About
Runeous is a 2 part story. In this episode we introduce the characters and the main plot which will be concluded in part 2.
Each installment is free to play and serve as a beginning for our studio's future products.
This Episode contains roughly 20 minutes of game time.
Story
The story follows a small group of heroes in a world ravished by the wars of its past.
Runestones possessing magical qualities are what fuel the industry, their secrets long ago lost.
Humans research them to unlock their hidden potential.
Overpopulation in cities built for far fewer inhabitants. Homes built atop homes with giant walkways connecting the various levels together.
The world of Ceir'a faces a new threat. It is here that Leif, a young runic apprentice meets a Jacawi tribeswoman Eme. Together they must overcome the differences of their people and unite the factions to thwart the rising evil empire. Though not all is as it seems when the very fabric of nature begins to fall apart!
Characters
The story follows 4 main characters and various 'NPCs' who help the story along. Being a story of 2 parts, we will be introducing more plot essential characters in the second episode.
