Publisher Digital Tribe and indie studio Innervoid Interactive released today the Free Prologue of their upcoming sandbox rpg Dustgrave. Dustgrave, which is set to release in Q4 2024 on Steam Early Access, offers players total freedom and a powerful emergent narrative thanks to its powerful character editor and advanced record and relationship system, which tracks every event in the world and makes NPC react to what they know about you, depending on their morality and interests. In this expanded demo, you will have the same freedom of choice that the full game will present. Saves will carry over to the final game when it releases, so don't be afraid of taking your first steps in this land of strife and conflict!
ABOUT DUSTGRAVE
Carve your own path in the dangerous lands of what once was the mighty Dahlan Empire – now a land of strife and conflict, with all kinds of factions struggling among them. Follow the laws or seek to sow chaos: every choice is yours to make. Your actions can empower your faction to make it the most powerful of the continent; or you can go your own way and try to maintain a balance of power. Featuring a deep turn-based combat system that allows combinations of skills, spells, and items, you have endless tactical options to adapt the game to your playstyle. You can also rely on Dustgrave’s advanced stealth system to achieve your goals – you can break into places to steal valuable clues (or just, well, valuables), assassinate enemies, and other questionable deeds. Just be aware that, thanks to Dustgrave's advanced record and relationship system, the world will remember your choices -- and react accordingly...
ABOUT THE FREE PROLOGUE
Dustgrave’s Prologue includes all the mechanics that you will find in the full game, but in a limited world map and with a level cap of 10 for your characters. In this prologue you won’t be able to join factions, but you can accept and fulfill missions for them. The available factions include two political ones (Panavian Republic and the Golden Dahlans), a religious order (the Cathars), a scholar institution (the Academy) and two bands of outlaws (the Vultures and the Onorati).
