About the Game

PRESENTATION

The Oaken Path is a 2D fantasy old-school RPG in the vein of Vagrant Hearts and the old classics.

A kingdom splintered by ambition. Two brothers stand at the heart of the storm—Thorn, the rightful heir and stalwart protector of the realm, and Thalorak, a ruthless sorcerer who seeks to claim the throne by force.

As war ignites across the land, villages burn, and the cries of the people grow louder beneath the shadow of the usurper’s dark magic. In this chaos, unlikely heroes emerge—wanderers, warriors, and outcasts—drawn together by fate and bound to a path none of them chose.

They will fight beside Thorn in a last stand for honor and freedom. But when the winds of war shift, it falls upon them to carry the flame of resistance.

Their journey will carve the future of the kingdom.
