About this game
They call you Harbinger. You are a Keeper, a sworn protector of the Realm, mutated by necromancy to keep the monsters that plague the land in check. But you are no ordinary Keeper. You are the most powerful Keeper of your generation. A genetic anomaly: the only living Keeper to survive the mutation with a positive blood type. You possess the physical might of a mutant and the forbidden spell-casting of a mage. Now, a new terror has risen. An experiment to resurrect the extinct Elves has failed, unleashing a horde of "Abominations." They are twisted and infectious creatures that are overrunning the Middle Realm. Keeper’s Vigil is a 193,000-word interactive dark fantasy novel by Lota Labs. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. As the Abominations claw at the gates of the Inner Realm, you must uncover the conspiracy within your own Order. Traitors seek to bring back the ancient Elves to fight an even greater threat: the Anunnaki. But the price of resurrection may be the death of humanity.

If you embrace your power too fully, you may lose your humanity forever and become the very monster from which you were sworn to protect the Realm. Play as male, female, or nonbinary; gay, straight, or bisexual. Romance a rival: Woo the compassionate Royal Heir, the fiery Rebel Leader, or your former best friend, whom you believed to be dead years ago. Master the Mutation: Utilize your corrupted blood to unleash devastating and supreme magic, or seek a cure to restore your humanity before you transform into a beast. Choose your Faction: Align with the strict Order, the freedom-fighting Rebels, or enter the Lusus Naturae tournament to earn the loyalty of the Beast Clan. Define your Legacy: Will you block out the sun to intimidate the Regent, sacrifice a limb to survive, or ascend to godhood to stop an interdimensional invasion? Investigate the Outbreak: Use your perception and necromancy to track the source of the Abominations before the Inner Realm falls. The A…
