Thrall

"Imagine being a forgotten spirit, shattered and without a body, awakened in a world where the only path to survival is to steal the very essence of your enemies."

"In our game, you are the forgotten ghost of a tyrannical king, shattered in body and memory, awakened by a broken ritual deep beneath ancient ruins. To reclaim your power and uncover the truth of your downfall, you must possess the living and piece together your past through stolen memories. Every choice of who you possess dramatically alters your playstyle and the dynamics of combat, making each encounter a fresh puzzle. The path to reclaiming your power and uncovering your past is fraught with unpredictable consequences, ensuring a thrilling, ever-changing journey. It's about creative combat, emergent strategy, and a constantly evolving battlefield where your choices truly matter. 

Through stolen memories and haunted ruins, you piece together the truth of your reign... and why it had to end."
