About the Game

PRESENTATION

The Wayfarer's Oath is a 2D fantasy old-school RPG in the vein of Vagrant Hearts and the old classics.

When a wandering bounty hunter saves a mysterious young woman from certain death, she unwittingly binds herself to a forgotten prophecy — one that names the young woman as the only hope to stop Vorath, the Dark Knight who has plunged the world into ruin. With the Kingdom of Ellarus burning and no rulers left to stand, the hunter must choose: walk away… or protect the flame that could reignite the light.

Their journey begins — not for gold, but for redemption.

FEATURES

  • Follow a gripping narrative where the fate of kingdoms hangs in the balance — and one oath binds it all

  • Discover remote villages, lost ruins and crumbling strongholds in a war-torn kingdom

  • Each battle demands tactical awareness and careful ability use — brute force won't always win

  • A visual love letter to the 16-bit JRPG era: expressive pixel art and lush environments
