A Song of Solitude

The crown jewel of the Kingdom of Kralev, lies in ruins. For a total of three hundred days and twenty hours, the city was devastated by bombs and firefights. The troops from the commonwealth besieged the city, blocking all things from entering. When all hope was almost lost, the 3rd army of Kralev successfully broke into the city, opening up the "corridor of life".

Then came the ceasefire. The ruined city became a hub for all kinds of criminal activities. Armies from both sides desperately try to maintain the fragile peace and order. The factory workers in the Northern Industrial district have been making demands to the Kralev authority. Worse still, the Commonwealth has turned a senior official in the district to be a spy. Possibly plotting to exploit a weakness until they finally break the ceasefire.
The stars are out. The sky is burning.

We are huge tabletop RPG fans and we are taking a lot of inspirations from the globally acclaimed Blades in the Dark. It represents "Fiction-first" , a drastically different school of philosophy in TTRPG design, in which mechanics are always provided under an escalating narrative context. There has not been an attempt in adapting it into a video game, where we see there is a golden opportunity. We are adapting the core rules (which is under the creative common license) with our original mechanical twist and world-building. We believe this will pioneer the next generation of role-play games.

A Song of Solitude is a game about lies, lies within lies, lies within lies within lies. It is an unconventional role-play experience that forces the players to really think about what they see and what they read. We are blending the player-driven choices and consequences from RPG with the contextual puzzle solving gameplay from mystery games. Players are not archeologists in this game, their goal is not to figure out what really happened. Instead, their goal is to decide, from incomplete or false information, the destines of everyone around them based on their judgement.
