THE STORY\

UNRAVEL THE TWISTED HISTORY OF A VAST KINGDOM
Across the land, there were mysterious, ancient drawings that hinted at the existence of some greater being. A being that could control time, the earth, the underworld, and anything else the human mind could perceive. There were stories of it creating tornadoes, raising demons from the earth, and stopping time altogether. This being was feared across the land, and worshipped by those who were too afraid to oppose it. They called it ‘Rek-Tu-Hiem’, ‘Requiem’ in modern terms.

PREPARE FOR REQUIEM'S RETURN
The kingdom of Redreach lived in a state of constant fear, subject to an endless cycle of suffering by this all-powerful being until, one day, it seemingly vanished without a trace. For years, Redreach's strongest minds attempted to gain some insight into where this being's immense power came from, and how it somehow disappeared from existence altogether. These studies led to the discovery of the Stormrites, a series of powerful scrolls that, in the wrong hands, could lead to the end times. You will learn about the Stormrites while navigating the mysterious kingdom of Redreach, meeting friends and foes along the way and creating your own story while, in turn, discovering your role in this world.

HARNESS THE POWER OF THE FOCUS CRYSTALS

Magic in Stormrite is intertwined with the mysterious ancient runic language of Redreach. Deciphering these runes and discovering their true meanings will lead to you as the player being one with the energy that surrounds you. Humans in Stormrite do not have any magical powers, and all power is granted by focus crystals. To cast spells, they must charge their energy via a crystal, with different crystals providing varying buffs and abilities to the character. Certain crystals are extremely hard to find, but in return will provide immense power.

TRAVEL THE LAND AND DISCOVER THE SECRETS THAT LIE WITHIN

Explore a vast open-world filled with interesting landmarks and civilisations, learning skills and trades along the way from the people you meet in your journey across Redreach. You will begin in the small mining village of Silverhorn, a quiet settlement that is being terrorised by bandit travellers attempting to take control of the nearby silver mines. Whilst helping defend your neighbors from these thugs, you will discover dark secrets about the village and its residents, and its ties to the legendary tales of the Stormrites.


Along your journey, your character will become increasingly entangled with the storyline of the Stormrites, potentially finding yourself in a position where you must save the kingdom from the terrors that could be unleashed by these powerful scrolls.
From the intense droughts of the Southern deserts to the unforgiving winters of the North, Redreach has plenty of regions for you to explore, each with their own stories and legends.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH

With Stormrite's branching skill trees you are given the ability to mould your character into the fighter you want to be. With a wide range of spells, weapons, and equipment to choose from, you can tailor your loadout every time to deal with each encounter that is thrown at you. Each tier of the skill tree increases the amount of specialisation available to your character, while the choices you made earlier into account to decide which paths you choose from next.

GAMEPLAY FEATURES

Stormrite is a fully single-player third-person experience. Your time will be spent going on enthralling quests, exploring the kingdom of Redreach and using various weapons and fighting techniques to dispose of your enemies. The three main styles of fighting are melee, ranged and magic. However, within each of these three categories there are several choices of weapon/combat style for you to choose. For example, ranged players can choose to go for a traditional bow and arrow loadout, can choose to go for a more clunky but powerful crossbow style, or even a hybrid melee-ranged loadout utilising agility, daggers, and throwing knifes.

Magic users can choose to cast spells that directly affect their enemies, summon companions to fight, or manipulate the very fabric of the world around them. You are also able to shoot spells into each other, resulting in some very interesting interactions that can be used to increase your options in combat.
Melee users also have plenty of choices, with 5 fighting styles (and counting) to choose from, and abilities to aid with your battles.

Stormrite will also have a companion system where you can bring allies on your travels to fight alongside you, either supporting you from behind or soaking up all the attention while you deal the damage from behind. This opens up many different ways to approach situations, with no two encounters being the same.
There are also plenty of other interesting gameplay mechanics that we have added/plan to add, such as mounts, feats, and many more!
