About the Game
You were a hero once, but could you be again?
A choice-driven fantasy adventure visual novel about the price of burnout. Build a hero who can overcome the weight of their legacy.
Story
Famed for battling a wrathful dragon and defending the common folk in their youth, our hero suffers an injury facing their long-time nemesis.
Forced recovery unexpectedly gives time to slow down, but also a voice to their thoughts of self doubt.
But weakness is a choice.
With the invention of The Drink: a caffeine-like substance that allows anyone to push past their physical and mental limits, the only barrier between our protagonist and overcoming the emergence of The Corruption may be their own
selfish desire…
to rest.

☠️Tactical Combat, Real Consequences: Quick, impactful decisions determine your survival. Use the skills, items, and relationships available to you to win battles.
