About the Game

Dybbuk is a Single player / Hybrid PvP & Co-op horror game.

Teamwork Is Your Lifeline. Players must coordinate, communicate, and make difficult choices:

Should you split up to find statues faster?

Maybe it's better to stay together and fend off summoned creatures?

Do you risk carrying a statue alone?

Can you trust the player helping you, or is he already possessed?

Your decisions shape the flow of every match.

Face an ancient evil in this action multiplayer horror PvP/Co-op game.

A malevolent Dybbuk stalks your team. It is capable of summoning monsters, manipulating the environment utilizing supernatural abilities.

But the greatest threat is its hunger for a host.

When a player is caught by the Dybbuk, it becomes possessed and turns into the new demon with full control of its arsenal.

Gather your team, hunt the Dybbuk, and try to survive a shifting nightmare -

The monster can be any one of you!

Seal the Demon in the dybbuk box.

Your only hope is to locate and retrieve statues of Mesopotamian deities hidden throughout the environment. These sacred artifacts are the Dybbuk’s weakness. Return them to the Dybbuk Box, a vessel of containment and exorcism, to strip the demon of its powers.

  • Each statue removes one demonic ability

  • Every ability removed shifts the balance of power

  • The final statue will seal the Dybbuk in the box.

  • Carrying a statue makes you vulnerable.

The Dybbuk senses your intent and it will come for you.

A Win Condition Built on Urgency and Betrayal

Only non-possessed players can win. Once possessed, players must quickly pass the Dybbuk to another host before its abilities are stripped away! creating constant pressure and shifting power dynamics.
