The Trollpest, they called it. A magical plague which blanketed the land, infected the newborns and turned animals to beasts. Unsalvageable and dangerous, the once august civilization of Bruyland is destined for nothing but a slow march to oblivion...

If not for a fateful encounter set to change the course of history.



A drifting swordsman who vowed to never return to his homeland. One day a letter reaches him with a surprising revelation: a surviving relative, who he never knew existed, had been declared dead... And left Johannes an outlandish inheritance.



Born and raised in Färskog, Marie never thought she would ever leave but when working at the Inn of the Hawk, she didn't want to. With the disappearance of its owner, for the first time in her life, Marie felt restless... Unmoored.



When Julius left a prestigious academic career and moved back to Färskog, taking on the many vacant bureaucratic roles of the town, everyone was mystified. Those who knew him from before say that his usual composure now has a hint of sourness...



They're bored. Above all things, more than not being human, more than their absurd role in the grand scheme of things, more than their penchant for talking to statues, you should keep in mind that they hatehateHATE their current task and are so INCREDIBLY BORED!



The Land of the Bridges, Bruyland, awaits! Get to know its inhabitants, discover its secrets and bring about historical events!

Grab your friends, wield your weapons and venture into the Rauikland. The Trollpest has left behind much danger but also untold riches... And horrors.


COMING SOON...

When not adventuring or fighting, it's time to run the Inn of the Hawk! Expand its facilities, interact with your guests and form many bonds!

@MeinosKaen: Thank you very much! We all came together to the Hawks wanting to try something new! I wanted to try perfecting the RPG exploration mechanic, and Xiruo had the idea of a two-people battle system!

First off, congratulations, you guys are Soo insane for making this. I have always loved and wanted more RPGs.

This game is *chefs kiss*, especially your UI, looking forward to see more in this universe!

@MeinosKaen: Thank you very much! The team did an amazing job ^^
