About the Game



Tenebris: Terra Incognita is a challenging turn-based RPG set in a gloomy science fiction setting. Take command of the best fighters of humanity and save the expedition of the Solaris ship, which crashed on an uncharted planet infested with terrible monsters!


CHARACTERS


We are big fans of series like Darkest Dungeon, X-COM and Disciples, and we want to give players a similar experience through deep hero customization and career progression. Having 5 basic classes with easily recognizable roles at the beginning of the playthrough, the player will be able to choose character development branches from 17 advanced classes as they gain experience. Each specialization has separate talent trees, allowing the player to create unique characters within the same class.

The game has a full inventory system. Found or purchased items - weapons, armor, special equipment - can not only improve the basic characteristics of the characters, but also influence their talents or give new abilities.

  • Experiment with the talent branches of the characters.
  • Combine your abilities with equipment items.
  • Create your own unique build, and conquer the world of Tenebris!


MONSTERS

The damaged hull of the ship turned out to be the least of the expedition's problems: the people, not having time to recover from the heavy landing, were immediately attacked by huge bugs. The size, speed and aggressiveness of the enemy would not be such a problem if not for the amazing organization of the swarm. These bugs, through chemical signals, are able not only to coordinate, but also to strengthen and accelerate each other. The more there are, the more dangerous each individual enemy is.

If you manage to defend the ship and gain a foothold in the insect-infested Misty Wasteland, your troops will be able to open other areas where the bug scouts do not dare to go. And if you learn from the swarm, you will understand: there, beyond the borders of the wasteland, you will need new abilities, different combat tactics and, most likely - bigger guns.

STARSHIP "SOLARIS"

The Solaris ship is your base and the only relatively safe place on the planet. Here you can purchase weapons and armor, awaken new recruits from cryo-sleep and send wounded heroes for treatment. The resources found in missions will allow you to improve the ship's bays and expand the capabilities of your squad.

In addition to the expedition commander and the head of the security service, together with whom you will solve the main task of escaping the planet, you will be assisted by the chief doctor, leading engineer and warehouse manager. Each crew member will have unique tasks for you, and solving them will allow you to obtain additional resources and technologies that can increase the chances of survival of the expedition.

Be careful - the ship's supplies are scarce, and you will have to fight for the planet's resources. You have to carefully choose what to spend the little you can get in battles.

Will you be able to conquer the dark planet and save the expedition?

The crew has left all the decisions to you - proceed at your own risk!
