The Secret of Weepstone Is a Stunning D&D-inspired RPG

DreadXP and Talesworth Game Studio have revealed The Secret of Weepstone—a hand-drawn, monochrome dungeon-crawling RPG that channels the old-school Dungeons & Dragons vibes from the ’70s and ’80s. It is scheduled to release on PC in 2026, with its first demo playable at PAX West 2025 at the DreadXP booth.

Check out the sleek new official trailer below.

In The Secret of Weepstone, expect all the standard tabletop hallmarks — dice rolls, skill checks, puzzles, teaming up with party members, and grabbing equipment and loot as you go.

The Secret of Weepstone Overview

In the shadow of a crumbling abandoned keep lies the forsaken village of Weepstone. Once a thriving settlement, it now withers in silence, fields barren, crops dead, people in fear. Byron, Lord of Weepstone, is ill and bedridden, haunted by night terrors of unholy rituals and unknowable forces. With no champions to call upon, it falls to the commonfolk of the town to face the unknown, confront whatever powers are to blame, and discover the secrets that are held within the crumbling walls. This is not a tale of heroes, this is a tale of those who do what they must to survive.

The Secret of Weepstone is a dungeon-crawling RPG rendered entirely in striking hand-drawn black and white, an atmospheric love letter to the tabletop adventures and art of the 70s and 80s. Level up your party, uncover powerful new equipment to aid you in battle, survive deadly encounters, and snatch up all the loot you can. Will the dice fall in your favor?

Guide your party of misfits and unlikely delvers into almost certain death. Scrounge, loot, pilfer and abscond with anything not nailed down in an effort to equip your group for deadly encounters.
