01At a glance

A saga, and a life.

Baldur's Gate–style choices, the warmth of Stardew Valley's daily life and Mount & Blade–scale battles, brought together in one hand-drawn world.

Choices that last: d20 checks, honour and ambition, bosses that surrender, peoples that remember for years — and more than eight endings across three books.
The world lives without you: woodcutters fell trees, builders raise houses, plague or fire breaks out, peoples go to war.
Every door opens: 84% of buildings can be entered, with notes, hidden compartments, locked chests and the secrets of the people who live there.
As much life as adventure: farming, fishing, crafting, marriage, children and inheritance; a bond with your mount and your dog.
The full game on a phone too — the same content on Android, Mac, Windows and the browser. Offline, ad-free, no in-app purchases.

02Story

Three books, one road.

An evil sealed for ages in the depths of the Black Tower is waking. The peoples have forgotten their old oaths — and a former prisoner wearing the Blood Seal falls, unwillingly, into the middle of it all.

Book I · The Black Crown (chapters 1–6) — from Yeşilvadi to the gates of Demirkale, the Red Steppe and the Land of Giants. Gather four seals, stop Morvath and decide the fate of a waking dragon.
Book II · Queen of Night (chapters 7–12) — the desert city of Altınkum, the Fairy Realm, the realms of the Dead and of Fire, the Sunken City. At the end: the Night Gate and Nyx.
Book III · Broken Banners (chapters 13–18) — the king is poisoned and the peoples turned against each other. 15 major decisions, 6 field battles, 4 endings and an 11-page epilogue.

Opening cinematic: giants, orcs and humans founding their homelands — Opening cinematic, “The Tale of the Realms”.

Three peoples swearing an oath around a glowing sigil — Dwarves, orcs and giants set old grudges aside — for now.

03Opening

The prisoner of Kararorman.

The game doesn't begin with a hero. It begins with a prisoner waking in a cell on the morning of an execution.

Your crime depends on your race and origin — a citizen of Aslankale stands accused of stealing a warhorse from the royal stables.
An old cellmate, the walk to the gallows, the murmur of the crowd, your last words.
A pardon arrives at the last moment — at the price of the Blood Seal on your neck.
Into Kararorman with a simple sword: survival and combat are taught while you play. Every origin has its own opening, and it can be skipped.

“From here on, it's your business.” The prisoner alone in a dark forest

04Your hero

Who you are matters.

Race isn't just a look. Characters treat you accordingly, and some doors only open for some people.

6 races, 14 origins — elves see in the dark, dwarves shrug off poison, orcs grow angrier as they bleed, giantkin ignore the cold. Each origin has its own opening and quest chain.
5 classes, 10 subclasses — Knight, Archer, Mage, Witch Hunter and the shapeshifting Druid. Seven abilities and two paths per class; level cap 60.
Your look, your call: skin, hair, beard and eyes; 25 cosmetic outfits at the tailor, a new cut at the barber; wear any look over your armour.

05Choices & politics

The world remembers.

No two players finish the same chapter the same way.

d20 skill checks and dialogue options that open up based on who you are.
Honour and ambition: every decision leaves a mark in your ledger. Spare a defeated boss, exile them or put them in chains.
Seven factions wage war, make peace and form alliances. Fronts appear on the map; news arrives by raven.
Six clans, five ranks: swear to a banner, rise through it — or found your own clan.
Field battles with up to 68 soldiers: infantry, spearmen, archers, cavalry and giants. Give orders, hold morale.

06A living world

A world that turns without you.

Aslankale is a real capital, with four gated walls and its own neighbourhoods.

Up to 72 people on the streets, crowds that change with the hour, town criers, street musicians, jugglers and brawls.
Guards and crime: witnesses report you and wanted stars rise. Surrender, bribe or run.
City events — a fair, a royal wedding, plague, a great fire, an execution — spread as news and change the streets.
29 professions at work: woodcutters, builders, fishers. Lend a hand, or buy straight from the maker.
A reactive world: spreading fire, freezing water, powder kegs, pushable boulders and dungeon puzzles.

07Exploration & stealth

Behind every door, a story.

You can step inside 84% of the buildings in the world. Someone lives there — and at night, they sleep.

13 interior styles: farmhouse, dwarven stone house, elven home, orc tent, witch's hut, noble manor…
Readable notes and diaries, hidden compartments, map fragments, a collection of 24 curiosities and 24 house quests.
Stealth: crouch, slip past vision cones, watch the ring of suspicion.
Lockpicking mini-game, pickpocketing and shady fences for stolen goods. The first offence is a warning; after that it's on your conscience.

Inside an orc tent: “Leave your weapon at the door… kidding. Come in.”

Lockpicking: tap when the pin is in the golden zone

08Companions

You never walk alone.

Every companion has their own past, their own quest chain — and an opinion about your choices.

11 companions — a healer priestess, a fire mage, a shield tank, a tracker, a thief, a bard, a dwarven artisan, a druid and more. Travel as a party of three.
Campfire conversations, 19 duo talks between companions, heart events and marriage.
Family and legacy: your children grow up, train and become companions; your heir can take over the game.
A loyal dog: adopt, name, sniff out buried treasure, growl at danger, bite in battle.
Mounts from a village horse to a griffon, a witch's broom or a red dragon. Care deepens the bond; at bond 10, a special ability.

09Discovery

The blank spaces on the map.

In a world of 48,000 × 15,000 pixels, every hill and every waterfall might be hiding something.

12 treasures behind riddled, hand-drawn maps — some only findable at night, in the rain or on misty mornings. Dig with a shovel or with your dog.
5 secret dungeons — the Sunken Temple, the Forgotten Dwarf Forge, the Witch's Cellar, the Ruins of the Dragon's Nest and the Elven Cemetery — each with its own boss and legendary reward.
Exploration percentage across 18 regions; reach 100% for a title, a banner and a celebration.
Parchment atlases for dungeons and the underworld, travel stones, climbing and a gliding cloak.

10Sky & seasons

Look up.

The sky is part of the game. Events are announced two days ahead — prepare, or get out of the way.

Blood Moon: the sky turns red and the dead rise from their graves.
Solar eclipse: shadows come alive and witches grow stronger.
A comet splits the sky and leaves a crater where it lands; northern lights and meteor showers return.
Four seasons change the weather, the crops and market prices — each with its own festival. Day and night, rain and storms, windows that light up after dark.

11Combat & loot

The weight of the sword.

Fast, readable, satisfying action — and then a Diablo-style hunt for loot.

Three-hit combos, blocking and a perfect parry. Enemy attacks are telegraphed; bosses enrage.
Every ability has its own effect: meteor, ice ring, chain lightning, holy fire.
Loot with 5 rarities, 33 random affixes, 18 legendary powers, 15 unique items and 6 sets.
Beams of light on drops, comparison cards, blacksmith upgrades up to +10, rerolling and salvage.
Elites and treasure rooms in the Well of Depths, with a weekly record board. Injuries, bandages and healers.

Trade: run your own caravan, buy property, govern a village, sail to the islands.

Your farm: crops, a barn, cows and chickens

13Fame & legend

Let them speak your name.

Everything you do becomes a story — and the story reaches town before you do.

Renown from Unknown to Legend: hero or feared, children copy you, bandits flee, prices change. 15 titles.
The Hero's Journal writes what you did in your own voice, and is read back as “Your Story” in the epilogue.
A travelling circus — fire-eaters, acrobats, a dancing bear — seasonal festivals, horse races, grape stomping. 60+ achievements.

14Realms

From village to glacier.

39 biomes, each with its own creatures, music and people.

Yeşilvadi and its plains, the walled capital Aslankale, the dwarven fortress Demirkale, the orc homeland Taşyürek.
