In the shadow of the King of Light, history is written by the survivors.

In Westalia, a legend is more than a story: it is a weapon of mass destruction. When belief in a legend grows strong enough, that power can reshape the battlefield or consume those who wield it. To overthrow the tyrannical King of Light, the Rebellion must learn to harness this divine force... without becoming the very monster they are fighting.

On one side, Kenmare fights for the freedom of the people. On the other, the Panthers fight to reclaim the throne. Their alliance is a matter of survival; their visions of the future are utterly irreconcilable. And you are the one leading them.

______________________________________________________________________________

Calame is a single-player isometric tactical RPG that combines layered, classic strategy with innovative reality-altering gameplay.

Following in the tradition of classic tactical RPGs, Calame delivers demanding, handcrafted grid-based combat where positioning, unit direction, and class synergies are the keys to survival.

However, Calame redefines tactical combat with its groundbreaking "Correction" mechanic. Powered by the lore's epic "Legend" resource, players aren't limited to fighting on the map. They can actively alter the terrain mid-combat, turning the environment itself into a dynamic weapon to overcome seemingly hopeless situations.

  • DEMANDING TACTICAL COMBAT: Exploit positioning, unit direction, and class synergies to your advantage with a diverse roster of heroes.

  • THE "CORRECTION" MECHANICS: Use Legend dynamics to dramatically alter the battlefield terrain mid-fight.

  • IMPACTFUL CHOICES & ALIGNMENT: Every narrative and strategic decision permanently influences your army's stats, relationships, and the story.

  • RICH RPG PROGRESSION: Unlock powerful skills, level up your squad, and discover legendary gear between battles.

  • COMMAND AN IMPOSSIBLE ALLIANCE: Lead two rival factions with radically different ideologies and playstyles.

DEMANDING TACTICAL COMBAT

Following in the tradition of classic tactical RPGs, Calame delivers demanding, handcrafted grid-based combat where positioning, unit direction, and class synergies are the keys to survival. Players can customize their army with a diverse roster of melee specialists, ranged fighters, mages, and support classes to unleash devastating Overdrives and powerful party combinations.

THE "CORRECTION" MECHANICS

Calame redefines tactical combat with its groundbreaking "Correction" mechanic. Powered by the lore's epic "Legend" resource, players aren't limited to fighting on the map. They can actively alter the terrain mid-combat, turning the environment itself into a dynamic weapon to overcome seemingly hopeless situations. Clear a path, collapse a bridge, ignite a brazier, cut off reinforcements... change the outcome of battle at a critical moment, accept the new consequences and decide which Legend will survive the war.

IMPACTFUL CHOICES & ALIGNMENT

Every decisive event leaves its mark on the Rebellion's Chronicle. The world reacts to what you protect, abandon, or choose to impose. Your companions take sides. Future missions, relationships, and political consequences shift according to the way you wage the war.

Decisions directly alter alignment, unlocking powerful passive traits that permanently reshape the squad's playstyle, faction relationships, and the unfolding story.

RICH RPG PROGRESSION

Recruit up to 15 playable characters, each with a signature weapon, exclusive skills, a unique Overdrive, and archetype evolutions. Their beliefs, affinities, and ties to Kenmare or the Panthers do more than shape the narrative: they also influence combat synergies, camp scenes, and the balance of your army.

Unlock powerful skills, level up your squad, and discover legendary gear between battles.

ONE REBELLION. TWO VISIONS.

Command an impossible alliance.

The Kenmare Troop and the Panthers are not fighting for the same future. One wants to free the people. The other wants to reclaim the kingdom. You lead both forces, mediate their tensions, and decide which vision will ultimately define the Rebellion.

Lean toward Kenmare for greater resilience, healing, defense, and long-term growth. OR Side with the Panthers to emphasize aggression, critical hits, mobility, and offensive pressure.

BASED ON PAUL BEORN'S DUOLOGY

Calame adapts Paul Beorn's world into a tactical RPG where glorious renown, collective belief and storytelling become active forces of war. The novels explore the cost of revolution, the destructive power of legend, and what victory does to those who seek it.
