Overview

About this game

🕯️ A Mission of Revelation and Salvation

Otherworld Chronicles is a Lovecraftian game centered on narrative and puzzle-solving.

You step into a cursed and forgotten world. The gods have fallen, civilizations lie in ruins, and conflicts between races and families continue to shape the land — while its true history has long been buried by time and power.

Entrusted with a mission, you will gather and organize surviving texts, clues, and ruins, preserving the traces this world has left behind.

In Otherworld Chronicles, you will discover that
to understand this world is, in itself, the first step toward salvation.

🔍 Investigation-focused narrative puzzles

l Uncover hidden histories and mysteries by reading, interpreting, and connecting narrative fragments scattered throughout the world.

⚔️ Combat encounters and optional side quests

l Certain locations may trigger combat encounters or side stories. These moments add tension and consequence to exploration, without shifting focus away from narrative discovery.

📈 Light character progression

l Earn attribute points through main and side quests to strengthen your character, opening up new possibilities during exploration and combat.

📝Before You Begin
