addedGreetings from the windy roads of KardiyaThank you endlessly for your belief in and support for Livber. Thanks to you, we found the motivation to begin working on our next game. And here it is: Kardiya: The Winds of Fate . Kardiya is a new project that keeps our narrative-focused core while offering completely new mechanics, a different tone, and a fresh experience. We’re trying to blend RPG, relationship simulation, and roguelite mechanics into a single system. Because there are so many systems at play, we truly need your help to shape it into the best version possible.

Kardiya The Winds of Fate

Prototype Visuals

Actually, our Steam page for the game has been live for quite some time. Back then, we were planning to make a very different kind of game. Then Livber happened, and during that period we learned almost everything about the game development process.

Now, while keeping Kardiya’s story intact, we are completely redesigning all of its mechanics. Because of that, please don’t take the current visuals on the Steam page as final. Below, we’re sharing early prototype versions of the new visuals with you.
