To answer the ‘ARPG’ first:

Rooted in the classic RPG experiences we all cherish, we've reimagined the formula with a fresh, dynamic vector-based combat system. Combine this with innovative magic mechanics and uniquely challenging monsters, and it opens the door to the kind of emergent gameplay that keeps every battle thrilling and unforgettable. A lot of the old, with a little of the new.

On the 4X side of gameplay:

For years, strategy RPGs came close — but never quite reached the depth we knew was possible. So we’ve reimagined the explore, exploit, expand, and exterminate formula, bringing a new level of strategic depth to the role-playing genre.

Take command of your kingdoms, townships, armies, and navies with deep customization and expansion options. Uncover valuable resources, grow your influence through diplomacy, trade, and internal economics — or seize power through warfare. This freedom, layered around our multi-narrative ARPG, offers players endless reasons to return and reshape their world with each playthrough.

The core philosophy behind our combat system is to build upon the classic gameplay you'd expect from an ARPG while introducing a new layer of depth. Players can strike in various directions, combinations, and patterns, while also countering, blocking, and defending — adding meaningful engagement to every encounter without sacrificing the familiar mechanics that define the genre. Think of it as drawing inspiration from rhythm-based gameplay — not in the sense of following beats, but in how timing, precision, and responsiveness elevate player actions. While some elements of this approach have existed in RPGs for decades, we're evolving it into a modern, fluid system that fully supports diverse character classes and playstyles.

Yes! While we’re keeping narrative details under wraps to protect the experience — if you choose to, you’ll be able to replay the game, carrying forward your equipment and select valuable items. Every choice is designed to leave you wondering, 'What if?', encouraging new paths with each optional playthrough.

We’re passionate about recreating the magic of gathering with friends to play local co-op, just like we experienced with classic RPGs. While we’re actively designing our systems to support this, we’re not yet in a position to fully guarantee our hopes for local or remote co-op at this stage. However, based on available time and budget, our goal is to bring this feature to all platforms — alongside an innovative system that rewards players with unique items and or currencies they can carry into their own worlds as a reward. We firmly believe that cooperative, social gameplay remains one of the most exciting and meaningful aspects of game development, and we will seek it at any opportunity.

Yes. Player decisions will influence:

• Faction relations
• Companion loyalty and/or disloyalty
• Multiple endings
• Open and hidden questlines

Players can build upon characters with:

• Multiple cultures & classes
• Skill trees and subclasses
• Socio-moral alignment choices
• Political and personal reputation systems
• Crafting and equipment customization

Absolutely — crafting is a core feature we're deeply passionate about. We've designed a system that strikes a balance between accessibility and depth, allowing players to easily engage while offering layers of complexity for those who want to dive in. Our approach focuses on more than just simple item creation; it's about discovering rare components, refining unique materials from hard-to-reach locations, and assembling truly meaningful, customized gear. Personalization plays a huge role, giving every player the chance to craft items that feel entirely their own. We'll be sharing more details and videos on this system in the near future — it's a major part of the experience, and we're confident you're going to love it.

Our current estimated time-to-launch is mid-2028.

The initial release is targeted for PC, with possible expansions to consoles based on community demand.

Yes — we plan to enter early access to collect player feedback and iterate on systems before full release.

We are committed to building games that are as inclusive and accessible as possible and welcome feedback from the community.

Yes — but don’t worry, the first installment will deliver a complete and fully self-contained experience. Through our innovative action combat system and strategic 4X design, we aim to establish the 'Zeal-like' vision as a strong foundation, with the potential to evolve and grow far into the future.

Depending on demand, the story has been carefully designed to expand into a complete trilogy — one main game followed by two additional installments, each raising the stakes and revealing new layers of The Universe of Destrado, delivering answers to the mysteries and unknowns woven into the IP.

Again, depending on demand, we are designing our development pipeline with a clear focus on streamlining future content creation. Our goal is to strike the perfect balance — increasing quality while delivering new games and expansions more quickly and efficiently for our players.

The world-building for this story began in the late 1990s and has evolved through countless storytelling adventures ever since. With this deep foundation — an iceberg of past, present, and even future narrative threads — we’ve crafted a truly unique experience, designed to enrich and elevate the gameplay of a dynamic and engaging 4X-ARPG. This is a story decades in the making.

Over our development, we will show you pieces of just how deep this iceberg or rabbit hole can go. Welcome to our Rabbitberg, yes, we chose that name over the alternative. :)

Scattered throughout the world lie ancient beings of unimaginable power, guarding fragments of the future. Only the most daring, those with nothing left to lose, may uncover their secrets. But know this — failure carries a heavy price. Challenge them at your own peril.
