About the Game

Augustus is a pragmatic engineer, still clinging to the ashes of a world his god destroyed. Caesar, his son, was born among those ashes and dreams of escaping them.

Drawn into the Heremus—a vast desert wasteland hiding the secrets of the world before the Shaking and the prison that has trapped their people for generations—father and son set out with very different hopes. Augustus believes he can restore their fallen god and redeem his people. Caesar isn't so sure. He believes the corruption consuming the Heremus lies rooted beneath the sands.

As their journey unfolds, their faith, convictions, and bond will be tested by the secrets buried beneath the ruins of a broken world.

Core Mechanics:

  • Exploration & Quests
    Traverse a beautiful UHD 2D semi-open world packed with lore-rich NPCs, branching side quests, and narrative-driven objectives.

  • Strategic Turn-Based Combat
    Combat is dynamic, emphasizing enemy weakness exploitation. Breaking enemy guards through the AMP (Assault Momentum Protocol) system allows for powerful follow-up strikes.

  • Quick Time Events (QTEs)
    Add precision-based depth to combat—parry enemy blows, land critical hits, or activate timed combat bonuses during pivotal moments.

  • Overdrives
    As damage is taken, characters charge unique Overdrive attacks—devastating moves that can dramatically shift the momentum of battle, ideal for boss encounters.

  • Character Progression
    Gain experience, craft and loot equipment.

  • Robot Recruitment
    Negotiate with sentient machines in SMT V-style conversations to recruit them to your cause. Each robot comes with unique abilities and personalities. Harvest their cores to change your character's elemental resistances to gain an upper hand. 

Other Notable Features:

  • No Random Encounters – Enemies roam the environment, allowing players to strategize before engaging.

  • Loot and Craft – A deep item system rewards exploration and clever use of resources.

  • 16-bit SNES-style Sprites & 3D Models – A nostalgic yet modern visual hybrid.

  • Beautifully Orchestrated Music

  • Mini-Games Galore – A variety of fun distractions woven throughout the main game.
