About the Game

The fate of the islanders rests in your hands, Messenger. 

Three warring factions meet on the Island of Noksell, a key part of Craidoras, after sixty years of bloodshed. Each claims to serve the people, all crave power. Decide who deserves to rule, or whether anyone does… 

As a faceless envoy, unearth each faction’s history through the words, secrets, and lies of a large cast of characters. Piece together the truth and shape the summit’s outcome. 

Explore Craidoras; a decade-crafted fantasy world steeped in rich Mediterranean culture. Navigate ancient temples and turquoise coasts. Experience visuals inspired by Mediterranean shadow theater, in which colorful leather figures cast intricate stories across illuminated screens. Discover a world that honors its inspirations with depth and authenticity.

Competing for domination is a treacherous business. Expose the factions’ schemes or align yourself with their artful deceit.  

Every alliance you broker shifts the balance. Every secret you choose to keep or reveal reshapes Craidoras for centuries to come. The war is over, the guns are withdrawn, but the peace is yet to come. The true conflict begins now.

What you learn and choose to reveal is your greatest weapon and weakness. Arm yourself with their secrets and give just enough to gain everything.  

No swords are unsheathed. No guns are drawn. Words are the only armament. Gather intelligence from letters, books, and whispered conversations. Outmaneuver the era's most powerful minds through knowledge alone.
