About It Stares Back
Enter The Great Tapestry: Once a candy-colored realm of dreams and fantasy, now a corrupted death-scape of perilous ruin. Will you gaze into the void to learn the fate of this tattered land? Be wary, traveler…
IT STARES BACK
Play as the Noble Guide, a fabled commander with the power to conjure lost spirits that might join the ranks of your undead army. Explore the Four Kingdoms to discover new heroes, armor, soldiers, and structures much needed in your campaign to restore the Great Tapestry to its former brilliance.
Weave your fate into this dark-fantasy RTS that uniquely incorporates RPG mechanics into its’ illustriously hand painted, lore-rich story.
4X, hex based, real time strategy combat has never played like this before. Gaze over the battlefield as Hex, the mechanical owl. EXPLORE by sending the Noble Guide out to light spires scattered across the map, revealing a variety of troop resources to EXPLOIT. EXPAND your territory across each region carefully, as there are many holes in the Tapestry and void is unforgiving. EXTERMINATE the wretched beasts that lie waiting in the Clamoring Mist. For they stand between you and the completion of the Rites of Awakening.
Death is a welcome friend. Soldiers revive in collected dying pools, giving you wave after massive wave of undead to hurl at your opponents!

I like what's here but, it looks like the game is maybe an eighth of what they intend it be at most and it's been over a year since they have announced the next part of the game with no update to be seen. If they ever finish this game I would recommend it but, in it's current state I would recommend looking elsewhere. You will just be disappointed at where the game currently ends.9 found this helpful
The game is good, but caused a major GPU crash that automatically rebooted my whole system.4 found this helpful
This is one wild trip of an RTS game. Fairly simple and straight forward in gameplay, enhanced with a uniquely confusing story and artdesign.2 found this helpful
Unfortunately the last update was in 21, so as of right now its safe to assume this game isn't being actively worked on. The aesthetics of this thing are banging, so i do recommend you look up the soundtrack video, but the game itself just kinda stops some ways in.1 found this helpful
Illuminati propaganda never played so good.
Gorgeous and eerie! The RTS elements are incredible and simple. Absolutely loved playing this!
