About the Game

We have lost contact with the Arch-Phrenic.
The vicious forest, Chedone, stirs.
We have no Guildmaster, and my father is dead.
The Cheds are coming.
Diichohhs , send your strongest Crusaders……
We must discover the secret of Chedone…..

-Letter from Gaz’ra-Lina,
Thilo-t’ess of Kilhellos, to the
Crusader Diichohhs




**About this Game **

*Ahh Barquay, you have come. Sit by the fire, stay a moment, and listen to your father.
You have lived a life of peace and comfort,
As much as one can in the shadow of Chedone.
But the time has come, my son.
I can no longer protect you.
I have not raised a hilo’ness in this house!
Diichohhs has sounded the horn.
He calls all able bodied men to Chedone,
To find the source of this mystery.
You will do what I could not Barquay…….*

**Turtle River is a punishing, loot-based, JRPG pixel art dungeon crawler.**

You are Husio Barquay, a literal wallflower who has never taken a risk or faced serious danger in his life.

Until the Crusader Prophet Diichohhs called upon all Turtillian men of fighting age to enter the vicious forest of Chedone.




**JRPG meets ARPG **

Slay hordes upon hordes of enemies in this fast - paced Active Time Battle JRPG.

Terrifying Elites, Suffocating Swarms, and Ball-Crushing Bosses await your blade.

Inspired by classic ARPG loot games, in a JRPG package.

**Punishing, rewarding combat. **

Chedone is no joke friend. You’ll need all your tactical wits and fast reflexes to defeat the Ched hordes.

Frequent status ailments, stuns, and traps will leave the taste of death fresh in your mouth.

Failure will give no rewards, except the gift of knowledge.



** 3 Classic Classes **

Play as the weapon wielding Barbarian, Gun-Bow blasting Ranger, or the Potion-Pelting Herbologist.



**Build your own Barquay **

Freedom to build your character, your way.
Master multiple skills and builds for each class, wield different weapons and armors.
Will you be a summoner-warrior? A Nuker Mage? A Debuff Archer? A Living tree?




**Shower yourself in Loot **

Wield build-changing Unique weapons, or craft yourself the perfect set of armor with the crafting system.

Wield multiple weapons simultaneously and swap between them instantly before each attack.




**A modern JRPG experience **

Full pixel movement.
No random encounters, no long drawn out story scenes.
Easy to sort inventory, modern UI, and fast paced, interaction based combat.



**No Procedural Generation**

Every event, piece of gear, and line of dialogue was hand crafted by a passionate developer.

Aside from loot drops, there is very little randomization.

**Forge your way through the Forest **

Multiple paths await you in Chedone.
Will you take the long, safe path? Or the Gauntlet?
