About Ephemeral Tale

About this game

An inevitable end. An unstoppable beginning. Where another story ends, yours is just getting started.

Ephemeral Tale is a dungeon crawler/looter hybrid for the modern age, featuring hand-crafted dungeons, classic JRPG-style combat, and a loot-driven progression system.

Traverse through hand-crafted environments in search of those who hold the power to rewrite fate. As you tackle the game's diverse dungeons, you'll discover clues that will reveal the secrets of this forgotten land.

Collect powerful, randomized gear and build your own style of play! With over 80 pieces of unique loot, there's always something new to try.

Engage in challenging combat that can be approached in many different ways. Find and personalize the build that works for you while you fight exciting enemies and challenging bosses alike!

Fight an undead T-Rex. Befriend a dog. Pet a grackle...?

Ephemeral Tale includes a range of accessibility options, from control schemes (including keyboard, controller, and touch input) as well as colorblind settings and difficulty options, empowering you to play however you decide you want (or need) to.

✔ straight to gameplay ❔ a lot of equipment is thrown at you, which you can constantly change. Items have basic stats as well as some minor unique abilities or a spell (which you can also get from a linear progression "tree"). This is the biggest draw of the game, but during my playtime I haven't encountered anything that would scream or even nudge me to make a build out of it! ❔ you have full control (via options sliders) over enemy power, rate of encounters etc ❔ equipment has durability ✘ no depth in combat (it's nearly impossible to have any in this case since you control only two characters and can equip only one of them anyway) ✘ seems like grind is the endgame here. Even if you have some story goal in mind it's still nearly mindless combat after combat against the same enemies
