The Eld Riche was torn asunder by the Calamity. From the Inbetween came unspeakable horrors, and people drew back into the Burghs for safety.
Thaumaturges, a caste of powerful magick users, saved us by creating the Reverie. But it had a Hunger of its own. Blessed be the Dreamweavers, through their sacrifice, we subsist.
Now the Reverie is failing. Voidborne are pushing through. Ganda, your hometown, is in trouble.
The Land Shackles are the gigantic metal chain system that is holding the old Burghs of the Eld Riche together. It goes right through the Inbetween and only a Gunslinger has any chance of making it through alive and reaching Broucksele, where salvation lies.
You are Folke, Gunslinger in training. After your mentor went missing in the Inbetween six months ago, that leaves you as your people's last hope. But you have taken the Oath. So the people of Ganda are now yours to protect.
With an ever-sleeping Dreamweaver as your only company, you must go into the Inbetween and bring back salvation.
Sanity is your most precious resource. Protect it from monsters so you can spend it on magic. Risk and reward, Gunslinger. Make sure it doesn't drop too low. And remember, don't believe everything you see.
Heavy movement, limited ammo, monsters that attack your body and your mind. Combat and movement is grounded, so you'll need to learn the rhythms to make it through. And if you were to fall, well… Blessed be the Dreamweavers.
Look out for Conclave cards, scattered across the Broken Lands of the Eld Riche. By collecting them, you can unlock up to sixteen arcanicks: from transmuting bullets into igneous spheres and deceiving enemies with temporary illusions to rapid regeneration of wounds. But remember, dipping into the arcane taxes your sanity.
As a gunslinger, you are trained to shoot with your Eye. Aim 360° around you to score critical hits and take out opponents quicker. And if you run out of bullets, you can always turn to your trusty whip.
Unlock and equip different arcanicks. Customize your revolver with different components. Experiment to see which loadout gives you the best chance to survive!
