✦ Play Virtue's End
Last updated: October the 15th, 2024
In a dark world overrun by monsters from the shadow plane, you exist as a hybrid monster hunter called a helvling, a human whose very soul has been Bound to one such entity. Travelling from warded settlement to warded settlement with your surly human Keeper, Shea, you have the thankless task of defending the common folk against these unimaginable horrors from Hel.
Usually, a fate such as yours is only reserved for the lowest of criminals, as penance for their loathsome deeds... You wouldn’t know if your fate has been deserved, however, since upon completion of your Binding seven years ago, all former memories of your human life have been lost.
You've been moulded into a weapon by the Virtuous Order, trained to be an unfeeling and ruthlessly efficient hunter... But is that who you truly are?
Who are you?
Virtue's End is an interactive dark fantasy horror story set in a gritty, medieval world. It is rated 18+ due to violence, strong language, explicit sexual content, and mature themes. Additionally, the story heavily features religious undertones. A comprehensive list of content warnings is available at the start of the game.
✦ Customise your helvling, including pronouns, gender identity, physical appearance, personality, etc.
✦ Be magickally Bound to one of four different helspawn entities, all of which have their own unique appearance and abilities: the deadly basilisk, the mighty sylvan, the alluring nokken, or the terrifying barghest.
✦ Find your way in a world that treats you with scorn whilst trying to retain what’s left of your humanity—or embrace the monster within.
✦ Build bonds with a variety of characters that you will meet in your travels: your stern-faced Keeper, a compassionate Knight-Templar, an enigmatic Empire agent, or a mysterious Magicker on the run.
✦ Combat terrifying creatures and entities from the distorted shadow plane known as Hel... or negotiate with them.
✦ Uncover clues to the mysterious origins of a world-breaking event known as the Catastrophe, which ushered in an era of darkness hundreds of years ago.
✦ And perhaps finally discover the truth of your forgotten past...
