⚜️ 𝚃𝙸𝙼𝙴 𝙱𝙴𝙽𝙳𝙸𝙽𝙶 ⚜️

Place actions on the Timeline to create epic combos and evade onslaughts of lethal attacks. Turn back time and make a note of predictions to correct any past mistakes and keep your hunters out of harm’s way! Mix, change, and reorganize your actions – you have full control over Time itself!

⚜️ 𝙴𝙽𝚃𝙴𝚁 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙳𝙾𝙼𝙴 ⚜️

Create a team of up to four warriors, arm them to the teeth, and start hunting. Each weapon and armor piece unlocks new skills so choose a strategy that best suits your playstyle… and that best counters each one of the enemy attacks.

No atrocity is considered taboo in the world where gargantuan bloodthirsty Maultigores roam the valleys, and the deceitful Celestials control the time-space continuum. Enter the Dome to leave as the savior or give in to the Madness of the Old Ones…

⚜️ 𝚂𝙴𝚁𝚅𝙴 𝙰𝙽𝙳 𝙿𝚁𝙾𝚃𝙴𝙲𝚃 ⚜️

Salvage resources from fallen enemies and bring them back to your village located under the protective canopy of the Protector. Use bones, guts, fat, and hide to craft new items, unlock powerful skills, and expand your buildings to sustain the defensive field of the Tree.

⚜️ 𝙿𝙾𝚆𝙴𝚁 𝙲𝙰𝚁𝚅𝙴𝙳 𝙸𝙽 𝙵𝙻𝙴𝚂𝙷 ⚜️

Petrification, Broken Jaws, Mutilated Genitalia, Gynophobia, Bipolar Disorder… Each playthrough, you will encounter different events, traumas, skills, body modifications, and weapons that will permanently change your warriors – and your strategy. Hopefully, one day you will uncover the secret of the Dome and remove the shackles restraining the Ancient One.

⚜️ 𝚃𝙸𝚃𝙰𝙽𝚂 𝙾𝙵 𝙼𝙰𝙲𝙰𝙱𝚁𝙴 ⚜️

Gargantuan bosses are the core Tarnished Blood! Slay beautifully horrible, hand-drawn monsters straight from your nightmares! Mutated and frenzied chimeras dwelling under the ground, deceitful and mesmerizing Celestrials, twisted living jungles, and much, much more!
Oh, and each boss has multiple forms with different attack patterns, skills, and tricks!

⚜️ 𝚁𝙴𝚆𝚁𝙸𝚃𝙴 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙴 ⚜️

Before each skirmish, you will resolve a series of events which may turn the incoming battle into a walk in the park… or a one-way visit to hell. Before you decide which path to take, take your hunters’ stats, traits, traumas – and even genders! – into consideration. After all, you wouldn’t want to enter a fight blind, would you?



Choose from the different tribes, tailoring their unique abilities and playstyles to complement your hunters' strengths and weaknesses. Will you focus on nurturing and ensuring each Ritual of Seven Senses is a success, leading to the birth of healthy offspring, or will you lean towards a more aggressive approach, enhancing your capability to deal more damage and crush more bones?
