About the Game

The Wanderer has been marked for death, and the Killer will collect...

Delve is an esoteric adventure-RPG that combines a mind-bending story with classic, satisfying JRPG combat. The Wanderer, a blank slate of a person, has been dropped into the strange world of Esoteria, grasping at memories from their early life on Earth. Upon their arrival, they are menaced by a smiling killer, who vows to murder them. The Killer lets the Wanderer loose, promising that when they least expect it, he will appear and end their story at the tip of his blade. But can the Wanderer fight back? Will you?
