Dread Eagle is a first-person action-adventure horror game developed by Tarba Paul Cornel and Abdul Rafy, and published by Galactic Crows. In the game, players participate in an experiment set in a secret facility in Romania. They must delve into the depths of the Soviet-led trials to uncover the true nature of the experiments and discover what happened to those who participated in them.
The game is scheduled to launch in Early Access in 2026, giving players a head start into its disturbing world while contributing feedback during development.
Set in Unitatea 91-C, Dread Eagle places players at the center of a brutal Soviet experiment led by Sebastian Dobrev. As the facility slowly collapses under the weight of its past, players must explore its depths, uncover disturbing truths, and face what remains of the test subjects left behind
The game offers both a single-player campaign and competitive multiplayer modes, including 1v1 and 2v2 gameplay. Each multiplayer round begins with a twisted form of Russian roulette, where players are linked to a shared gas system, and one pump determines the outcome. Losing the gamble does not mean instant death, but instead sends the defeated player into an execution chamber.
The winning player must carry out the execution while surviving environmental hazards and unpredictable threats. Meanwhile, the defeated player returns as a hostile entity, actively attempting to stop the execution and protect their former body, turning every round into a tense psychological confrontation
