Developed by: Astronomic GamesPublished and distributed by: New Reality Games
General Features:
- A large, decadent, dark fantasy world with a new take on concepts of angels and demons
- Two different protagonist teams, each one with its own point of view on the same story. Their paths repeatedly converge and diverge as they attempt to accomplish their own goals, occasionally antagonizing one another.
- 10+ hours of gameplay in total - roughly 5-7 hours for each team's story arc.
- Unconventional way of unlocking new skills: each character possesses all of their special abilities from the start. However, many are locked by high energy cost. Increase max Energy by any means necessary to get access to those skills.
- Strategically manage your energy in battles: use lots of low cost skills in a row, or use a high cost skill and wait for the overall energy to recharge.
- Two difficulty modes: Normal and Challenging. Normal is streamlined so to allow most people to complete the game and witness the story. Challenging is for those seeking blood, sweat, sorrow, and death.
- A variety of boss fights which require strategy to be beaten, especially in Challenging mode.
The game has been released!

Known Bugs:
Hey guys. I've had a player mention a problem with saving the game (probably a Win8 issue) when it's installed in Program Files folder. The game has a script included that puts save files in the AppData/Roaming folder on the computer, but seems it can still give issues on some computers. If you're experiencing this problem, try moving the game folder from Program Files to another location, like My Documents or My Games. It should sort things out. Cheers

Story:
The last king was killed over 400 years ago and the global rule of the land ceased to exist. Slowly over the years the law and order started to subside, people began to divide amongst themselves, big cities were gradually gone and replaced with smaller settlements, and the whole land started to slowly degrade. Many believe it’s because the angel kind have abandoned it.
Now the bandits roam the roads and wild animals roam the fields. The only safety can be found in smaller villages, where groups of people have banded to work together in order to survive. The relations between the different sentient races are very marginal and fragile. Some have been at long conflicts with one another, at times erupting into full blown wars. A holy Order of Atonement has been trying to keep the people together, but even their influence is limited to a handful of villages. And to top it all off, many believe a “vindicator” will walk the land one day as a punisher of all the sins and bring forth a swift end upon it.
That day has come.
Characters:
The story is split into two different teams of protagonists, each one following its own path.
The first team

Name: Nail
Age: 25
Race: Human
Weapons: Two short swords
Bio: A nomad by nature, Nail refuses to settle down in any of the villages and believes that he can accomplish a lot more if he simply fended for himself. Often aimless in his pursuits, Nail prefers to live each day separately and doesn’t think there’s much future beyond the rewards of the present day.

Name: Anrid
Age: 22
Race: Human
Weapon: Long sword and a shield
Bio: A highly reliable paladin with firm moral values who often supports and carries out tasks for the Order of Atonement. Apart from being a fighter, Anrid also knows how to use healing and supportive magic in battles.

Name: Kanden
Age: 28
Race: Human
Weapon: Big hammer
Bio: Nail’s older brother. Unlike Nail, Kanden prefers a simpler life in a village with his girlfriend, doing regular guard duty and helping to keep the village in peace. He’s a skilled fighter and is highly respected by other guards.

Name: Meya
Age: 25
Race: Athekan
Weapon: Long staff
Bio: A rather introverted and nerdy scholar. Meya likes to learn things, especially those that are related to magic. Often very soft-spoken and doesn’t like conflict.
The second team

Name: Elleria
Age: 24
Race: Human
Weapon: Occult Blade (can be enchanted)
Bio: A cynical sorceress with a dark humour who is always after more power and magic. Largely disliked and shunned away by most Humans, Elleria has to use cunning and trickery to get things her way.

Name: Gashrun
Age: Unknown
Race: Karmit
Weapon: Curved blade and a gauntlet
Bio: A Karmit bodyguard summoned by Elleria. Just as others of his species, Gashrun is a proficient fighter and is absolutely obedient, but there’s always a degree of mystery to him and his intentions.

Name: Kizu
Age: 19
Race: Teglan
Weapon: Short staff
Bio: A skilled and somewhat talkative mage. Kizu seems to always have something to say about anything and often enjoys sharing his knowledge of magic and the creatures of the land.

Name: Habach
Age: Unknown
Race: Unknown
Weapon: FISTS!
Bio: Nobody knows who or what Habach is. He is a wild, untamed monster of some never heard of species, but at the same time he displays obvious signs of sentience and can even speak.
