A downloadable game for Windows

Current Version: 0.0.2

STORY


Elder Lich is set in a world almost identical to 19th century Earth, except there's magic, undead, Germany is split between a South German Federation, a North German Federation and, between them, a country barely bigger than a city-state, Schadel.

You start your journey with no memories, awakened in a cave. Luckily for you that cave was located in Schadel, one of two countries where the undead have equal rights to the living.

What's your past? What were you doing in that cave? Why is this place so similar to our Earth? It's up to you to find out.



GAMEPLAY

There's something the "Action System" in Elder Lich. Actions can be spells, emotes etc. You can assign them to action sets, with 4 action slots each (you can have as many action sets as you want, though).

In dialogue you sometimes get an option that makes you do a roll. Depending weather you succeed in your roll, the dialogue might proceed differently and you might get XP.

Most NPCs have schedules that they follow daily (you must be careful if you are shopping late, the shopkeeper might leave the store and lock you inside when it's closing time).

It has a leveling system, combat (3 weapon types: Melee, Gun and Throwable), trade, autosave, quicksave.

You start the game as skeleton. However, there is a character creator for a "fleshed" character, in the current version it's only accessible via console command ("opencharactercreator", open console with numpad9). In a future version, you will be able to become a fleshed character without cheats.


Also the weather can vary, from clear sky to very cloudy (In the cloudiest weather there is rain), there's a moon cycle and the position of the sun changes through the year. These don't affect gameplay, but they look cool, so I thought I should mention them.

CHEATS

If you want to try features that can't be accessed through normal play yet or just want to goof around, there is a cheat menu I made for debugging the game.

There's two ways to access it:

-Pressing numpad9 will open the console. From the console you can press the button that says cheat menu. The console will be in front of the cheat menu, so you will have to close it to use the cheat menu.

-With the main menu open in-game you press the run button, while holding the Character Screen button and the move foward button.



This is an early version of the game and thus likely to have bugs and unfinished content.

The save system was designed in a way so saves from the current version are very likely to still work in future versions of the game.
