The shape of a journey
Power changes hands.
What changes with it?
Explore, fight, bind, and return. The people you meet need a way to live after the victory.
- 01 / EXPLORE
Follow a different road.
Find local habitats, talk to residents, and uncover the work holding each settlement together.
- 02 / READ & COMMIT
Make your prediction.
Choose while the enemy’s command is hidden. Both reveal together; Speed determines attack order.
- 03 / FORM A BOND
Name strange company.
Weaken a wild curse, trace its binding sigil, and build a party around its individual kit.
- 04 / RETURN
See what you left behind.
Help restore supplies, open alternatives, and face the consequences of decisions made along the road.
Three powers / A broken balance
Protection. Exchange. Keeping.
The Argent Temple hunts Script-Keepers. Keepers expose what the Ashen Market tries to own. Market routes can check Temple power—but their present bargain leaves Sable’s scattered order under siege.
Ashen Market
Medicine, freight and credit. An alternative route can become a debt nobody can afford to refuse.
Script-Keepers
Living names, bindings and surviving accounts. Sable must learn to keep without claiming the final answer.
I / Seven places to come back to
The Warden falls.
The world goes on.
A furnace, a nursery, a grain store. What once kept people obedient can become something they share. Each region asks a different question.
Ember / 01
The Ashen Scar
Bread, water, and a road make refusal possible. Restore the furnace, then ask who gets to hold its key.
Can someone refuse you and still stay warm?
II / Read the history. Choose your answer.
The command is hidden.
The pattern is yours to read.
Both sides commit before commands reveal. Predict from previous rounds, choose a technique, and manage your party’s Focus. A correct read can turn a fight.

Opponent’s commandLocked
Both commands stay hidden until you choose.
A clue, not a promise.
The previous command is public history. This round’s command stays secret until you commit. What do you think comes next?
Seven attributes. Individual strengths.
Vitality, Attack, Defense, Speed, Potency, Resolve and Insight grow with levels. Your choices bring different strengths into play.
Understand the attributesThree revenants. More than one answer.
Equip four Fight commands per revenant, combine their kits, and know when to switch. In standard PvP, only levels are normalized.
A defeat leaves a road back.
Recover at a shrine, revisit your party, and try a different plan. Your bonds and completed progress remain.
III / The Book of Curses and Maledictions
Strange company.
Distinct possibilities.
Meet 333 curses across the campaign: 331 standard combat kits and two exceptional discoveries. Keep three in your active party and the others in a reserve shared across regions.

What do I need to play?
A browser. Open the game for the available access and sign-in options. An account is required for cloud journeys and online play; the story campaign is solo.
Will my journey be kept?
Use Journeys to check cloud status, and Settings & saves to export a portable backup. This introduction does not create or overwrite a journey.
What kind of darkness should I expect?
Unsettling curses, bodily imagery, coercion, scarcity and difficult choices. In-game Settings include motion controls and selected graphic-wording options. Refuges, recovery and hope are part of the journey, too.
