Featured Game
s
The Lich Wars is a story-rich gothic RPG. Live as a musketeer in the 1700s, fighting through two wars of the undead in a 30-year career.

The Necromancer's Tale is a narrative-driven top-down RPG where you play the role of a minor noble in the 18th Century, drawn into the Dark Necromantic Arts as you seek knowledge and revenge. Great power awaits... along with the weird, the morbid, and a gradual descent into madness.
