SANDS OF SODIS

An ancient entity stirs, plunging the dreary, war-stricken isle of Falcia into what appears to be a collective madness. A crippled knight happens upon a Fallen Angel, and their paths become one upon resolving to face the new threat by any and all means - despite the quickly-faltering certainty in what it is that they face.



⍔ Challenging party-based IP combat, warped by obscure deck-building mechanics
⍔ Everything-is-a-resource resource management
⍔ A hand-crafted world that speaks in riddles - a world-sized labyrinth
⍔ Nuanced character interaction, with open-ended choices and a consequence to each and every choice

SANDS OF SODIS hopes to capture the atmosphere of the classic JRPG, in everything but a departure from high-fantasy.

Resources, class resources included, are scarce. Collect what little reagents and materials you can find to craft consumables, and manage your small inventory wisely. You must apply the same conduct to ability usage in battle. Vitality and class resources do not regenerate. By these rules, there must be strategy in every action you take.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



IP combat returns. Control the tide of battle by interrupting enemy actions, while using stuns and critical hits to juggle turn order and buy time. Combat extends into exploration: use stealth to avoid dangerous enemies, or pacify them with well-aimed projectiles, and your resources are sure to last you longer.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Make questionable alliances, bringing varied playstyles to the table. Build your support-oriented party members in a way that complements yours, and you may gain access to deeper layers of strategic advantage in battle. Complete Requests for the residents of Falcia's towns, and they may give due reward. Your companion also happens to have a request of his own: honor his Hunt.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Find the REMNANTS OF SODIS scattered across Falcia, each hidden within a daedal Sanctum. With each, unlock a unique set of skills and modifiers that can be progressed with usage and experience, as well as an essential function in map exploration. Notice the CARDS suspended before you; play them right to become strong enough to face the unstoppable... but forget not that you must pay the piper.
