Note: This is made in a new engine compared to Umbra Fields with many systems from it redone and expanded with more depth, but with a focus on one main area and dungeons connected to it.
Embark on a dark, brutal quest in this first-person, party-based dungeon crawler. Choose from 42 classes to form your 6-member team and conquer the Dark Tower. Every decision matters in this medieval world where insanity and death are commonplace. Will you survive?
Before everything was normal. Then the sun began blackened, the skies full of blood, and the light became the most traded resource. The beasts entered the world, kingdoms fell and new villages prospered. Humanity banded together to the Gate of the Abyss, sending parties to explore and to kill whatever Dark God created the Abyss.
Those who enter will gain broken bones, infections, and will bleed to death, unless they are prepared.
The Town is a nameless place where those who go into the Abyss rest in. It has everything a traveler would need. Stores, a church, a prison, a town hall, and more. Get quests to do things in the town, or the help out the people, they give many gifts and new teachings to survive. Go to stores to buy and sell, or to loot and slaughter whoever runs them. Ignore the cries from the prison, or help them with revenge. The stores run on a stock market simulation in the background, impacting if they stay around or not.
You are going to need lots of food, steel, and courage to survive. Make sure to always be strong, always be sane, and to eat before your food rots.
Outside of the town, the beasts may make your party go insane. Maintaining the sanity level for each party member is key to survival. Set up Campfires for everybody to speak their mind, search for goods, and more depending on how they are. If not, then when they go insane they will leave the party as they shout the unknown.
How much you can purchase or get loans depends on your Credit Score with the people, and how much debt you get yourself into. Buy things and you will look better for loans. Loans gives money but debt that quickly compounds. If you get into too much debt, a debt collector will come to collect a soul.
Your 6 crew members are fragile with their mounds of flesh. They begin with something unique to each one.
Kestrel - They are the Leader. The speeches they give can give great passion to the party during battle, or great despair. Graham - A strong sense of morals, they may be a strong member. Ceolumnd - They want to seek out the group more than themselves, allowing and begging the beasts to attack them instead of the others. Chad - A famous person outside of the Abyss. This has lead them to develop a strong sense of pride. Deorwine - A sickly person. They have a deadly infection that is slowly eating their insides out. They have a medication that makes them very sick, but gives them more time to survive. Anything without side effects is expensive, but maybe the town offers many different ways to remove the infection. Oswald - Someone who has had a dark past, and had to learn to syphon energy from others at a young age. This is very effective in battle.
Yet, one of them maybe be a traitor. This is something randomized at the start of the game
