The Last Contract

You didn't walk out of the arena. You barely made it out alive.
The Last Contract is a hand-crafted action RPG set in a stylized, richly detailed world built to make you want to stop and look around. It won't rush you into danger, but when it comes, it means it. Combat is weighty and stamina-driven: mix steel, bow, and magic however you like, there is no need to commit to just one. Create your character as human or orc: the world treats each differently, sometimes with wariness, sometimes with open contempt.
From a central hub, you'll journey into self-contained realms, each with its own dangers, its own factions, and in most cases a boss fight built entirely around that location's own rules. Some you fight head-on. Others you can find a way past entirely, if you're sharp enough to spot it. What you choose sticks: quests remember what you did, who you sided with, and who you let live.
There's no menu full of points to spend. You get stronger by doing: swing a blade often enough and your Strength grows, keep loosing arrows and you'll get steadier aim. Get hit enough times and you'll toughen up too, whether you meant to or not. What you actually play becomes what you're good at, tracked live on-screen as it happens.
Key Features:
A stylized, PBR-detailed world built to be explored, not just survived.

Weighty, stamina-based combat across melee, ranged, and magic, mix and match to your play-style.

No point-buy leveling: your stats and mastery skills grow from what you actually do in a fight, not from spent points.

Enemies grow with the game too, ranged and magic threats included, not just melee.

Seven mastery skills to specialize into: One-Handed (swords & axes), Daggers, Blunt (hammers & maces), Greatswords, Block, Archery, and Magic, plus a hidden Necromancy skill for those willing to go looking.

Play as human or orc, with meaningfully different reactions from the world around you.

A hub-and-spoke structure connecting distinct, hand-crafted levels. This is not an open world.

Boss fights with unique mechanics, some solvable through combat, some through cunning.

Choices that hold: quests branch and NPCs react based on what you've actually done.
