What it is about

Mount Baram groaned and shattered, birthing unfathomable tunnels spiraling deep into the unknown. From the abyss, shadows emerged. Countless hordes of monstrous fire-spitting creatures laid waste to all in their path, reducing the realm that lay at the foot of the mountain to ashes. The remaining kingdoms now stand as mere shadows of their past selves. You are one of the remnants . The Sisters of the Eclipse found your lifeless body, and brought you back. Waking up among the debris of the cataclysm, changed and indebted, you have turned to scouring the endless pits for the treasures and stories buried deep within. Commoners plead for your help in finding missing heritage and mementos, and guilds offer rewards for locating lost wealth and gold. Even queens require your services and task you with finding rare folk tale artifacts like the Burned Stones of old. Despite everything, you press on. The past is lost, the future uncertain, but your skills remain. — Tales of the Burned Stones is a free and solo-friendly dark-fantasy role-playing game of journeying and dungeon delving. In this game inspired by Diablo, The Witcher, and The Warded Man, players assume the roles of raiders and treasure hunters who are brave and foolish enough to delve into the derelict kingdom, located next to the demonic-controlled lands of Mount Baram, in search of stories, mementos, wealth, and lost artifacts.
