About the Game

You are the sole survivor of the ruthless witch-hunts that eradicated all magic over 50 years ago. After a lifetime in prison, a royal bargain sets you free, tasking you with unleashing the chaos once sealed as the kingdom's last resort against an impending invasion. As you reconnect with your mystical potential, you face a crucial choice: wreak havoc with ancient spirits, monsters, and curses, or does the realm deserve a gentler touch?




Innovative turn-based combat allows you to combine 9 alchemical symbols into 30 powerful sigils, promptly smiting a man or something far more foul. Unlock all symbols and develop new strategies through their creative combinations.



Magic is never fully banished; the right ritual will surely bring back forces, whether merciful or chaotic. Turn dormant monuments into living places of magic.



Rebuild a magical order from the ashes in a customizable underground scriptorium and restore its former occult splendor. Find and convert new followers, and let the chants echo through your halls once again.




  • Dense Open World - Content over size. In the world of Rubedo, each space is made to serve a purpose.
  • Joinable Factions - Join one of 3 factions and unlock faction-specific armor, quests, and storylines.
  • Story Where Choices Matter - Are you on a revenge mission, or will you steer the realm towards a new golden era of magic?
  • Choice-Based Character Progression - Your attributes don't grow through clicks in the UI. Instead, your dialogue and quest choices determine your nature: Chaos, Mercy, or Truth.
  • Alchemy - Alchemy isn't just about brewing potions; it's about transforming the world and yourself. Empower your character through the rigorous research of a true alchemist.
  • Build Your Own Home - Resurrecting ancient mystical traditions wouldn't be complete without your own occult hideout. Build your chambers, assemble your alchemical equipment, dust off the library, and light up the hearths.
