Ways of Time

Time has its own ways …
You wake up in your small room – an ordinary morning, or so it seems. But beyond the village, something stirs: guards fail to return, an ancient Titan awakens in old ruins, and from the distant Shadow Castle, shadows reach out for the land.
Ways of Time is a handcrafted pixel RPG with real-time combat, a mysterious story and a living world full of things to discover – alone or together with friends.
