10 itemsAbout the Game
Bard’s Fault takes the addictive loop of the Survivor genre and adds the one thing missing: Your Friends.
THE FELLOWSHIP ENGINE (Co-op)
● Don't fight alone: Interact between characters to generate unique combos.
● Synergy Matters: Each character brings abilities that shape the team’s composition.
BUILD YOUR SYMPHONY
● Deep Theory-crafting: No two runs are alike. Choose cards, Itens, and bonus skills.
● Visual Clarity: Enjoy a vibrant, cozy art style designed to let you see the action.
THE TREE OF TIME (Meta-Progression)
● Fail Forward: Dying is part of the plan. Your characters remember every loop, allowing you to return to the Tree of Time, upgrade your character, and investigate the cause of your own demise.
● Uncover the Mystery: Why is the timeline broken? Unlock narrative threads that persist across runs.
