This multi-season, episodic adventure follows the journeys of dual protagonists Althea and Farkas as old Norse magic returns to their world, and they realize they're more than human.

Faced with unexpected abilities and assassins hunting them for just that reason, they must flee their homes on the city-ship of New Reykjavík and look elsewhere for safety and answers. In the process, they will face gods, monsters, and humans on all sides of the law who could become friends, enemies, or even lovers.

With hundreds of variables tracking your choices and countless combinations of consequences, you decide what becomes of the characters, their relationships, and their apocalypse. How will you end the world?

Early Access will grant you:

• Immediate access to the first 5 chapters (about 10 hours per playthrough including the demo Chapter 0)
  
• Automatic access to the remaining chapters of Season 1 as we add them, at no additional charge
  

Season 1 is planned to include 20 chapters, and new sets of 5-6 chapters are planned every 6-12 months.

We've requested an official Steam Deck Compatibility Review by Valve, but in the meantime, we tested the game on Deck ourselves.

It includes:

• Full controller support
  
• No platform-specific glyphs to display
  
• No text input requiring a keyboard
  
• Runs at a playable framerate on Deck by default
  
• The smallest font size is 14
  
• No crashes or freezing observed by the devs during play on Deck
  

However, if you experience any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out! We're happy to receive feedback via:

Our character sprites have now all been updated to match the style of our animated cutscene illustrations. And they blink now too!

Meanwhile, all assets are in place for the first post-demo chapters we plan to release, Chapters 1-5. We're currently gathering feedback for these new chapters before proceeding into voice recording, and then they'll be ready to release! Keep an eye out in the coming months.

We've been working on a ton of improvements over the past few months, including:

• Fully voiced dialog
  
• Animated "cutscenes" replacing the previous CGs
  
• A gallery to store all the new art as you unlock it
  
• A codex full of unlockable bonus tidbits about the characters and world
  
• Original music and SFX
  
• Redesigned GUI
  

To be continued as we move forward into the rest of season 1!

The final installment of the extended demo is now live! You can start flirting with those reincarnated deities we promised, and start uncovering who they all truly are. This update includes:

• New scenes for both protagonists.
  
• Chances to build your relationships with the NPCs, but you have to choose!
  
• New choices that will carry over into future chapters.
  
• Edits and improvements throughout, in response to feedback.
  

The chapters beyond these intro scenes are in the works, and as always, patrons can get access to them in beta and provide feedback before release!
