About the Game

⚔️ You are not the hero.

You are one of the forsaken.

In a fractured kingdom inspired by Arthurian legends, survival is only the beginning.
Your choices will shape your reputation… and the world around you.

👥 YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Whether you walk this path alone or with another, you will never truly be alone.

  • Play solo with an AI companion who fights and travels with you

  • Play in co-op with up to 2 players

  • Share decisions, risks, and consequences

Your companion is not just support.
They are part of your journey… and part of your story.

Your bond can grow — or break.

🌍 A WORLD THAT REMEMBERS

This is not a static world.

Every action has consequences.

Help a village, and it may thrive.
Exploit it, and it may turn against you.

  • Dynamic reputation system

  • Villages react to your choices

  • Unlock — or lose — opportunities

The world is watching.

🛠️ SURVIVE OR FALL

You are not powerful.
You must become it.

  • Manage hunger, thirst, and stamina

  • Gather resources, craft, and build

  • Progress through skills, titles, and reputation

Every decision can keep you alive… or get you killed.

🏰 SHAPE YOUR OWN PATH

There is no single way to play.

  • Follow the main story… or ignore it

  • Help people… or use them

  • Explore freely or focus on survival

Your journey defines who you become.

🧭 A DARK ARTHURIAN LEGEND

A story inspired by myth — grounded in a harsh reality.

  • Narrative-driven quests

  • Parallel storylines

  • Meaningful choices

You are not the chosen one.
But your actions will decide what remains.

⚔️ DANGER IS EVERYWHERE

The world is unforgiving.

  • Melee combat

  • Exploration mechanics (climbing, narrow passages…)

  • Hidden threats and encounters

If you are not prepared… you will fall.

🏰 A LIVING WORLD

Villages evolve.
Reputation spreads.
Consequences remain.

Nothing is forgotten.
