Somnia is excited to announce the upcoming launch of Masks of the Void, a surreal roguelite action-RPG developed by RolldBox Games and supported by Uprising Labs. The game introduces players to the world of Iret, a mysterious protagonist who uses telekinetic powers to fend off the encroaching Neverending Night.
Designed for dynamic, high-impact gameplay, Masks of the Void empowers players to reshape the battlefield in real time. Environmental objects like debris, relics, and walls can be used as weapons. As players gain power, the world evolves in response. Enemies adapt, terrain shifts, and reality itself begins to fracture. The game supports multiple playstyles and procedurally generated runs, delivering unique experiences with every session.
By launching on Somnia, the game benefits from an infrastructure optimized for real-time, on-chain gaming. Somnia supports over 1 million transactions per second, with sub-second finality and sub-cent transaction costs. This technical foundation enables a seamless and scalable experience suitable for competitive and cooperative online gameplay.
Unlocking On-Chain Progression
Masks of the Void integrates with Uprising Labs’ Gamers L.A.B., the first fully on-chain player records system built on Somnia. Key player actions such as logins, sessions, pickups, and combat stats are captured immutably and in a composable format. This system provides transparent, verifiable data that enhances trust and enables new models for rewards and engagement.
Players will be able to access the game instantly through WebGL using any modern browser. All activity is tracked on-chain, and participants can earn a wide range of rewards, including NFTs, game passes, Steam keys, whitelist spots, and tokens that are usable across Uprising Labs, Dream Catalyst, and the broader Somnia ecosystem.
Masks of the Void will join a growing lineup of great games on Somnia, including the battle royale Maelstrom and Dream Catalyst titles like Mullet Cop: Mall Sim, Netherak Demons, and Dark Table.
These games highlight the creative potential of Somnia’s high performance infrastructure, using high-speed, low-cost transactions to power dynamic gameplay, player-owned assets, and real-time economies. From chaotic mall simulations to dark fantasy combat and strategic card battles, each title showcases how Somnia enables immersive, scalable experiences that simply aren’t possible on legacy chains.
Interested players and developers are encouraged to follow the game on X and join the Discord community for updates and announcements.
