Krystalivm

Krystalivm 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 Krystalivm 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.

Long live the revolution!

The seed has been prepared. Carefully, vigorously. Prepared to be carried far and wide and planted into fertile soil. We now await those who would sow it, water it, harvest its fruits. Those who will move minds, hearts, and feet. The tyranny of the Iron Tzar has gone on for far too long!

Krystalivm addresses dark, dystopian themes specific to the steampunk genre in both direct and metaphorical ways. Topics relevant to us today are used within the genre’s framework to question and analyze civilization and humanity. We want to tell an impactful story that touches on themes relevant to today, played out in a world of our own making, that provides us with the creative freedom to set its foundations, making them easy to navigate, interesting to explore, and existing to be influenced by players.

This world is designed to evolve throughout the Krystalivm trilogy, both during and between its chapters. The main events show us the beating heart of the revolution, taking us into its headquarters – but the characters will be taken into the trenches, sent on secret missions, and given other assignments during smaller events (field mission larps) that will further unveil or introduce plots explored in the trilogy.
