About this game

The Cradle of Life

This world was never meant to last.

Shimmers are tearing through reality.
The gods have begun to stir from their slumbers.
And something buried beneath everything is awakened.

Tactical Turn-Based Combat That Punishes Mistakes

  • Fight on a grid-based battlefield

  • Use Action Points to move, attack, and survive

  • Positioning and decision-making matter more than stats

  • Every encounter can spiral out of control

Survival Is More Than Health

  • Manage Hunger and Psych

  • Starve, break, or endure - The choice is yours

  • Your mental state changes how the game feels—and plays

A World Without Mercy

  • No quest markers holding your hand - But your Journal holds all the details

  • No clear “good” choices

  • Consequences are permanent and often unseen - Even seemingly good choices can have negative outcomes

The Gods Are Not What They Seem

  • Discover a fractured pantheon:

    • Airealen – life fading into silence

    • Yrris – judgment without mercy

    • Valen – dreams and oblivion

    • Thozur – rot and inevitability

    • Naerun – transformation through chaos

    • Zahl – knowledge best left hidden

Your path shapes what remains of the world - You will serve one...even if you don't know it.
