About the Game

From the Sanguis of the Mater, the Stillae are born. Elite warriors who bare the last of their divinity's hope, you will lead them in a battle to save a dying world. Fight in tactical combat against the forces of Stasis and restore the flow of life!

Your perfect plan

Plan your next moves with dynamic turn-based combat, strategically triggering epic chains of events across the battlefield:

  • Use Timeline Effects to speed up, delay or swap time position to impact turn order and outsmart your enemies.

  • Play with your surroundings that can explode, ignite enemies, or block sight... changing the outcome of the battles.

  • Leverage spatial effects like knock-backs, forced facings, flanking bonuses, and damage-over-time to dominate every encounter.

  • Unlock a vast arsenal of abilities, each offering powerful synergies and deep build customization.

Take on risks and progress

  • Choose your own path and difficulty as you progress through the map.

  • Take on high-risk, high-reward missions, head straight for boss encounters, or slow down to gather resources to increase your chance of success.

  • All missions contribute to gradual progress and reflect the type of experience you decide.

A Roguelite loop adapted to turn-based combat

  • With each return, each playthrough, you carve new strength from failure and victory alike, unlocking forgotten powers and braving ever darker depths, where your greatest enemies await.

  • The further away you venture toward the outer rim of the map, the harder the standard Missions become.

  • Regain memories and customize your Stillae for the next round by changing their loadouts and names.

A Crimson Rebellion

In a world drained by the Purge, blood is defiance. Each drop of it paints the world in reds and blacks, as a reminder that life fights back. This is not just violence, it's a vivid rebellion in a pale, colorless world against those who would see it in Stasis forever.
