Digital Tribe Games :
Publisher Digital Tribe and indie studio Innervoid Interactive announced today that their upcoming sandbox rpg Dustgrave will get a free prologue on Steam, to be released on October 10th. This expanded demo offers players the same freedom of choice that the full game will present, allowing them to carve their own path in the dangerous lands of what once was the mighty Dahlan Empire – now a land of strife and conflict, with all kinds of factions struggling among themselves for power. With this free prologue you can take your first steps in Dustgrave: saves will carry over to the final game when it releases.
Players can enjoy Dustgrave's free prologue on Steam on October 10!
Dustgrave, which is set to release in Q4 2024 on Steam Early Access, offers players total freedom and a powerful emergent narrative thanks to its powerful character editor and advanced record and relationship system, which tracks every event in the world and makes NPC react to what they know about you, depending on their morality and interests. You decide what kind of character you want to be: a hero, a priest, a merchant; a thief with a heart of gold or a ruthless outlaw…
Join a faction or join your own way, follow the laws or seek to destroy order: every choice is yours to make. Your actions can empower your faction to make it the most powerful of the continent; or you can go your own way and try to maintain a balance of power. Featuring a deep turn-based combat system that allows combinations of skills, spells, and items, you have endless tactical options to adapt the game to your playstyle. You can also rely on Dustgrave’s advanced stealth system to achieve your goals – you can break into places to steal valuable clues (or just, well, valuables), assassinate enemies, and other questionable deeds.
ABOUT THE FREE PROLOGUE
Dustgrave’s Prologue includes all the mechanics that you will find in the full game, but in a limited world map and with a level cap of 10 for your characters. In this prologue you won’t be able to join factions, but you can accept and fulfill missions for them. The available factions include two political ones (Panavian Republic and the Golden Dahlans), a religious order (the Cathars), a scholar institution (the Academy) and two bands of outlaws (the Vultures and the Onorati).
