Do you miss isometric CRPGs filled with dimly-lit halls, complex turn-based combat – and hidden magical items and loot in every room? Do you long for lazy summer afternoons trekking through Ultima, Eye of the Beholder, Neverwinter Nights, and Baldur’s Gate?
Inspired by classic CRPGs from the ‘90s and a few from the early 2000s, Passageway of the Ancients will transport you to the world of Aieryon – the galaxy’s sole remaining magical planet – where you’ll explore the city of Ithgar to solve an unspeakable crime. Beset with grief, you’ll be tasked with surviving deadly creatures lurking behind every door while gathering clues, managing your party, and leveling up your characters. You also must pick locks and solve Runic puzzles to gather the best loot.
Combat is tough, complex, and always surprising. Passageway of the Ancients employs both turn-based and real-time combat – taking inspiration from historical weapons and tactics. Furthermore, you’ll have dual personas to deal with – a hidden “Dragonkindt,” and a public-facing race of your choosing (Dwarf, Elf, Human) – which must be leveled up at the same time. Knowing which one to use (and when) is half the fun.
