Nothmere (AppID: 3652250)

You awaken on a cold, rocky beach in the middle of the night with absolutely no memory of who you are, where you came from, why you’re there or what you are doing. You plod your way through a sewer pipe that empties onto the beach, and find yourself in Nothmere, a very strange town. The people in town are understanding, as everyone there once found themselves in the very situation you’re now in. The town is protected by magical warded gems placed upon the walls that keep the void creatures, magical monsters that roam the countryside, at bay. The wards are tended to by Nothmere’s Mage guild, the Arcane Codex, and the people are protected by Nothmere’s Warriors guild, the Crimson Shield. You find that nobody has ever been able to escape town, as Nothmere is completely surrounded by steep, impenetrable mountains on all sides. You embark on an adventure to try to determine why you’re there, who is responsible, and how to get home. Wherever home is.
