A Narrative Turn-Based Strategy Game

The Setting

A Land Under Shadow

A Dark Fantasy World Inspired by Balkan Folklore

An endless empire occupies the land, but the true terror comes from within. Renegade warlords known as the Dahijas rule through fear and greed, operating beyond anyone's control. When the local leaders attempt to organize, they are betrayed, and the rebellion is decapitated before it can even strike.

From the ashes of this slaughter, you must unite scattered factions. Navigate moral dilemmas, face the supernatural horrors of dark folklore, and forge a new path for your people.

Dispatch System

The Cost of Action

Command the Rebellion

You don't rely on random card draws. You command a visible roster of unique heroes, irregular troops, and finite resources. Every mission takes time, and every choice leaves something vulnerable.

If you send your best commander to lay siege to an enemy fortress, they cannot protect a burning village across the map. You cannot save everyone. Every victory demands a sacrifice.

Doom Clock

The Empire's Wrath

Time is Your Greatest Enemy

You are managing a secret revolution. Aggressive actions, raids, and amassing large armies will draw the attention of the imperial capital. As their suspicion grows, so does the threat to your survival.

Pay tributes to buy precious time, or face devastating punitive raids before your forces are ready. If the empire's wrath peaks, your uprising will be crushed forever.

Agency and Mechanics

Skill Over Chance

Control Your Own Risks

Forget frustrating hidden dice rolls. The odds are always visible, and your fate is in your hands. Are your forces too weak to guarantee a victory in a critical battle?

You can choose to push your luck, or you can force a victory by sacrificing your limited resources. Burn your gold, deplete your supplies, or spend the lives of your troops to overcome impossible odds.

Sacrifice

The Burden of Command

Weigh Sunk Costs Against Annihilation

The map is dynamic and unforgiving. When a new, existential crisis erupts, you have the option to sound the retreat and recall a deployed hero from their current mission.

But abandoning a mission carries a heavy price. The objective is lost, the troops committed to it are destroyed, and your heroes return broken. You must constantly weigh the cost of holding the line versus retreating to fight another day.

The Guslar

The Guslar's Epic

Every Failure is a New Beginning

The revolution is brutal, and you will likely fail. But death is not the end. It is merely material for the blind storyteller's epic poems.

Your actions, the gold you hoarded, and the battles you survived become your legacy. Use this legacy to expand the storyteller's songbook, unlocking new heroes, strange events, and dark folklore elements for your next uprising. The path to freedom is never the same twice.

The Core Experience

The Core Loop

Turn-based management. Survey the dynamic 2D map, dispatch your heroes, commit your resources, and resolve timers. Concurrent operations are possible, but availability is finite.

Map & Locations

Balance long-term growth at permanent hubs (Monasteries for healing, Cities for trade) against urgent Crisis Encounters that vanish and trigger brutal penalties if ignored.

Stats & Economy

Heroes rely on Might, Charisma, Wisdom, and Dexterity. Bridge stat gaps deterministically by spending gold at the Bazaar or treating irregular troops as expendable stat-batteries.

Faction Support

Maintain complex internal politics. You must carefully balance Popular Support, Church Support, and Foreign Support to trigger pivotal story milestones and the Act I finale.

Roguelite Meta

Earn Legacy Points by surviving turns and clearing encounters. Spend them via the Guslar (storyteller) to expand the randomized encounter pool and buy starting perks for future runs.

Platform & Model

A premium PC title distributed globally via Steam. Designed for meaningful shorter sessions with massive replay value, fully scalable without physical manufacturing costs.

Developed by Grom2

A core team with years of proven collaboration, bringing together operational expertise and a shared passion for crafting premium PC games.

History Shaped by Players

The survival of the resistance rests in your hands. Unite the factions, survive the empire, and write your own version of history in a brutal dark fantasy world.
