About The Game
Magic has been outlawed for centuries. People with mythical gifts like yours are hated, hunted, feared, and oppressed. The world is now ruled by science, steel, and industry, and society has been taught to fear the supernatural. At best, you and your kind are nothing more than a fairytale. At worst, you are the state's greatest threat.
For centuries, using magic meant death. But now something worse has returned: demons from another world, nightmarish monsters that feed on chaos and violence, and the world needs fighters like you to protect the population from their invasion. Guns and bullets do no good against this ancient evil; only your people and your supernatural powers have the ability to fight fire with fire. Suddenly, your gifts are no longer a curse. They're the world's last hope.
So you join the Shepherds: an order of elite heroes and fighters comprised of the very people the world once feared more than the demons themselves. As a Shepherd, you’ll solve magical crimes, slay demons to protect the citizens of Haven, and build your reputation throughout the capital. Explore the world of Blest, recruit allies and factions to join the Shepherds’ cause, find romance and companionship, investigate mysteries, lead rebellions and exorcisms, and uncover answers to the crises plaguing the world. Where are the demons coming from? Where have the gods or God gone, if they ever existed? Who are you, really?
And will you be the world’s true savior...
Or will you be its ultimate downfall?
