About

The makers behind “Astral Ascent” and “Dark Devotion” introduce: an innovative top-down role-playing game, vividly depicted using meticulous hand-drawn pixel art, brimming with thrilling, high-intensity battles.

Immerse Yourself in a Broken World

As I gaze up at the heavens, crystals rain down from the sky, shattering the tranquility of Tellus, the land I call home. These enigmatic gems pierce through the earth, awakening bizarre creatures and chaos in their wake. A once vibrant world where magic reigned supreme now teeters on the edge of annihilation as cities crumble beneath the weight of this strange turmoil.

In a desperate bid for survival, humans have joined forces with mystical beings, forging powerful warriors to stand against the impending doom. I embark on an adventure through this tumultuous realm, seeking answers, uncovering hidden truths, and battling to preserve what’s left of our world.

Beautiful Landscapes Ready to Be Explored

Explore Tellus’ breathtaking landscapes, yet be aware that they are marred by destruction, hardships, and enigmatic shadows. Traverse expansive territories according to your preference – from vast plains to fortified strongholds, barren deserts to abandoned ruins. Sprint like a wolf, maneuver skillfully to access tricky spots, scale heights to get a bird’s eye view of the world. There’s much to uncover here.

Be a Master Your Own Fate…

Guide two unique individuals: Arven, a human Marksman who spends his life pursuing Shadows as his livelihood, yearning for greater power; and Kat, an Etheri, a spirit newly introduced to the physical realm, unfamiliar with its ways. These two entities have become one, bound together not only by necessity but also possibly by destiny.

…Because Destiny is Not Set in Stone

As a seasoned gamer, I’ll tailor and amplify my heroes’ physical and magical prowess to suit my gaming style, immersing myself in an agile, instinctive gameplay brimming with intricate mechanics. I’ll forge potent upgrades and mold my unique strategy to conquer the obstacles that obstruct me from unraveling the secrets waiting to be revealed.

Two Minds, One Body

Discovering harmony in coexistence is one aspect of the test, but it holds the secret to unlocking untapped strength. Delve into your inner sanctum to foster unity between spirit and physique. Tap into the mystical powers to unearth hidden recollections and blossom into your optimal self.

Multiple Fates, Fallen Onto the Same Path

Embark on an adventure where you’ll encounter memorable personalities, ranging from loyal companions to formidable adversaries. Every character has their unique tone, motive, and tale waiting to be discovered – all narrated through meticulously crafted pixel art cutscenes intended to make a lasting impression.

Fallen Fates is a tale of intertwined destinies, conflicting goals, and difficult choices.
