Dirge

Dirge is a multiplayer horror game set in the years after World War II, when sinister monsters begin appearing around the world. You join the Paranormal Investigator Task Force to investigate supernatural events, uncover their mysteries and fight the evil behind them.

Investigators and monsters

In online PvP matches, one player controls a monster while up to four others play as investigators. Investigators cooperate to complete objectives and evade the monster, which uses the shadows, terrain and its inhuman powers to hunt them. You can also play as an investigator with friends locally or online, exploring haunted locations, defeating AI-controlled minions and gathering items to complete tasks that banish the evil. Each creature presents its own challenges, making coordination and strategy important.

Investigators come from the Paranormal Investigator Task Force and have different abilities, items and skillsets. You can also play as one of three monsters. The Wraith lurks unseen in a shadow realm, sets traps and can temporarily become physical to attack. It can rest in its lair to build an extra reserve of power.

Help from beyond

Death does not leave you spectating. As a spirit orb, you can roam the map, see beyond the veil and ping important items or lurking monsters for teammates who are still alive.

Haunted locations

The hand-crafted maps include Hillview Manor, Quetico Forest and City of Wakefield. Each contains secrets and challenges to uncover as you work with your team or face opponents in PvP.
