The Doll is mid swing. Here she casts a green "flash spell" which speeds up The Doll by 25% for 3 seconds - very effective on weapons with lots of fast individual hits like the Chain Dagger or Machine Gun.

Here's the full version of the track from the trailer:
Using the Chain Rock to smash open secret passages is very satisfying, but you won't always like what's on the other side.

Thank you for the incredible response to Withering Realms! I've posted a Gameplay Details & FAQ article on Steam with a few more details like what gameplay is like, console release, relationship to Withering Rooms and more:

Basically this!
One of the many freaky little guys in Withering Realms. His job is to sit in the middle of the pond hurling up balls of mud at you until you find your first ranged weapon.

I love how 'The Doll' is a total freak. look at that beautiful smile. we always need more games where you can play as creepazoids.
I cannot wait for you all to get to play this game this fall in Early Access on Steam! The full release will include consoles.
Because Clover rides on the doll's back, she can use items or cast spells at any time, even while the Doll is mid-attack. Create an explosive sigil on the ground just as the doll's attack lands, or heal while in mid-swing.
Penwyll's local mechanical genius can create new attachments for the doll's missing right arm like the Pivoting Greatsword, Chain Rock, Machinegun, or Flamethrower. Some attachments allow you to find new treasure or secrets in old areas.
The game features a world map that slowly expands. Explore a field or dungeon, then bring the spoils back to Penwyll to upgrade The Doll. Minute to minute gameplay is like top-down Zelda meets Bloodborne. Start any area at nighttime to encounter new, horrifying creatures.
