  • Gameplay Mechanics

    Gloamryn blends strategy and survival with a unique tactical combat system built around an original card game.

    The game takes place on a tabletop-style strategic map with varied terrain and key locations like towns, trade posts, quest sites, and specific resource locations. Instead of building massive bases, players interact with existing settlements or establish temporary camps, which can later become permanent.

    Camps allow players to gather nearby resources, craft equipment, and perform magical rituals.

    Battles are played using Gloamryn’s original card-based system, where unit abilities, equipment, and faction tactics make every fight unpredictable.

    The world is home to many factions – most are hostile, but not always. Each faction has a unique way of fighting and a distinct role in the game. Some are key to progressing the campaign or side quests, while others offer trade opportunities or access to rare resources.

    Resource scarcity, magic, and trade are crucial for survival. New units join through quests or are born into the world, adding a long-term progression element.

  • Storyline and Setting

    Gloamryn takes place in a world of eternal twilight, where the sun has long since faded, leaving behind an eerie, mystical landscape. This perpetual dusk shapes gameplay by limiting resources, influencing enemy behavior, and demanding constant survival strategies.

    Players will interact with different factions while exploring ruins, mastering magic, and fighting to survive.

    The game features a main campaign with a rich story, along with side quests that provide additional challenges and opportunities.

  • Visual and Audio Design

    The art style of Gloamryn is moody, atmospheric, and painterly, reflecting the haunting beauty of a world in eternal twilight.
    The visuals feature deep blues and purples, with warm firelight and golden accents providing contrast.
    Mist-covered landscapes, glowing flora, and gothic structures contribute to the game’s quiet, mystical ambiance.

    The strategic view resembles a tabletop board game, while tactical combat plays out like a card game.

    Gloamryn also features an original soundtrack, enhancing the immersive and mysterious tone of the world.
