Overview

About this game

After receiving a mysterious invitation from the influential patron Dr. Marsh, you find yourself drawn into a chain of occult events surrounding an ancient ritual.

You must confront a secretive cult, prevent the ritual, and escape alongside your companions.

Edge of Madness is a dark RPG inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Choose one of four characters and accept the invitation to the Marsh family estate.

Explore the estate grounds, gather items to withstand both external threats and your inner demons, solve intricate puzzles, disrupt the cult’s plans, and uncover the long-buried secrets of the Marsh family. The combat system blends classic JRPG mechanics with modern improvements.

A New Experience in a Familiar Mythos

You will face ancient and incomprehensible forces for which humanity is insignificant. Battles drain your strength, forbidden rituals twist reality, and encounters with nameless horrors erode your sanity. Sometimes, the only way to survive is to turn away and run without looking back.

Uncover secrets hidden deep within the mansion, earn achievements—and who knows what else you might discover.

Combat System

Combat is built around clash mechanics and the use of combat pages that you discover throughout the game. Outcomes are not determined solely by luck or dice rolls.

  • The combination of combat page selection, modifiers, and clash lines gives you greater control over battles than in traditional JRPG or deck-building systems.

  • Carefully choose your combat pages and attack lines to overcome your enemies. Watch your decisions unfold as fate shifts in clashes between your party and the followers of ancient gods.

  • Experience the thrill of risk, where every decision can feel like a gamble.

  • Sanity decreases as battles intensify, increasing the risk of each action as you approach the climax of combat. Dynamic dialogue may also appear during encounters, enhancing immersion.

Key Features

  • Choose from 4 unique characters, each with their own story

  • A gripping narrative with multiple intertwined storylines—every guest has their own motives
