W.R.K.S Games Debuts with BloodBond: Into the Shroud

LONDON, June 14, 2021 -- Today, W.R.K.S Games, a fully self-funded indie studio, debuts their first title BloodBond: Into the Shroud on PC at Steam and the WRKS Store.

Set in the Nordic-inspired universe, Jordenheim, players follow the story of Astrid, a young Viking witch, as she leaves home for the first time to discover the truth behind her burned village. Exploring how all actions matter, BloodBond: Into the Shroud “rewards” players for every action, discovering new locations, crafting items, or receiving blessings from the Gods. As Gods rarely favor anyone in quite the same way, players will experience different journeys on multiple playthroughs.

“It's important for W.R.K.S to lead with story. The team writes the lore long before game design begins. They want people to join the universe from any point and yearn to dive deeper. BloodBond: Into the Shroud is the perfect debut that introduces the world of Jordenheim to players and urges them to explore to the fullest. Our goal as developers is to provide players with a great old-school RPG experience with modern graphics and done in a modern engine.” - Kosala "Kos" Ubayasekara : Founder & CEO 

With a strong focus on exploration and story first, players earn experience in-game through not only combat, but also, discovering new locations, crafting & foraging, and being blessed by the Gods. BloodBond: Into the Shroud takes place when the main protagonist, Astrid finds her village burnt to the ground and her mother missing. Unsure of her own capabilities, she seeks out her father, a hero of yore, Birger. BloodBond: Into the Shroud is a journey of self-discovery and resilience. The players will take different paths to learn the truth and unlock Astrid’s potential.  

Throughout the games, players will journey through Jordenheim. Along the way, the players may choose to stop and pray at altars of the Gods. Gods may choose to bestow a random blessing on the players that will affect the way they play the game.  

Now is the time to answer the call of the Gods, BloodBond: Into the Shroud is available for $24.99 at:
