Moonring

Released: 9/28/2023

A free game by the co-creator of the XBox's Fable series. Five hundred years ago, the land of Caldera was plunged into endless darkness. Decades later, five moons rose in the sky, bringing light to the world and strange Gods with it. With them came the Dreams: calls to Devotion promising supernatural Gifts. Thus, the new Calderan civilisation was born; a world of Devotion and Dreamers, Gods and Gifts, with a Dreamless Archon acting as the Gods' mortal representative. But Archons are not eternal, and a successor must be found. You are Dreamless: free to choose your own destiny, to ask questions others dare not, or even become Archon yourself. What will you do, Dreamless one? Moonring is a retro-inspired open-world, turn-based, tile RPG in the style of the classic Ultima games, but created from the ground up with modern design sensibilities. The world's geography is hand-designed, but the deadly dungeons beneath the surface reconfigure each time you leave... or die. Travel, trade, sneak, fight and sail the world of Caldera. Speak with the townsfolk, learn Caldera's secrets, and challenge the Archon for his throne... or even overthrow the Gods themselves! Features: - Large, hand-designed open world - An infinite supply of dungeons generated using your character name - Over 100 varied enemy types, from fodder to bosses - 35 unique Gifts from the Gods, their usage changing with the moon phases - Sailing, ship-to-ship combat and boarding - A Dungeon Synth OST with over 50 tracks, all made using retro Mod Trackers! - A hidden magic system and many other mysteries
