A story of revenge awaits you in Tales of Old: Dominus
Hvmana Industries MMD and indie.io announced that Tales of Old: Dominus will be released on Steam on November 3rd. This dark, gripping story puts players in the shoes of Eric Waldham, a survivor of the brutal Battle of the Bride. Returning to his village only to find it reduced to ash and destroyed by carrion eaters, Eric sets out on a path of revenge in a merciless open world.
The Battle of the Brides marked the violent end of a peasant revolt against the feudal practice of prima nocta, which gave lords the right to demand brides on their wedding night. The uprising, supported by a small number of noble allies, was crushed, leaving few survivors. Eric survived, but Waldham did not, fueling his desire for revenge. Players enter his story as he confronts bandits, establishing a foothold by capturing camps, defeating leaders, and gradually rebuilding the settlement. By gathering resources, crafting, or capturing what they need, players lay the foundations for a growing community under Erik's banner.
As the settlement attracts new residents, the narrative evolves into an expansive main quest that tests leadership, loyalty, and determination. Players can chart Eric's path in a variety of ways: whether he is a seasoned warrior, a stealthy ranger, a cunning rogue, or a skilled craftsman. Precision combat is visceral and merciless, and weapons have real consequences. While stealth and strategy offer an alternative path to dominance. Companions and soldiers play a crucial role in maintaining territory and destroying enemies, making every decision effective.
The game offers unlimited character development, allowing Eric to become whoever he wants. Your choices shape the world, making every journey unique. So, get ready to forge Eric's destiny in a dark and ruthless medieval world.
