A bleak dark fantasy setting forms the backbone of the experience, with worldbuilding revealed through exploration rather than exposition. The lore feels grounded and deliberate, giving weight to every decision. Character progression stays flexible thanks to a large skill and spell pool, supported by a wide range of distinctive gear that encourages experimentation instead of fixed builds. The focus stays on choice and consequence, not flashy systems.
Turn-based combat is deliberate and unforgiving, built around positioning, timing, and long-term planning. Enemies hit hard, mistakes linger, and victories feel earned. Difficulty presets and granular customization allow players to fine-tune the challenge, while optional roguelike mechanics raise the stakes for those who want tension and replay value. The structure supports both short sessions and extended runs without padding or repetition, keeping the pace tight and purposeful.
