Dirge

From the Devs

Welcome to Dirge, a chilling multiplayer horror game set during the post-World War II period, when sinister monsters emerged and caused disturbances around the globe. Join the Paranormal Investigator Task Force and unravel the mysteries behind these supernatural occurrences. With up to four investigators and one player taking on the role of a terrifying monster, you must work together to survive and complete tasks to vanquish the unspeakable evil.

In a world recovering from the ravages of war, darkness has found a new foothold. The appearance of horrifying monsters has led to the formation of the Paranormal Investigator Task Force, tasked with venturing into the heart of darkness to uncover the chilling secrets hidden within the shadows. Each encounter will test your courage, skill, and resolve, as you face twisted beings with terrifying powers and confront the malevolent forces that now roam the earth.



Team up with friends locally or online as an investigator to explore haunted locations, defeat AI-controlled minions, and gather crucial items. Work together to overcome the unique challenges posed by each creature and complete the tasks necessary to banish the evil that haunts the world. Coordination and strategy are key, as you navigate treacherous environments and face the relentless onslaught of paranormal adversaries.



Experience heart-racing asymmetrical multiplayer in Dirge's online PvP. In each chilling match, one player assumes the role of the monster, while up to four others join forces as paranormal investigators. As the monster, you'll leverage the shadows, terrain, and your inhuman might to hunt the investigators, who must cooperate to complete their objectives while evading your pursuit. Every decision can mean the difference between survival or an untimely demise. In this game of cat and mouse, the stakes are high: will you succumb to fear or become the predator?



Death is only the beginning in Dirge. Once you fall, you don't merely spectate; you continue contributing to your team's success as a spirit orb. Free to roam the map and see beyond the veil, your spectral sight allows you to ping crucial items and lurking monsters for your still living teammates. This ensures you remain a strategic asset to your team's survival even from beyond the grave, transforming your experience from passive spectator to proactive Spooktator. Turn the tables on terror and guide your team towards victory, even in the afterlife.



Dive into a roster of uniquely talented characters, each bringing their own skills and advantages to the eerie gameplay. As an investigator, you'll choose from various members of the Paranormal Investigator Task Force, each with unique abilities, items, and skillsets that will help your team in the face of paranormal threats. You'll need to strategize and play to your strengths to survive the night.

On the other side of the fear, assume control of one of three spine-chilling monsters. Lurk unseen as the Wraith in the shadow realm, setting traps and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Unleash devastating power as you temporarily become physical unleashing your attacks on the pathetic humans. Charge up with an extra reserve of power by resting in your dank lair. Kill every last one of the investigators as you master your powers and dominate the night. Check out other monsters as well.



Discover the richly detailed environments of Hillview Manor, Quetico Forest & City of Wakefield. Each hand-crafted map is filled with secrets and challenges that will keep you on the edge of your seat as you strive to claim victory in co-op or defeat your foes in PvP. Unravel the mysteries hidden within these eerie locations, and uncover the truth behind the supernatural forces that threaten the world.
