Cult hit No Players Online gets full release in November

Beeswax Games’ 2019 cult hit No Players Online is getting expanded into a full release.

Announced today, the game will arrive on November 6 on PC (via Steam). Black Lantern Collective will handle the game’s publishing. A release date trailer can be seen here.

Beeswax Games’ Adam Pype said this about the game:

“Our aim was to take the concept of an empty multiplayer server and treat it as a world in itself. Every detail, from the sound of the modem to the flicker of the maps, tells part of the story. It is as much about how players explore as it is about what they find.”

A synopsis for No Players Online reads:

You begin playing on an old computer where you explore a desktop filled with mysterious folders, corrupted files, and forgotten software. Among them lies a broken FPS shooter that seems to have been left running for years. What starts as a harmless curiosity becomes a descent into a digital labyrinth, where each login reveals new secrets about the world behind the screen.

Learn the story behind why a developer is trying to bring his partner back to life by trapping her in the game and dive into the history of their relationship, grief, obsession and the dynamics of an artist couple dealing with illness and identity through his work. No Players Online becomes an allegory of sorts about not being able to let go and leave things unfinished. Explore eerie maps once built for competition but now inhabited by strange figures and remnants of the past. But, beyond the matches lies a growing web of hidden files, encrypted messages, and clues that suggest the system itself may be haunted by its own creation. Every discovery brings you closer to uncovering the truth about who built the game, why it was abandoned, and what still lingers inside it.

No Players Online can be wishlisted on Steam right now here. A demo is available for Steam users.
