Grimfog: Dead Hand Path

Grimfog: A Black Metal Themed Base Building Action RPG
Cast out from your village, rightfully accused of witchcraft, you flee into the darkness. Survive the wilderness. Build your strength – your exile.
But is your heart black enough to live forever?
Can you uncover the secrets of necromancy and raise the dead?
Can you shed even your own weakness, your mortality?

Then craft your phylactery and perform the unholy ritual to return as an undying lich – and burn it all down.

Revenge will be yours!

Fight
Timing and positioning is crucial, if you want to survive the action combat.
You have few friends and many enemies. Wildlife and villagers, guards and soldiers, clerics and paladins. Everyone is out to get you and will attack on sight or even raid your quarters.
Smash them up!
Other beings out there seek power in their own ways and most will see you as an immediate threat. Others might offer their help or ask for yours.
But can you trust them? And can they trust you?
Survive
Rob your enemies of their belongings and loot their dwellings. Gather natural resources and craft tools and weapons. Build up your exile to provide shelter, a place to work and study, and a barricade against raiders.
You will need it.
Discover Unholy Magic
Seek out ancient forbidden texts and study them. Learn healing magic and dark spells of destruction and domination.
The dark arts of necromancy are too great of a temptation. Raise your slain enemies to fight by your side or raid cemeteries.
Summon demons to make use of their terrible powers.
But will you bend them to your will or will they prevail?
Cheat Death Itself!
Rumors are whispered of rites too horrifying for even the blackest of hearts - the unspeakable acts of violence and blasphemy it takes to sacrifice one's humanity and leave mortality behind.
Some say a necromancer with immense power can project their soul into an object: a phylactery, which will let them rise again should their body be destroyed.
They will become undead themselves, or rather - undying. A lich.
But if the phylactery itself is destroyed, all is lost!    
A semi-open, handcrafted environment
We believe an environment with intentional design is superior for storytelling and immersion.
It also helps in the planning of environmental puzzles, and gives a sense of direction.
At the same time, procedural generation does help with replayability. We plan on including dungeon crawling endgame modes. 
Original Dark Metal Soundtrack
Burn down villages, fortresses - and of course, churches to the sound of raw black metal.
Expect other factions to have their own musical tastes.
Shut them up!
Offline Mode
Enjoy the entire single-player experience without any internet connection. Perfect for uninterrupted, immersive gameplay anywhere.
Indeed multiplayer is not currently planned at all - we might change our minds!
Controller and Keyboard/Mouse Support
Rock WASD and mouse, or configure your favorite keys. Or maybe you just want to plug in your controller and lean back as you slay?
