How it feels

A classic cRPG with tactical real-time combat and deep lore, where you explore a war-torn fantasy land and uncover your hidden legacy.

What players say

Players call it a mixed indie homage to early Baldur's Gate. It starts slow and gets better after chapter 2, but many complain about MMO-style fetch quests, clunky inventory, and punishing evil alignment choices. Performance issues and long load times are common complaints.
