EXPERIENCE A DENSE OPEN WORLD, FIRST PERSON RPG
(Gameplay trailer coming soon, stay tuned)
Awaken as The Fool, a being fused with a cursed, living jester’s hat—an artifact of ancient power and cosmic madness.
Thrust into a vast, surreal land, you find yourself in a world gripped by conflict. False gods manipulate tribes through wrath, illusions, and endless cycles of suffering. The sands shift beneath your feet, whispering of truths you’re not ready to face.
To survive, you must challenge the divine, navigate fractured realities, and unravel the eternal joke that binds existence itself. But beware—power always comes with pain, and every choice will shape not just your fate but the very fabric of the world.
Explore desolate ruins, dreamlike landscapes, and places of forgotten power. Confront powerful deities, each with their own twisted philosophies. Engage in both brutal combat and complex diplomacy, where truth and deception blur. The world remembers every step you take... and it is always watching.
Will you be the one who tells the joke? Or will you become another piece in an endless cycle of cosmic tragedy?
Key Features:
Visceral First Person experience: Swinging your weapons comes with a feeling of weight. No floaty combat, everything you do has impact.
Surreal Open World Adventure: Explore a vast diverse landscape filled with ancient ruins, mirages, and hidden secrets.
Tarot Card Skill System: A deck of fate-bound abilities that shape your combat and progression. Draw from cards that grant divine boons, eldritch curses, or impossible feats—each choice locking you deeper into a path of power or ruin. Discover hidden synergies, adapt your deck to the trials ahead, and embrace the ever-changing hand you are dealt.
Risk-Reward Gameplay: In this RPG, your memories are currency. The player will unlock skills and spells by memorizing them. Those “memories” can then be traded with merchants for rare and exotic goods. While the player is alive, they can still use the memory they traded. Should they fall in battle, upon respawn, the memory will be gone forever, forcing the player to decide what is more important: your healing sorcery skill or the rare key the merchant is selling?
Choice-Driven Story: Shape the fate of warring tribes through action, diplomacy, and manipulation.
Psychological Themes: Unravel philosophical mysteries that challenge your perception of power, truth, and self.
Dynamic Combat: Battle wrathful gods and twisted reflections of yourself, wielding weapons imbued with cosmic power.
Existential Horror: Confront the void and discover that sometimes, the greatest enemy is the story you believe in.
Nostalgic Art Direction and Vibes: We strive to create a game that is as much an audiovisual delight as it is a video game. With a fully original OST and art direction that will harken back to the glory days of RPG gaming, you will feel both right at home and deeply unsettled.
The joke has already begun... Can you escape its punchline?
