To reach the North is to chase a dream, but in dreams lie both peril and truth. Do you have what it takes, little padawan?
About this game
PRESENTATION Northbound is a 2D fantasy old-school RPG in the vein of Vagrant Hearts and the old classics. Northbound follows Theran, a hardened Dunereaver who hunts the monstrous Sand Spawns who are both fierceless enemies and the source of food and water in the desert. For generations, travelers have whispered of the North—a land beyond the endless dunes, said to hold answers, riches, or perhaps salvation. In a world where the desert itself is sick with a creeping plague, Theran sets his eyes northward, drawn by myth, desperation, and a promise of discovery. His journey will pit him against merciless wastes, forgotten ruins, and secrets buried in sand and blood. To reach the North is to chase a dream, but in dreams lie both peril and truth. FEATURES A Classic Hero’s Journey – Follow Theran, a Dunereaver bound for the mythic North, in a tale of survival, mystery, and discovery Vast Desert Wastes – Explore shifting dunes, sun-blasted canyons, ancient ruins, and plague-ridden oases Monsters of Sand and Shadow – Hunt terrifying creatures born of the desert plague, from skittering swarms to colossal beasts Echoes of Myth and Legend – Uncover stories etched into stone, whispered by travelers, and half-buried beneath the sands The Mystery of the North – A place spoken of in hushed tones, full of wonders and dangers beyond the desert’s reach Atmospheric Worldbuilding – A land scarred by plague, sustained by rumor, and driven by the hope of what lies beyond SUMMARY:
