About the Game



Exilium: Kiro - A Steampunk Fantasy Visual Novel

Overview:
Dive into the gritty, magic-lit streets of Dalmar, the capital of a vast empire where blood magic clashes with steam-powered marvels. You are Onuk—a mere human, a street thug fighting for survival in a city that chews up and spits out the weak. Your only currency is your life, and you're willing to bet it all to find your place in this terrifying machine. In Dalmar, everyone must know their place. The question is, how will you carve out yours?

The World of Exilium:
For over a decade in the making, the world of Exilium is a rich, living universe born from our original tabletop RPG. This is not a generic fantasy:

  • A Clash of Eras: Experience a unique blend of dark fantasy and industrial revolution, where sorcery is a weapon and technology is a cruel miracle.

  • A Tapestry of Races: Interact with a diverse cast of Dvergs, Sylphs, Humans, Zels, Ogres, Mogres, and magically-engineered hybrids.

  • Vampires Reimagined: Forget outcasts. Here, vampires are war heroes, a biological weapon revered and feared by the Empire.

Your Story:
Forge your path through the horrors of the Lower City's underbelly. Make dangerous alliances, face impossible choices, and risk everything you have—because you have nothing left to lose. This kinetic visual novel pulls you deep into a story of survival, power, and finding your worth in a world that tells you you have none.

Key Features:

  • A Deep, Original World: Explore the decade-developed lore of Exilium, a setting where every alley has a history.

  • A Hardboiled Protagonist: Live as Onuk, a human bandit using wits and grit to survive in a city designed to break him.

  • Mature & Gripping Narrative: A story for adults, dealing with themes of survival, social hierarchy, and the cost of ambition.

  • Stunning Visuals: Immerse yourself in the grim and beautiful city of Dalmar through detailed artwork and character portraits.

  • Kinetic Experience: A focused, linear narrative ensures you experience every twist and turn of Onuk's fateful journey.

    Due to a new Steam policy, all new NSFW content will be released as free DLC in future updates.
