About This Game

The Third Minor Noble War would later be known as the War of the Frontier's Birth. We know what started it and how it ended, but we still know nothing about the Knight who determined its outcome.

Only the Knight himself can tell that story.

You arrive in the New South as a knight of the Empire, born to enforce God’s miracles upon the world. Knight is your duty. Knight is your name. Knight is everything you know. 

In search of the Saint of the Frontier, you will lead a vanguard of eight companions. Each with their own interests, reasons, or obligations to be here. They won't follow you out of fellowship. They aren't your puppets, and they despise each other. They'll interfere, interrupt, and spy on you. But knowing you will define the rest of their lives.

As commander of the rear division, you will bring God's judgment on earth and make decisions that cost soldiers their lives. Resolve conflicts between settlers, stop disobedience, pass sentence on traitors, and find the fragile balance between the army, the aristocracy, and the colonists — or break it completely. Your decisions will dictate the outcome of the campaign’s decisive battle.

Exploring the frontier means pushing the borders of the Holy Valley outward. You will see the New South from its worst angles. Your mission will take you deep behind enemy lines, across the lands of the Forgotten People, through villages consumed by religious hysteria, and into places the Church and State won't even acknowledge exist.

And of course, you will fight: enemy forces, hostile predators, people who have made this land their own, and creatures older than the faith that gave this war its justification. Out here, their numbers make it hard to pretend the frontier was uninhabited before. How far and how hard you push will determine how far the Empire's borders reach.

As a knight of the Empire, many eyes are on you. Much is expected of you. You are meant to follow duty, serve the common good, and uphold the virtue of your title. But the Frontier awakens old things. 

The First Saint has already been born — and he will force you to choose.

Key Features

Dynamic real-time combat with tactical elements: Fight and issue orders to your companions in real time. Many of those orders can get them injured or even killed. Upgrade your miracles and choose your fighting style. 

Eight companions with their own will: A friend to all is a friend to none. Your relationships depend on their personal sympathy, the choices you make, and your authority in their eyes. Each one has a history, personal interests, and quests to complete. And yes, there are romance options among them.  

A morality system that actually works: Tired of evil playthroughs that just cut content and only exist for YouTube creators? So are we. Every choice in Petty Warfare has pragmatic weight and real value. Which value you prioritize is up to you.

Dialogue built around pressure: Branching conversations that shape your leadership style. Interrupt people mid-sentence and delegate lines to companions without knowing what they're going to say.

Rear camp management: Handle correspondence, guard rotations, and the kitchen. Monitor your soldiers and sentence your deserters. Every decision matters. Like really. Choices made in the demo will land in the short term and follow you into the full game.

A frontier of horror and politics: Over 50 original characters written to tell that particular story, each showing you a different face of the New South. Some of the plot will reach you through events. Some through symbolic dreams. Some only on a second playthrough.

The New South is one corner of a much larger world. Dozens of nations, competing faiths, cultures, histories, and dark origins. You won't learn everything. But you'll move through it as the knight you were entrusted to be.

Original species of predators and the Forgotten People: You'll fight them before you understand what they actually are.
