Psychic Software has expanded its international recognition by earning three awards at the Imirt Irish Gaming Awards 2026 with its latest title, The Necromancer's Tale. The RPG received the Best Storytelling and Best Technical Achievement awards, while also securing the Runner Up position in the Best Art Direction category. The title, which currently holds very positive user reviews, is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, GOG, and Steam.


Set in an alternate version of 18th century Europe, the game places players in the role of a low ranking nobleman drawn to the secrets of necromancy while pursuing knowledge and revenge. The journey leads the protagonist down a path filled with forbidden rituals, supernatural events, and a gradual descent into madness, requiring caution to avoid both public condemnation and the hidden dangers of the dark arts.


Narrative is one of the experience's core pillars, featuring more than 150 non playable characters, each with unique portrait artwork and a meaningful role in the world. Interactions involve investigation, negotiation, coercion, and persuasion, while a trust system directly influences the options available throughout the campaign. As the protagonist's reputation declines, townsfolk become increasingly hostile, potentially leading to a trial or even a public execution.


The combat system focuses on tactical turn based battles, pitting the protagonist, allies, and reanimated servants against both human and supernatural enemies. Decisions made outside of combat also affect the course of the adventure, connecting narrative progression to the risks and consequences of every choice.


Exploration takes players to a fictional kingdom located near Venice and the Adriatic Sea in the year 1733. The setting blends the rise of rational thought with enduring superstition, creating a world where science and magic exist in constant tension. Political intrigue, alchemy, dark magic, and social conflict help shape a gothic atmosphere defined by danger and mystery.


With its emphasis on reactive storytelling, character development, and reputation management, Psychic Software's title aims to deliver an RPG experience where every decision carries meaningful weight. Its recent success at the Irish Gaming Awards highlights the very elements that define the game's identity, particularly its narrative depth and technical ambition.
