PRESENTATION The Earthen Reign is a 2D fantasy old-school RPG in the vein of Vagrant Hearts and the old classics. Long ago, a dying world forced mankind to flee beneath the surface, forging a new civilization in the depths — the Earthen Reign. Now, generations later, the time has come to reclaim the surface. As Lyra, eldest of three royal sisters, prepares to ascend the throne, hope stirs for a return to the world above. With her steadfast sister Lysandra at her side, she seeks a path back — to restore, rebuild, and reclaim. But not all share that vision. Malindra, the youngest, a sorceress of death and shadow, believes the underworld is their true dominion — and that returning would doom them all. As ideals clash and blood ties fray, an ancient conflict brews in the deep. When darkness threatens to silence Lyra’s voice, it falls upon Lysandra to rise — and decide the fate of both realms. FEATURES 15 hours of gameplay Explore the vast caverns of the Earthen Reign, from bustling cities like Stalwart Citadel to mysterious ruins and forgotten depths Unique biomes: lava-choked depths, fungal forests, crystal caverns, and cursed temples Dynamic NPCs with personal stories, local cultures, and subtle lore that unfolds through exploration and dialogue Turn-based battles with a focus on strategy, exploiting enemy weaknesses, and managing party synergies A sweeping, emotional soundtrack inspired by classic RPGs — from haunting cavern echoes to triumphant battle themes Navigate the tension between those clinging to safety below and those daring to dream of the sky The choices of the sisters — and the player — determine the future of both worlds
