Verfall: A Dark and Strategic RPG The world of Verfall is in ruins. The 'Servants of Corrosion' have been unleashed, and now it's a race against time to save what remains. Heroes marked by the 'Mark' carry the burden of a curse and must unite, facing the challenge with the few resources available. Traditional power-ups are not an option — every battle must be fought with what you have. Key Features: Karma and Morality System : In Verfall, karma is based on the seven deadly sins, and it influences your choices, abilities, and the fate of your characters. Your actions and decisions will shape the story, determining who lives, who dies, and which paths you can take. Karma reflects your choices, from saving or sacrificing children to interacting with NPCs that challenge your beliefs. Strategic Team Building : Each of the 18 heroes brings unique and passive interactive abilities, which are essential for shaping the narrative and unlocking secrets: Ghost Ability : Converse with spirits and reveal hidden fragments of the story. Physical Ability : Jump obstacles and move objects to access special areas. Expert Ability : Discover secrets, hidden areas, and treasures. Social Ability : Extract crucial information from NPCs and alter the course of your journey. Advanced Turn-Based Combat : Face enemies with unique resistances, using a combination of magic and abilities that are limited but progressively more powerful, depending on your characters' karma. Combat requires careful planning and strategy, especially in the higher difficulty levels. Progressive Difficulty and Roguelite Mode : With four difficulty levels, Verfall challenges players of all kinds. In roguelite mode, death has severe consequences, and limited resources test your adaptability and survival skills. Explore a Rich World : Over 150 maps with bonus stages, action sequences, puzzles, and hidden locations to discover. Freedom to choose the order of stages, creating a unique experience with every playthrough. Interact with over 1000 NPCs, each with secrets, quests, and stories that may alter the course of your journey. Multiple Endings and One True Ending : Verfall offers five alternate endings, based on your choices and accumulated karma. For players seeking to uncover all the mysteries, there’s a true ending, accessible only for those who complete the game’s deepest challenges. Karma-Based Crafting : Craft items and upgrade abilities based on the moral choices you make throughout your journey. Your karma determines what items and abilities you can craft, allowing for different approaches and strategies in your adventure. Tactical Resource Management : Resource management is crucial in Verfall. Wisely manage the items you collect, the potions you prepare, and the powers you consume, as resources are limited, and survival depends on how you use them. Immersive Interactions : The world of Verfall is full of details and side stories to explore. Interact with characters who may provide crucial information, or just to hear their tales and jokes. But beware: not everything that seems useful truly is, and some interactions may irreversibly shape your destiny. Verfall is a challenging, atmospheric RPG that requires careful management of karma and resources, ideal for players seeking a deep, dark experience filled with moral choices. With tactical combat mechanics, an engaging story about sacrifice, redemption, and the seven deadly sins, and multiple endings that make every playthrough unique, this is a game for those ready to confront their inner demons and fight for an uncertain future. IMPORTANT WARNING 'Verfall is a soulslike game not designed to be easy or casual. Even with 4 difficulty levels, it demands strategy, patience, exploration, and attention to details. Frustration is part of the journey, and impulsive choices carry heavy consequences. It’s not ideal for those seeking light fun or an effortless experience. Prepare yourself for an intense challenge!'
