Krystalium

What was once a revolution for freedom has become something else entirely. Dalvios, once a beacon of rebellion, now is emerging as the only power strong enough to unite the fractured continent. Some believe it is the Republic’s duty to bring stability to a world on the brink of collapse. Others see only the shadow of a new empire rising from the ashes of the old.

The entire continent is at war. Former allies have turned on each other, each nation fighting for its own survival. War is everywhere. It is relentless, brutal, and inescapable. And in the shadows, another battle is being fought—one of whispers, deception, and betrayal. Not all wars are fought on the battlefield. Some are fought behind closed doors, in coded messages, and in the quiet moments before a dagger slips between ribs.

Krystalium can be played as standalone but is planned as a complete trilogy. The characters are meant to influence the game world, experience change, growth, and evolution as the story unfolds.

A story about war and revolution exposes players to difficult themes, and moral decisions, rarely a black-and-white. Every action in the game has consequences and many of those are unforeseeable — but they have to be made.

The Krystalium world is vast and alive and, as in real life, some outcomes will be beyond a character’s reach. Decisions will be made with or without them. And remember, choosing not to act is an act in itself.

A blockbuster story full of surprises. We want the story to not only have exciting twists and turns but also to surprise and wow you with its production value, practical design, and approach to the game environment.
