“Day belongs to me — solid, with edges. Night belongs to her — and she does not come alone.”

Voices of the world

Two gods speak to Zero throughout the game. One holds the day. The other rules the night.

God of Order · Father of Runa
Arkanor

"Suffering tempers the spirit. Build. Hold the shape. The world is round only because I will it so."

Goddess of the Void · Mother of Zero
Noxara

"A blank slate is the most interesting thing there is. Don't think about who you were. Don't think at all."

First Daughter of Arkanor
Runa

A golden spark who gave up her form so a brother could go unseen. Now she walks the wilds as a red tiger — half memory, half claw.

First-Born of the Void · the Player
Zero — the Heart

You woke without memory in a cave at the edge of a stolen world. Whose Heart you are — and what you choose to become — is the whole game.

Screenshots

From cave to altar — combat, expedition, base, rune-carving, boss confrontations.
