Across the Obelisk Launches Today under New Paradox Arc Publishing Initiative
Paradox Interactive, a publisher and developer with plenty of games on deck, announced the release of Across the Obelisk in partnership with Dreamsite Games as part of a new “Paradox Arc” publishing initiative within the company. Across the Obelisk, a deck-building RPG with cooperative play and rogue-lite features, is available now for all PC platforms at a discounted launch price of $14.99/£12.74/€14.99*.
The game’s debut marks the first title published through Paradox Arc, an initiative by Paradox to bring highly replayable games from small developers to global audiences, with more titles to be announced and released in the near future.
Across the Obelisk is a dynamic deckbuilding rogue-lite RPG from Dreamsite Games that challenges players to create a party from a diverse set of characters, engage in tactical card-based combat, and find a unique path across a world that changes in reaction to their decisions. Playable alone or with up to three friends, Across the Obelisk provides a different experience with each playthrough thanks to its branching world paths, highly customizable heroes, hundreds of different cards with variable upgrades, and much more. The game also offers a unique multiplayer experience, allowing each player to control a different hero and contribute to group decisions during the story.

The Paradox Arc publishing initiative is a new program within Paradox Interactive that aims to highlight unique designs and engaging games from small development teams, leveraging the publishing expertise Paradox has built over nearly 20 years of experience.
“Our goal with Paradox Arc is to surprise players with games they might not have known they needed to play,” said Sebastian Forsström, Head of Paradox Arc. “We’re publishing the kind of games that suddenly appear atop your ‘Most Played’ list. I can say from direct experience that Across the Obelisk fits this mold perfectly and I don’t think we could have asked for a better game for our premiere. I’m looking forward to sharing more Paradox Arc titles with everyone soon - and to inviting more developers to work with us.”
