About This Game

Join Taliph the angry teenager, Fen the town bully, Weirden the... weird, Frau the suddenly-appearing, and a really confused turtle as they navigate a dying world.

Backstory

The story of Taliph and his friends takes place a long time ago on a small island town. Taliph has made it his life's mission to find his missing father inside barrels around town. Why barrels? He refuses to answer this question.

Taliph suffers from dreams of a god that has named itself Annihilus. Town folklore mentions a "dark" god and a "light" god. Taliph assumes this is the dark god. Meanwhile, the island is gradually losing self-sufficiency due to failing support systems, diminishing food, dying plants, a shrinking population, an increasing number of monsters, and the appearance of growing sinkholes that threaten to swallow the whole island.

But this is not just the story of a town. It's also a story of people, man and god alike, who don't (or at least won't) accept the world around them.

Join Taliph. Fight against the chaos of an angry god. Shape the world as it ends. Perhaps something new will come out the other side.
