About the Game

Ex Vitium is a first-person dungeon crawler where you discover a realm called Asylum - wracked by Distortion, inhabited by grotesque, twisted creatures born of human sin.

Explore a world where good and evil lose all meaning, and every answer leads to ever more unsettling questions.

Unearth a story full of secrets and uncomfortable truths that have remained buried for centuries.

Traverse the forgotten corners of the Asylum. Once bustling with life, today they are only a distorted shadow of their former selves.

Your expedition begins in the light of day, but the paths that lead to the heart of Distortion will force you to delve into the darkness of this world.

Death doesn’t mean it’s over – it’s simply part of your journey.

Each Mercenary brings a distinct combat style, specialized equipment, and unique advantages to the fray. Master their talents, adapt your strategy to the horrors ahead, and confront terrifying enemies in grueling battles that push your reflexes and tactical mind to the limit.

Every decision carries weight, with the Distortion system directly altering the landscape of the Asylum. 

Take bold risks to either quell the spread of corruption or intentionally advance it. You bear the full weight of your actions, shaping both the unfolding history and the physical world around you. 

  • Explore a dark fantasy world consumed by the Distortion.

  • Lead expeditions through interconnected regions of the Asylum.

  • Become one of the merceneries with unique weapons, abilities, and combat styles.

  • Fight challenging enemies and powerful bosses in tactical real-time battles.

  • Shape the world through the Distortion system, which changes environments, encounters, and story outcomes.

  • Discover hidden lore, secrets, and multiple narrative paths.

  • Even failure pushes you forward - every expedition leaves a lasting mark on the game world.

In Ex Vitium, every expedition leaves a lasting mark. What price are you willing to pay to uncover the truth?
