Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We have chosen to release our visual novel in Early Access because this project is a passion endeavor for our small team. We all work full-time jobs, and development happens in our spare time. We have already invested significant resources into the game and are incredibly proud of what we've built so far. Early Access allows us to share our work with players now, gather valuable feedback, and continue development with the support and input of our community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently estimate that the game will be in Early Access for up to two years. We don't want to make any firm promises, as our development pace depends on our available time and the community's response. However, with positive feedback and support, we are hopeful we can complete the full version significantly sooner.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Our primary goal for the full release is to complete the game's main story arc. While the Ren'Py engine has its limitations, if the Early Access launch is successful, we have plans to expand the game's world significantly. Our ambitions include adding side quests and additional content to enrich the core narrative. These future additions will largely be shaped by player feedback and interest.

Please note: While we are excited about these potential features, their implementation depends on the success of Early Access. We avoid making specific promises on future content to ensure we can deliver a quality experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version includes approximately one-third of the planned main story. Players can experience the game's introduction, meet key characters, and get a solid feel for the narrative and world we are building.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. To thank our early supporters and encourage a larger player base to provide feedback, the game will be offered at a lower price during the Early Access period. We plan to raise the price at the full launch to reflect the increased content and value of the completed game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community involvement is crucial to us. Since the current build focuses on the main story branch, we are eager to hear which characters, story aspects, or parts of the world you find most intriguing. We plan to actively monitor discussions on our Steam Community Hub and may develop additional side quests and content based on popular demand and player feedback. Your voices will directly help us shape the expansion of the game's universe.”

About This Game

Exilium: Kiro - A Steampunk Fantasy Visual Novel

Overview:
Dive into the gritty, magic-lit streets of Dalmar, the capital of a vast empire where blood magic clashes with steam-powered marvels. You are Onuk—a mere human, a street thug fighting for survival in a city that chews up and spits out the weak. Your only currency is your life, and you're willing to bet it all to find your place in this terrifying machine. In Dalmar, everyone must know their place. The question is, how will you carve out yours?

The World of Exilium:
For over a decade in the making, the world of Exilium is a rich, living universe born from our original tabletop RPG. This is not a generic fantasy:

  • A Clash of Eras: Experience a unique blend of dark fantasy and industrial revolution, where sorcery is a weapon and technology is a cruel miracle.

  • A Tapestry of Races: Interact with a diverse cast of Dvergs, Sylphs, Humans, Zels, Ogres, Mogres, and magically-engineered hybrids.

  • Vampires Reimagined: Forget outcasts. Here, vampires are war heroes, a biological weapon revered and feared by the Empire.

Your Story:
Forge your path through the horrors of the Lower City's underbelly. Make dangerous alliances, face impossible choices, and risk everything you have—because you have nothing left to lose. This kinetic visual novel pulls you deep into a story of survival, power, and finding your worth in a world that tells you you have none.

Key Features:

  • A Deep, Original World: Explore the decade-developed lore of Exilium, a setting where every alley has a history.

  • A Hardboiled Protagonist: Live as Onuk, a human bandit using wits and grit to survive in a city designed to break him.

  • Mature & Gripping Narrative: A story for adults, dealing with themes of survival, social hierarchy, and the cost of ambition.
