★Medieval Magic★

Umbraeth is a brutal and merciless world, where survival is a luxury reserved for the strongest, most cunning, and often cruel. This place is shrouded in constant gloom, with grey skies that rarely let in sunlight. Moral and physical corruption permeates every aspect of life, from disease-infested cities to wastelands filled with grotesque creatures.
The player is an outcast in this world, treated like trash by the dominant races and inhabitants. No one respects him; he is the constant target of ridicule, humiliation and betrayal. To many, his existence is a joke, an opportunity to vent their cruelty.
The story takes place in an environment full of suffering, hopelessness and a sense of endless struggle, where the player must endure constant injustices in order to try to survive and, perhaps, find some shred of redemption or power.

Dark, dirty and oppressive. The cities are full of narrow streets, pestilence and crime. The countryside is a wasteland infested with monsters and dangers.
The medieval aesthetic has a decadent touch: half-ruined castles, temples converted into lairs of evil cults, and forests full of deformed and cursed creatures.

Therianis: Beastly humanoids with a terrifying appearance. Cruel and racist, they view the player as an inferior being.
Vermignis: A race of parasites that inhabit corpses, turning them into sentient zombies. Their existence is a constant reminder of the lurking death.
Kaldrak: Reptilian people who rule the swamps. They are cunning and view the player as cannon fodder or a potential slave.
Igraths: Humans corrupted by dark magic, obsessed with experimenting on other living beings.
Creatures such as deformed chimeras, giant worms, and wraiths lurk in both the fields and the ruins.

The player is always treated with contempt or indifference. Every NPC, whether peasant, noble or monster, has a motive to humiliate or use him.
Social systems are designed to keep the player at the bottom of the hierarchy. Even rewards for completing quests are often mean-spirited or cheat-like.
Constant betrayals: allies that turn out to be enemies, contracts that end in ambushes and safe havens that are not safe.

Storms are constant, with acid rain or winds that carry diseases.
The nights are endless, and the deadliest creatures come out to hunt under the red moon.

Magic is corrupt and dangerous. Using it always has negative consequences for the player, such as physical or mental deformities.
Religions are fanatical and cruel. The gods of Umbraeth are merciless, and their cults show no mercy to the weak.

Extreme Difficulty: Every decision has negative consequences. Choosing to help someone could result in being stabbed in the back.
Painful Progression: Leveling up or improving skills always comes at a price, whether physical, mental or moral.
Constant Loss: The player can lose equipment, allies, or even body parts after brutal encounters.
Umbraeth is designed to challenge and torment the player, turning every small victory into something meaningful and desperately needed.
