Prague, Czech Republic – November 6, 2024 - Fulqrum Publishing and Karaclan are delighted to bring you a very early Christmas present - as they are offering the prologue to the upcoming RPG VED, VED: Purification - which is completely free to all players, as of today!
Featuring stunning hand-drawn art and animation, turn-based combat mechanics and roguelite elements, VED is an RPG that tells the story of Cyrus, a young hero who sets out on a quest to become a master of sword and magic and save everything he knows from destruction.
Available for free from today on Steam, VED: Purification offers players the chance to experience the first chapter of the game, so that they can get to grips with the game’s world and mechanics, without spoiling the full story for themselves, before the final game releases on November 14th on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox consoles, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and GoG.
The events of VED: Purification are set 30 years prior to the narrative of VED, following a different character, a Vedic warrior by the name of Dook, who fell in love with a magical being. But as the Vedic order is sworn to keep the magical and the mundane worlds separate, eliminating any semblance of magic from the human world, theirs is certainly a complicated love story; and it’s up to you to decide how it will end…
The game’s full launch on November 14th will see Cyrus set off on his journey, exploring a world inspired by diverse cultures and mythologies. Throughout Cyrus’s quest, he will encounter various factions that have different views on the events taking place. By helping inhabitants from magical lands and the human world, Cyrus will learn more about himself, both universes, and, most importantly, how to save them all... or become their doom.
