Madmind Announce Hellish Strategy Game ‘Agony: Lords of Hell’
If you’re wondering what happened during the time between Madmind Studios’ Agony and Succubus, you’ll have your answer with Team Alpha’s Agony: Lords of Hell. Per RelyOnHorror, the upcoming strategy game will serve as a bridge between Agony and Succubus, and draws inspiration from classic strategy game Populus.
Lords of Hell‘s story will focus on the fate of the main characters of Agony and Succubus – King Nimrod and Vydija (the succubus in Succubus). After Nimrod usurps the throne at the end of Agony, a war for the rightful owner of the throne breaks out between the lords of Hell that rule over the different lands. Players will be tasked with maintaining Nimrod and Vydija’s foothold, but also expand their empire and crush opposition.
The game will be split between Nimrod’s city-building and army management, while Vydija will serve as the main unit of Nimrod’s army. Vydija can also use her abilities to seduce and incorporate unaligned martyrs into the army.
Similar to the recently-announced HELP ME!, Madmind is turning to Kickstarter next year to help gauge the scale of the project. A demo version of the game will be available to players supporting the project to help them get accustomed to the game.

Horror Action-Adventure Title ‘EONA’ Appearing at Gamescom 2026; New Gameplay Trailer Released [Watch]
With gamescom 2026 right around the corner, developer/publisher SUPER AC has revealed that their upcoming horror adventure game EONA will be making an appearance at the show, which takes place from August 26-30. In addition, the team has revealed a new gameplay trailer, as well as announcing that the game will launch “just a few weeks” after gamescom.
Those attending gamescom will be able to play the final version of EONA at the SUPER AC booth, located in Hall 10.1, Booth A043. If you’re not able to attend, you can always check out the demo for the game on Steam.
EONA centres around the eponymous girl, who after a failed spell, has her soul split into two, with one half residing in a mysterious puppet. Eona must enter the castle of the evil fairy Mélusine and recover an artifact that is the only hope of saving her mother. But the path through the castle comes at a cost. To achieve her goal, Eona must uncover the castle’s secrets… and ultimately confront Mélusine herself.
Eona wields the Puppeteer’s Cross, a stolen artifact that allows her to manipulate the souls of the castle’s servants. By altering their behavior, redirecting their patrol routes, and disrupting the castle’s order, she can turn its own inhabitants against it. She can also swap between her human body and her puppet form, with each form granting unique abilities that are essential for delving deeper into the castle, reaching inaccessible areas, and uncovering its hidden secrets.
Blending stealth, exploration, puzzle-solving and soul manipulation, you’ll use Eona’s supernatural abilities to overcome obstacles—but never lose sight of your own body, which is completely vulnerable when using her puppet form.
In addition to Steam, EONA will also be launching on the Epic Games Store.
