About this game
In a world ravaged by wars and plague, a nameless hero arises. You are summoned by Death itself to uncover and fight the darkness lurking in the Deep. Are you strong enough to withstand the corruption and bring hope to the hopeless?
Esantirion: Secret of the Deep takes you on a challenging yet fulfilling path toward the light in this single-player, third-person, action adventure with RPG elements. Immerse yourself in a game dripping with rich atmosphere at every turn.
Weary and battered yet unwavering in resolve, you repeatedly dive into the perilous depths, confronting hordes and navigating the extensive, hazardous terrain in search of precious and scarce resources and, most critically, answers.
After each expedition, you return to a settlement where peace still resides. This is your base camp, serving as a refuge from the oppressive darkness and carnage below – a place to build, and enhance your abilities throughout your entire journey. Take a welcomed break to progress – level up your attributes, upgrade your equipment, and learn what you can while uncovering the tangled web of interlinked faiths, opinions, and ideals.
Then, pick up your sword again and strike at the evil possessing the very roots of the land.
You possess the greatest power of them all – the ability to inspire hope, or take it away. Such an ability can't be underestimated and will play a significant role in your adventure. Be mindful of your actions, others are counting on you.
You'll risk everything while gathering the resources for your adventure, so use them wisely – craft, smelt, trade, upgrade, repair, learn new combat techniques, and discover a variety of spells and blessings. Thoroughness is crucial for your success.
Combine the physical might of a sword in melee combat with the powerful impact of defensive and offensive spells to challenge any enemy you encounter. Strategize, take control of the battlefield, and deliver decisive blows on the journey toward the light.
Bring light to the darkness, shine through the pitch-black Deep, and cleanse the corruption brought upon by unknown horrors and the wills of the gods. Tread carefully, and may your prayers illuminate the dangerous path to salvation.
Your memory is shrouded in fog – you have no idea who you are or what transpired in your past. However, the place you're returning to holds the keys, offering snippets that will guide you to the truth – if you're strong enough to face it.
