Vranygrai - Announced

[HiddenX]

The Action RPG Vranygrai has been announced:

Vranygrai

Vranygrai is a story driven action-adventure game with RPG elements. The setting combines several real historical events that formed the first major state of Slavs in Central Europe, the Great Moravia. During these turbulent times, people worshipped pagan gods. The game takes inspiration from traditional beliefs, fairy tales, and stories passed from generation to generation, to provide the most accurate experience.

STORY

The Volkhv, a former Slavic priest and the main protagonist lost his sister in one of the Avars raids - the nation that was supposed to be defeated. He feels he failed not only as a priest, but as brother and protector as well. A story of a broken man that needs to fight his inner demons as well as several mythological creatures and the remains of once great Avar Khaganate. All while the war between Slavs is coming.
Perhaps there is more to his personal history than might be gleaned at first sight...

KEY FEATURES

EXPLORE THE WORLD OF GREAT MORAVIA

• A relatively small, but all the richer and dense, semi-open world that offers itself for exploration. Discover hidden characters and maybe you will come across a rare reward.
• Immerse yourself in the world full of pagan culture set in real world locations. From simple huts hidden in the woods to great fortresses. All inspired by archeological research.
• A dynamic world where characters, animals, and mythological creatures behave differently during the day than at night. Think twice before going into the forest in total darkness!

MEET THE SLAVIC MYTHOLOGY

• Engage in quests inspired by location-based tales and stories.
• A linear main story rich with dubbed dialogue, twists, turns, and suspense. Find out where Volkh's steps lead and what hides in his past.
• Side story lines with the option of choosing and enriching the progress of the task. Get to know the world in which our ancestors lived and the legends associated with it.
• Bestiary - find out everything about the creatures you meet or fight and about the old rituals and beliefs.

IMMERSIVE COMBAT INSPIRED BY MODERN GAMES

• Lots of different types of enemies. You will face fallen Avars, enemy soldiers, and most of all creatures that no one was supposed to meet.
• The hero has at his disposal a rich arsenal of historical weapons and armor for various types of melee and ranged attacks.
• A skill system based on mythology. Unlike ordinary mortals, you will have unique spells as a Slavic priest. Their use will not be frequent, but their impact will be significant.

Nice find looks interesting as another historical mythology based RPG.

Soulslike!

Not seeing the connection sorry but early players say the alpha version is a mess.

Could be interesting I guess. It's made with Unity though and looks somewhat dated imo.

The game world is described as relatively small and semi-open, so it might fit the bill if you're looking for something that's not real lengthy.

Looks like an empty semi open world. I'm not doing another KCD game

Say the game's title fast five times! As for this trailer.. after pressing play, skip.. skip.. skip to character walking and encountering that ghost firing some fire spell at him. Developers get the Award for Anti-Hype!

Yes, its smaller semi-open. Pretty much story-driven game. It was done mostly by one person so it will be somewhat dated.
I like the idea about the world, I just hope the author wont put too much fantasy monsters into it as standard enemies (NPCs in village live like in KDC and then you go to woods and meet rusalki after 20 meters ).
