A gothic, top-down 2D action RPG built for the browser, inspired by Diablo and Path of Exile. Explore a growing wilderness, find gear, and build a character across a vast classless skill tree.
Playable prototype · actively iterating · not released.
Play on desktop with keyboard and mouse, or run it locally.
Progress is saved in your browser. Hosted and localhost characters have separate saves; cloud saves are not available yet.
- Characters & saves: eight local save slots, a forest character hall, equipped previews, level/power summaries and automatic checkpoints. Every character starts with leather armor, a choice of sword, bow or fire staff, and an empty bag.
- World: seven blended biomes, procedural towns with walk-in interiors, camp strongboxes, caravan choices, beacons, guardian trials and roadside loot, day/night lighting, wind and ambient wildlife. Scrolling minimap and an explored-world atlas.
- Combat: melee, bows and elemental staves; shields and dual wield; dodging, particles, damage feedback, and six enemy archetypes across three ranks. Encounters spawn outside the camera.
- Builds: 2,185 nodes, 150 passive constellations and 20 active skills. Short early routes, useful resource/speed choices, and cross-discipline bridges at every layer. Upgradeable skill ranks, deeper specializations and three Arcana ultimates. First-tier skills stay cooldown-free.
- Gear & progression: procedural names, icons and visible equipment; an 8×8 inventory, drag/drop, quick equip and comparison tooltips; item tiers, enemy loot tables, geographic danger scaling, and one skill point plus five attribute points per level.
- Presentation: code-generated artwork, dynamic lighting, restrained CRT/phosphor, a shared retro-modern UI kit, and compact loot, gold, XP and discovery notifications.
Town portal: free three-second cast to your home town, with a saved return portal back to your expedition. Set home at a town plaza anchor.
Town services: procedural blacksmiths, jewelers and enchanters; buy/sell/buyback, upgrade gear to +10, raise rarity, reroll affixes and raise item level. Equipped gear can be improved in place.
Character progress, shop state and each character’s explored map persist in this browser. Save format v3 requires a new character for older saves; old slots remain stored. Quests, respecs and cloud saves are still to come. Endless progression is the direction, not a finished endgame.
Real game interfaces and renderers, captured from frozen development scenes on September 5, 2026. Characters, equipment and resources are staged.
Animated life and mana glass, a compact shortcut rail, five assignable skill slots, and an integrated XP bar. UI and text stay crisp above the world’s CRT effects.
Distinct rarity borders and crests, procedural equipment icons, readable affixes, and effective stat comparisons before equipping. The bag holds 64 items and supports drag/drop and quick equip.
Trade with blacksmiths, jewelers and enchanters. Improve gear to +10, raise rarity, reroll affixes or bring a favorite item up to the area's level—including equipped gear.
