About the Game

Enter the darkest age of mankind, in this open world, action-RPG, Eternal Dread.
Become Riel, a fresh adventurer in the Warrior’s Guild, who must endure in an unforgiving world.

Help her become a better survivor with experience, equipment as you struggle to find a way to fight back against the Elder Fiends threat.
The path however is not easy, for she is not a hero from an epic but merely a girl trying to eke out existence in the world conquered by the army of demons and fiends.

Can you help her survive against the overwhelming odds? Are you prepared for her death, time and time again in a world where death awaits at every corner?
