(http://puu.sh/6R8SU.jpg)Hey guys, we want to present you our game "Council of Torment". (http://puu.sh/6R8SU.jpg)


What is Council of Torment? (http://puu.sh/6Rasz.png)
Council of Torment is a story-driven role-playing game developed by two passionate independent developers. You play as a mysterious wizard's apprentice during a continental civil war for freedom. Craft, explore, fight, there are no limits in Council of Torment. We try to find a balance between gameplay mechanics, intense storyline, special effects and warm artwork.

Nice! It's clear you've already put a lot of work into the project and it shows. Very cool that you also have basic network multiplayer already working!

From Octav:
The story is the richest element in our game. I plan on writing a book about it later on, after the game is done, it's difficult to sum up because it's simply so rich, but it's about a civil war in the fictional world of Erden. You step into the boots of a wizard's apprentice, unknown to this world and you begin uncovering a strange dark plot that goes back many years in the past, to the very roots of civilization. The story is full of beautifully designed characters, it's a game of beauty and grotesque, we show the player a beautiful village which they get attached to, only to see it burn to the ground in the next scene. It's a rich world and we're only getting started on it.
