About the Game



Welcome to the scarred kingdom.

The story of The Scorchfarer is set on a post-apocalyptic high fantasy world. A cosmic event known as the 'fire rain' destroyed most life on the surface of the planet. It was soon discovered that the flames were so magically dense that it would take a millenia for them to die on their own. Both of the continents, Uzu and Zuhaar, joined forces to bring back balance to their world. A new breed of magus was born, the Terramagus, tasked with healing the world and to give every living creature hope for the future.

Mikaela and Yukiharu, two novice Terramagi are about to set off into the heart of the continent after finishing their training. Their journey is about to become much more complicated than they could ever imagine as the secrets of their world slowly unravel.

The first episode of The Scorchfarer (The Wanderer and the Anchor) contains the following features:



  • 17 unique hand drawn characters
