Knock, knock, travelers!

We’ve worked long and hard, day and night. And the day has finally arrived—our first DLC, "Nightmares of Millenis" is now available on Steam, along with a number of other improvements and updates!



Keep reading to see the full list of changes—we’ve prepared A LOT for you!

Let’s gooo!

Tarot Cards

A new challenge awaits the boldest ones! The ancient powers of the Tarot cards have awakened, waiting for their prophecies to be fulfilled.
Each card holds its own fate, unveiling a unique story, leading to new locations, and granting powerful rewards.

The Conclusion of the Story

Persival, Bjorn and Vanadis, the heroes of Midian, are striving to go home. But their journey is far from over一their fate will soon be decided and their actions will shape not only their own destinies but the future of the entire kingdom. Join them in the final chapter of their story and uncover the mysterious past of Mortis.

Progression of Events

Midian is home to many different peoples, including characters with confusing pasts, complex personalities, and some of them are downright out of their minds.
It’s time to unravel all the intrigues, uncover all the real motives, and finally decide who will claim the throne.

Even seasoned players will find plenty of surprises in store!

Rebalance

Down with the king of evasion! Prior to the future full-scale rework, we've adjusted the current balance by enhancing talismans, nerfing evasion, revamping some battles, and overall making the gameplay experience smoother and more enjoyable.
