Dear fellow Taoists,
The official version of the S4 season of 'Cultivation Tales' has now begun.

Greetings, everyone

I'm a solo developer working on a FPS set in a dark-fantasy wintry world.

In this world, an endless winter fell upon the world with the arrival of the Winter King. Hence the name 'Untold Winter'. To fight the terrors of this wintry, cold world, the player will handle firearms, since the enemies of this world, the so-called 'all cold creatures', are vulnerable to fire. And also, by reading the scrolls of knowledge you are able to cast magical spells. The River of Souls, is a river containing the dead. It is what separates the Winter King and his minions from the world of the living. His army is approaching, and is up to you to defeat him.

This game will be based on runs. Meaning, each time you cross the River of Souls, is considered a run.
For now you will be able to harvest red orbs from fallen enemies, crystals to improve a run, and face combat challenges required to upgrade your gear. I think is important that the gameplay feels nice before adding more content, so playtests will be available to gather feedback. I will set up a discord channel for this and put the link in the side bar of the store page, as steam doesn't allow external links inside the store anymore.

You can see the store page here and wishlist it.
