About the Game

The Sun is dead. The World is still. Welcome to the Requiem.

Auredis: Vaelen's Requiem is a punishing, atmospheric Action RPG set in a world trapped in a 650-year-long Eclipse.

In the golden capital of Sol-Nihil, time has stopped. The curse of "Stagnation" has taken hold—a magical plague that does not kill, but binds. Soldiers are fused to their iron armor; horses are merged with the cobblestones; and the once-great King is petrified upon his throne.

You are the Unfused. An anomaly. A warrior immune to the stone curse. You alone can traverse the silent city, shatter the stagnation, and confront the Lich King who stole the sun.

A World of Beautiful Decay

Explore the haunting verticality of Sol-Nihil. Your journey begins in the mud-choked Outer Ramparts, where the bodies of a centuries-old war have become the terrain itself. Ascend through the Silent City, a gothic labyrinth of ash and gold, and climb the treacherous Spire of Sol.

Every corner of this hand-crafted world tells a story of betrayal. Uncover the history of King Aurelius, the puppet ruler, and Vaelen, the Royal Advisor who condemned a civilization to eternal twilight.

Visceral, Tactical Combat

Survival in Auredis requires patience, precision, and nerve.

  • The Weight of Iron: Combat is deliberate and stamina-based. panic-rolling will lead to death. Study your enemy, parry their strikes, and find the rhythm in the chaos.

  • The "Severing" Mechanic: Many enemies are physically fused to the environment or their own wargear. Utilize heavy, shattering attacks to break these calcified bonds, staggering your foes and exposing their weak points.

  • Build Your Champion: Harvest "Stardust" from fallen enemies to increase your attributes. Discover hidden weapons, enchanted artifacts, and ancient armors to tailor your playstyle.

Key Features

  • The Eclipse Capital: A seamless, interconnected world with no loading screens between zones. Unlock elevators, kick down ladders, and open gates to master the geography of the city.

  • Epic Boss Encounters: Challenge the tragic guardians of the stagnation—from Gorgon, the Fused Sentinel, to the sorrowful Dead King, and finally, the cosmic horror of Vaelen, the Lich King.

  • Environmental Storytelling: No quest markers. No minimaps. Piecing together the tragedy of Auredis requires observation of the world and the descriptions of the items you find.

  • A Compact, Curated Experience: A focused, high-quality journey designed to test your skill, not your time.

The Eclipse waits for no one. Will you let the world rot in silence, or will you bring the fire?
