Tentang Permainan Ini

Pactbound is a dark fantasy RPG about bargaining, not catching. Every creature you meet can be talked with, and if it agrees to deal, the terms are real: you name what you're offering, it names what it wants back, and the bargain resolves the same way every time given the same numbers. No dice hidden behind the curtain.

Every pact costs something permanent. Memory. Years off your life. A bond with someone you care about. A point off one of your own stats. Health that doesn't come back with rest. A favor that gets called in later, on someone else's schedule. What you spend, you keep spent. The game will not let you take it back.

Your choices are tracked two ways: five hidden axes that shape who creatures think you are underneath everything, and a visible Grace and Malice meter that shows the world's running account of what you've actually done. Neither is a morality score with a good or bad label on it.

Bond with a creature and you can wear its strength quietly or call it up to full power mid-fight. Recruit companions, each with their own arc and their own reasons for being stuck where you find them.

Pactbound is a solo dev project, built with AI-assisted tools alongside every human decision on design and prose. It is currently in beta: two regions are playable today, with more of the world still being built.

Most visual assets — character portraits, creature illustrations, region maps and location art — were generated with Black Forest Labs' Flux Dev via Replicate under the developer's direction, then curated, reviewed and in some cases hand-edited by the developer before inclusion. All writing, dialogue, worldbuilding, game systems and code are human-authored. No copyrighted characters or real people are reproduced.

Penerangan Kandungan Dewasa

Pembangun menerangkan kandungan ini seperti berikut:

Pactbound is an adult dark-fantasy game for players 18 and over. It
contains:

Sacrifice, grief and moral compromise. The core mechanic is bargaining
away your memories, your years and the people you love. That is the
point of the game, not a side effect.

Implied sensuality and gothic decadence. Brothels exist. Romance can be
polyamorous and can be queer. Nudity appears in painted art, never as
the focus. There is no explicit sex. There are no minors in any sexual
or romantic context, ever.

Blood, violence, body horror and ritual imagery, painted rather than
photographic, but not softened.

Villain paths, betrayal and broken oaths. The game records what you did
and does not forget it.

Themes of memory loss, mourning and harm accepted as the price of a
bargain. These are implied and felt rather than shown directly.
