In a far, far away land, mortals vie for control over a physical plane of existence. A collection of gods oversee this plane, lending their powers to those they see fit in pursuit of balance. Denizens of other planes reach their hands (and claws) in, many seeking nothing but chaos. You are a Kontra, a Demigod with the power to influence and control mortals. Though still a novice, you seek to build a kingdom worthy of lasting recognition.
You haven't had much luck so far...
Mortals have Alignment and Opinions which make them unique. They have Memories where they store the interactions that have impacted them the most. Their Alignment, Opinions, and Memories drive their reactions and decisions.
Embrace the unique set of Beliefs that unite your Mortals to keep them happy!
A highly motivated Mortal will do everything in their power to rise to the top and make their foes pay while making sure everyone knows why. Each playthrough is seeded with a simulated history of Mortals and interactions that form the basis of where your story starts.
Mortals learn, they influence one another, and their Skills and Ambitions grow. Gods reward their growth with powerful Abilities. Eventually they age, regress, and die.
Take control of your ruler in third person to appreciate your kingdom from a new perspective! Embark on a peaceful stroll through your forest. Hunt a local herd of deer for food using your trusty magical bow. Butter up a trader to lower their prices for a good deal. Convince a visiting Noble to defect from their liege lord and donate their goods to your cause. Live out cinematic moments where you hop down from the battlements to ambush your foes or use your skills to keep the attention of a giant beast while your people bring it down.
Beyond other Mortals, a growing threat has culminated in the appearance of Demonic Carbuncles across the lands. Break them open to take on the challenge of the Demonic Breach - yielding endless waves of Demons with scaling rewards. Face the Breacher, a demon that can lay waste to even the strongest defenses. Wield the local Mage's powers to push back the threat and seal the Breach before everyone dies. Bask in the glory of besting overwhelming odds or forego the rewards and choose the safer path. It's up to you.
A Kingdom continues as long as you have someone left to wear the crown. The loss of a ruler can render the reason behind a longstanding feud moot or bring a forgotten injustice back to the forefront. Opinions of a new ruler will differ and people will react accordingly.
Keep your people alive and happy to secure their legacy!
The loss of the Kingdom is but the end of a chapter in a World's story...
Ascend and you continue on in the same World!
