Sacred Fire is a new introspective role-playing game. You’re a survivor on the run from Rome, your mind filled with fear and rage. Control your emotions, outsmart your opponents and win over volatile allies. Can you rise as a leader and escape a tragic fate? This time, every choice counts.
The game emulates the core of a pen & paper session experience, letting the players use their wit to increase their chances before the next dice-roll.
The game doesn’t rely on random chance alone, as the players have a limited resource pool, the willpower of their characters, that they can use to influence the outcome of dice-rolls that matter the most to them, which adds another layer of strategy and choice-making to the game.
Over the course of the game, choices big and small shape your personality and strengthen or weaken your ability to change the story and avert a tragic ending, as it’s your very own heart that hides all the monsters.
- CREATE Create the body and mind of your own hero. Will you be brave, vengeful or gifted but traumatized? Customize your appearance and traits that will determine your playstyle.
- ROLE-PLAY Enjoy the freedom of choice and interpretation to tell your own story. Track your progress through a nuanced story with no filler events, full of opportunities to use your wits to triumph.
- FIGHT Use psychological tactics in battles. Overcome fear, pain and anger to perform at your peak. Show skill, lethal determination or total control to unnerve your opponent.
- STRATEGIZE Resort to diplomacy in relationships to rise as a leader, gain allies and resolve conflicts peacefully. Compete with other story characters for respect, renown, wealth and followers.
- DEVELOP Expand your mind and overcome beliefs holding you back. Unlock motives, weakness and secrets of others. Will you use them to build or to destroy?
- EXPLORE Each of the three acts comes with real story branching. Playing as a male or female offers fresh surprises. Can you reach all 5 distinct endings and gain all 8 major achievements?
