ERLIK

From the Devs

Draw the steppe's restless dead onto your blades and survive the Long Night. But how you survive is the choice that defines you.

⚔ TWO OPPOSED WAYS TO PLAY — MECHANICALLY, NOT COSMETICALLY

Every run drifts along the Erlik ↔ Tengri axis — a living spectrum between corruption and light:

• Erlik (corruption) — savage damage, crits and lifesteal… but your max health burns away and every hit cuts deeper.

• Tengri (the light) — regeneration, cleansing and shields… at a lower damage ceiling.

Your weapons evolve down both paths. The same weapon and passive fork differently depending on which way you've leaned — so no two builds, and no two runs, feel the same.

The axis is the game.

🔥 EARLY ACCESS FEATURES

• 9 playable Kam (shamans), each with a distinct spirit and axis lean

• 9 base weapons + 14 evolutions — nine distinct feels, axis-gated

• 14 passives, including the axis-steering Cleansing & Grace

• A living bestiary — chasers, plague-wraiths, splitters, nightmare-orbs, elites and named mini-bosses — climaxing in a 30-minute boss

• The Kut Hearth — permanent meta-progression between runs

• Hand-crafted pixel art + an original adaptive soundtrack

• Full localization in 8 languages

🐺 A FOLK-HORROR NO ONE ELSE IS TELLING

Not Norse, not generic dark-fantasy — Turkic and Anatolian myth. Kams, the underworld god Erlik, the sky-father Tengri, and the horrors of the steppe night: Gulyabani, Karabasan, the wolf Itbarak. A world you haven't survived before.

Most survivors games ask "what's the strongest build?" ERLIK asks "who do you become to survive?"

Cross into dawn — or be consumed.
