Version 0.90 (Open Beta) BETA-Test is live for Reiver! Please give me feedback, report bugs, and let me know how we can improve this game! Reiver is a grim dark-fantasy horror hex crawl about desperate people crossing a dying land beneath the shadow of the Pale Spire. Gather a company of thieves, deserters, pilgrims, hedge-wizards, mercenaries, vagabonds and other doomed souls, then push into the wilderness in search of relics, coin, answers—and a way to survive what waits at the center of the Marches. Every journey costs time and supplies. Every road can turn bad. Every night spent in the wild gives the dark another chance to find you. The world is full of ash wastes, drowned bogs, dead forests, forgotten barrows, ruined temples and isolated hamlets struggling to endure. Hunt and forage when you can. Pray at strange shrines. Recruit henchmen. Scavenge equipment. Take dangerous jobs. Decide when to fight, when to flee, and when whatever you found is valuable enough to risk bringing home. Combat is fast, brutal and unforgiving. Wolves, brigands and restless dead are only the beginning. The farther you travel, the stranger the world becomes: faceless pilgrims, impossible geometry, things beneath black water, and creatures that seem less like animals than mistakes in reality. Above it all stands the Pale Spire. And sooner or later, your company will have to climb. Reiver features: Old-school, rules-light party-based RPG gameplay Open-ended hex-crawl exploration Dangerous wilderness travel and resource management Hirelings, henchmen and expendable adventurers Dark fantasy equipment, relics and trophies Barrows, ruins, shrines, settlements and hidden sites Brutal turn-based combat where retreat is often the smart choice A rising sense of Doom as the world grows increasingly unnatural Lovecraftian horror without abandoning its filthy medieval fantasy roots A seven-floor final descent into madness through the Pale Spire You are not heroes. You are Reivers. Take what you can. Learn what you shouldn't. Survive long enough to regret it. Like the art?
