The Guiding Spirit is a party-based interpersonality simulator with role playing elements in a multi-chaptered storybook format. Yes, you read that right. In this game, you don't control the heroes, you create them. You characterize them. You guide them. And well... you might very well be the cause of their death, if you are not careful enough. More than a thousand handcrafted story scenes are making sure that each choice you make, counts. But what options do you have, you ask?
Create memorable, complex characters
Your heroes (or villains!) might be strong, clever and/or perceptive. But they might also be sleepwalkers, afraid of the dark, claustrophobic or just... not the sharpest tool in the shed. The world of Anderelm consists of many unique species, adrenaline-addict scurgs, nimble, trickster kumers, mystical nixes who juggle with fire, stone-skinned ofeys born out of magical events. Is the hero you create a warrior, a paladin or... a gravedigger? Are they greedy, impatient, maybe they complain too much? Do they favor a specific weapon or instead they are specialized in certain locks and traps? Generate complex characters with a single click or define each aspect of your characters yourself, by choosing from:
* 14 ancestries * Over 30 professions * Over 160 personality traits * Over 70 survival traits * Over 65 background story elements * Over 170 skills and specializations * Over 100 special abilities and spells * multiple followers, domains, constellations and more
and combining them to get a unique background story and gameplay style!
Guide your heroes through a savage land
And with that chaos intensifies... Depending on what band of misfits you created, as they discover new places and meet their inhabitants, delve into the depths of monster-infested dungeons and learn more about the world, they will try to survive. They will work together, maybe become friends or lovers, or on the contrary, they will do their best to trick, betray or even murder each other - depending on how You - the player - defined them. They will have their own rituals, their own culture, their goals might contradict each other. But the mystery around what happened to all of them might just forge them together... with your help. How the characters think, speak and act, trying to survive on the land of Anderelm will be based on their defined aspects and the occasional push from you, their Guiding Spirit. From time to time you will be able to push your heroes into a certain direction – but it needs to be done wisely and carefully - as they might not agree with your decision!
