You are the envoy of Aedyr, a distant land, sent to investigate rumors of a spreading plague throughout the Living Lands - an island full of mysteries and secrets, danger and adventure, and choices and consequences, and untamed wilderness. You discover a personal connection to the Living Lands and an ancient secret that threatens to destroy everything. Can you save this unknown frontier and your soul from the forces threatening to tear them asunder?


Age Rating

The game contains strong, realistic violence towards humanoid characters. Players use swords, guns, bows and magic to harm enemies. Sword combat is realistic, with blood effects appearing on successful slashes. Enemies will grunt and stagger when hit. When an enemy is killed, their corpse remains on the ground for players to loot and examine briefly, before disappearing. This game also contains the use of strong language including 'fuck'. Strong, gory imagery is found throughout the game. Players will often find mutilated and severed corpses as part of the setting.
