IRSEN now has a public Steam page. You can add the game to your wishlist and follow future development updates here on Steam.

IRSEN is a turn-based roguelite where your character fights alone against coordinated enemy squads. The game focuses on tactical combat, gene-based character building, skill chains, mutations, and adapting your build during each run.

Before opening the Steam page, I had already published a series of devblogs about the main systems of the game. These posts are not just progress reports, each one explains a specific part of IRSEN: combat, genes, skill chains, enemy roles, corruption, mutations, properties, and the Gene Lab.

From now on, new devblogs will also be published here on Steam.
