Historical Overview

An atmospheric action RPG featuring intense, tactical soul-like combat. In a dark fantasy world where steampunk titans have successfully extinguished the sun to harness its heat, humanity clings to survival around dying forge fires. As a lone blacksmith-knight, you must venture into the frozen wastes, infiltrate the massive mobile cities of the iron barons, and gather embers to rekindle the heart of the world.

Gameplay Pillars

Core Innovations

Tactical Steam Combat

Manage your suit's steam pressure. Releasing steam powers up special attacks but exposes you to the freezing cold of the environment.

Forge-Based Progression

Modify and upgrade your weapons and mechanical limb at any fire source using parts salvaged from defeated steampunk automatons.

Frozen Exploration

Navigate frozen, snow-swept landscapes where maintaining body temperature is as critical as dodging enemy strikes.
