About the Game

"Sails on the horizon... Why they came, we did not know... Destruction, chains..."

Code of The Savage is a dark fantasy RPG about vengeance, survival, and carving your own path through a brutal world. After escaping a slave ship, you wash ashore in chains on the island kingdom of Daneth. Alone and hunted, you must fight to survive in a land where cruelty is common and easy answers are rare.

Inspired by the great RPGs of the 80s and 90s, Code of The Savage combines classic non-linear exploration with a modern presentation. The world of Daneth is hand-crafted and designed to reward curiosity, danger, and discovery. Rather than burying you in lore from the outset, the game invites you to uncover its history naturally through exploration, conversation, and experience.

The people of Daneth are more than quest dispensers. They work, eat, sleep, and follow their own routines. They have personalities, troubles, and secrets of their own, and your actions can shape how their stories unfold.

This is a dark and grounded RPG that does not shy away from cruelty, cost, and unsettling choices. It is also a game built with a deep love for the classics: hand-crafted worlds, dangerous exploration, memorable characters, real-time combat, and the satisfaction of slowly carving your own path.
