The Iron and the Oath
SteamAbout The Iron and the Oath
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗮𝘁𝗵 is an interactive narrative RPG where every choice carves a different path through a world of medieval power, faith, and betrayal.
𝗔 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲
You are Karl von Aiden, born into a noble family in a land torn between warring powers and ancient loyalties. From childhood to your final hour, every decision you make — whom to trust, whom to defy, what to believe — will shape the man you become and the legacy you leave behind.
𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀. 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀.
Your story spans five chapters of Karl's life, branching into three distinct routes — each revealing different truths about the world and its people. With over 40 attribute gates and dozens of story flags that carry consequences across chapters, no two playthroughs are the same.

Attribute cultivation — Develop Karl's Martial, Scholarly, Faith, Political, and Social abilities. The stats you build determine which challenges you can overcome and which doors remain closed.

Navigate the treacherous politics of noble houses, the rigid hierarchies of the church, and the brutal reality of medieval warfare. Forge alliances, uncover conspiracies, and confront impossible dilemmas where honor and survival rarely align.
Every oath has a price. Every bond can be broken.
