Our modern homage to classic first-person dungeon-crawlers takes you to the land of Operencia, an unconventional fantasy world inspired by a faraway land referenced in countless Central European folktales. An old-school turn-based battle system combines with inspiration from unexplored mythology to offer an RPG experience that feels unique yet also familiar.

Few tips to pack in your adventurer’s bag before you venture out:

- Not all secrets are unlockable when you first visit a level
- Different skills have penalties or bonuses depending on which of the 3 enemy planes you attack
- You can respec your characters anytime with no penalties, so feel free to experiment with builds!
- Make sure you always have enough firewood
- Have fun!

This ultimate version of Operencia comes with the extreme ‘Betyár Mode’ designed by our battle master Babar, aimed only at the most seasoned adventurers. If you like to go for a 100% in games, pick up the Explorer's Pack as well - which will give you the soundtrack, wallpapers and a collection of digital maps with all secrets and collectibles!

Dear Adventurers!

This entry to our Dev Diary series takes you to the roots of the game design and level building of Operencia: The Stolen Sun. Expect a lot of never-before-seen early development footage in this one!

At 0:22 - 0:55 Lead Designer Ferenc Nagy-Szakáll shares his first sketches of the grid-based levels. And at 6:15, he expresses his fear of artists building 3D topography of the 2D maps he designed. (It worked out in the end!)



Starting at the 2:06 mark, 3D Artists Tamas Csige and Csaba Vekony give you the scoop on how they created living, breathing levels out of concept art, plus taking a tile-based movement system out of the dungeon and expanding it to the great outdoors, under an open sky.



We are just a few weeks away from Operencia releasing on Steam. On March 31, step into our world of magic, fantasy rat soldiers, frog kings, warriors, thieves, castle builders, copper automatons, and mask-wearing burly men in fur.
