About this game
There’s a rumor about a project buried deep inside some forgotten server - something that was never meant to be released. And once you open it… there’s no way out.
It’s not really a game. It’s a never-ending nightmare coded for people whose minds are already stuck inside the machine.
Welcome to Roach Royale - a brutal online horror experience where 44 players fight like hell for the slim chance to escape the loop.
Survival Features:
Path Through Purgatory: Your only goal is to reach the end of the map. Standing between you and freedom are heavy reinforced doors, brutal grinding traps, and creatures that used to be your friends. They don’t show mercy.
Become Your Own Nightmare: When you die, you don’t just disconnect. You come back as one of the monsters.
Cooperate or Betray: You can help your team push through the traps… or betray them. Your choice.
Quantum Imprisonment: Every player is just another sinner trapped in the code. You all get one shot at getting out - if you can actually cross that finish line alive.
The game starts now. Watch your back… and remember to breathe while you still can.
Welcome to Roach Royale.

Our game is finally out! Save 20% on purchase!
Three years ago, we began creating more than just a game—we began weaving a digital loop. We lived within this code every single day, battling bugs and refining the mechanics of "Roach Royale." Today, the loop is closed. We are proud to officially announce the release! Welcome to Purgatory. You are one of the souls trapped within an endless simulation. Your goal is simple: reach the finish line. But remember - Death is only the beginning: Fallen players do not leave the server. They are reborn as ghosts and monsters, driven by a single purpose—to drag the survivors down into the abyss. Cooperation or Sacrifice: Will you help a comrade pry open an armored door, or will you use them as a human shield against the nightmare? Massive Chaos: Up to 25 players in a single match. The more people join, the more insane the run becomes. We’ve gone through hundreds of playtests to make this experience truly unique. The game is packed with unusual mechanics and deep lore waiting to be uncovered.Your path into the abyss starts right now. Watch your step, and don’t forget to breathe.

Closed playtest has begun!
Hello everyone!A big moment for us has arrived - we’re launching our first playtest. We’ve been developing the game for three years and have been playing it ourselves every single day. But now it’s time to let you play :)This is still a very, very early version of the game. We’re far from a demo or an open playtest. There’s still a lot of work ahead. But it’s important for us to give the game to you now and hear your first thoughts and impressions.Right now the game has no tutorial, and you can’t just press the Play button to jump right in. Plus there are lots of bugs. So we’re inviting those who are ready to push through all that and see what we’ve been building.To play the game, you need to request access to the playtest. Once your request is approved, the game will appear in your Steam library. Then launch the game and either create a server or join an existing one. Servers have different settings - feel free to try various options.The goal of the game - run through the entire level and make it out in time. You run together with other inmates. Standing in your way are player-controlled ghosts who can spawn monsters and possess them. If an inmate dies several times, they also become a ghost - and in that role, they try to eliminate the remaining inmates.If you get access to the playtest, you can invite your friends. Definitely bring them - the game is much more fun together. Up to 40 players can join a match, but even 5-7 people is already fun. More than 10 - super cool.We’re very excited to begin this early testing phase. We’ll be waiting for your feedback, thoughts, and impressions. Sorry for all the bugs and rough edges - the game has a lot of systems, and it’s quite unique and unusual. It’s not an easy one to make. But we’re confident we can create one of the most vivid and memorable games out there.This is just the beginning!Join our Discord to find players: https://discord.gg/5ZxcUGUamfRead full article on Community Announcements (agrippa)AnnouncementsOfficial
