About this gameFull description from Steam
The world is broken. Its surface seethes with an undead curse, while humanity clings to flying continents in the sky. From mushroom forests to undead mausoleums, strange places and people await you. But will you find a way to heal this world - or seek power and profit for yourself? Uncover a rich, interactive narrative through the game's quests, or pick a direction and explore by yourself. Carve your own path. Towns offer a needed respite for a weary traveller to sleep through the night, trade goods, accept quests and speak with the locals. A keen mind or charming wit can prove just as useful as a sword; and your decisions will shape how the story unfolds. Welcome… to Dread Delusion. Key Features: Embark on a world-spanning quest to decide the fate of the land Build your character to face challenges the way you want. There’s always an alternative to combat: charm NPCs, pick locks, harness forbidden knowledge and more… Explore a world full of unique characters, creatures, challenges, and treasure Use Smithing and Alchemy to upgrade equipment - turn a rusty blade into a Master Crafted Clockwork Sword. Gameplay inspired by classic RPGs of the 2000s Wield a variety of powerful spells and potions to bend reality to your will. Join or Oppose various Factions as they pursue their own goals A beautiful retro 3D aesthetic
