About this game Read the full description

In this Lovecraftian rogue-lite, you’ll use your research notes and tools to learn the language of the great beyond. Learn to understand the ancient horror that roams the earth– or kill its offspring, and face the consequences. What matters is that you act fast: if their influence is left unchecked, the world will succumb to chaos and corruption. Your decisions will determine the fate of humanity.

Talk to an Ancient Being

Mere days ago, an otherworldly behemoth pierced the veil of our reality. Looming over your homeland, it corrupts the minds of both the people of your village and the wildlife in the surrounding forests. Only you seem spared from its influence… until feverish nightmares begin to plague you. The entity in a sea of white– It tries to communicate, but the strange symbols it reveals have no meaning to you. To understand why it’s here, you first need to learn its language

Survive and Explore the Wilderness

Your first expedition is bound to fail, as is your second. But with some practice and research, you may just find yourself deeper and deeper within the chaos and corruption. What will you find at the root of it all?

Time-based Combat

Rely on your notes as your sanity wears thin. Being face to face with these horrors takes a toll on you as well.

Game Features:

  • Study the eldritch language: Use your steadily growing research notes to understand the horrors and learn how to communicate with them.

  • Uncover a mystery: Find out who - or what - unleashed these horrors upon our reality.

  • Choose your destiny: Will you save your village, or watch it succumb to madness? Join a cult, or weaponize the monsters? The fate of humanity lies in your hands.

  • Grow stronger: Upgrade your tools, expand your knowledge and steel your mind to travel deeper into the corrupted forest.
