About This Demo

Shards of Order Demo gives you a glimpse of what awaits you in the full version of the game.

Expect a dark fantasy RPG with card-based combat, set in a decaying world where reality itself is unraveling. The ancient Laws that once bound life, death, and time have been shattered, leaving behind a place where memory fades, identity fractures, and even the dead refuse to stay buried. Uncover the story of a grim, shattered world by exploring its hidden corners and shaping its fate.

Complete your team of heroes, each with unique abilities, personal arcs, and customizable equipment, combining their strengths to survive on your journey. Developing each of the characters also expands your pool of cards, granting new deckbuilding opportunities.

Battle with a dynamic time-based system where every move shifts the flow of combat, and explore decaying regions filled with secrets, deadly enemies, and epic bosses. Restore shattered Laws to reshape the world; each choice carries weight, as restoring it will impact the rules of the game.

In a land where memory fades and the dead refuse to rest, every decision leaves a mark. There is no order—only what you are strong enough to bring back.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Mature Content Description
Our game contains dark fantasy themes centered around death and decay. Players will encounter references to corpses, mutilation, and the effects of a world where death does not function normally. These themes are primarily presented through text and atmosphere.

Visually, the game includes:

Blood splatters and occasional gore elements.

Enemies designed with skeletal features (e.g., visible skulls).

Combat animations that show characters being impaled on spectral or ghostly spikes.

The overall tone is unsettling and horror-inspired, though without jump scares. There is no profanity, sexual content, nudity, drug/alcohol use, or depictions of sexual assault or self-harm.
