Elden: Path of the Forgotten

About this game

We heard your feedback and we've been working for more than a year on this huge overhaul of our mechanics.

• Twice as many weapons.
  
• Cooldown based status effect Runes.

• Improved levels.
  
• New / Improved enemies.
  
• Translated world text (Region names, Items, Actions).

And much more. Elden: Path of the Forgotten Director's Cut touches every element of the game.




Elden: Path of the Forgotten follows Elden’s journey as they are thrust into a dark and dying world that they must survive. The story is inspired by my experiences leaving home at age of 15 and being thrust into a dark world that scared and confused me.

Guide Elden on a mission across a blighted land to save their mother from ancient horrors. Engage in brutal, technical combat and master eldritch magics as you walk the Forgotten Path. Elden explores non-traditional storytelling through indirect methods – like reading an illustrated book in a language you don’t understand. The combat is based on reaction rather than action. Strategically, you will need to manage your stamina and position in order to master the art of parry or to find the perfect time to strike. Visually inspired by classic 16 and 8 bit games, Elden: Path of the Forgotten is a stunning, encapsulating, dark world waiting to be explored.



FEATURES

• Figure out Elden’s confusing world without guidance, tutorials, or support.
  
• Many diverse and challenging regions.
  
• Horrifying Lovecraftian enemies and bosses.
  
• Unique and brutal weapons and spells.
  
• Powerful and dynamic items.

  Elden 2021 Update Log #1

  Hello Onerat Dylan here, developer of Elden of the Forgotten. Creating a game is a hard thing to do, let alone making one solo. I personally burnt out during the development cycle and didn't deliver the product I was hoping to create. I’ve seen the Lets Plays and read the reviews and I understand your misgivings with the current game. To that end, I've been working on what at this point can only be described as an overhaul. Every element of the game is getting the attention it deserves. Here I've listed some of the major changes I've implemented so far. Note that this is in no way a complete change log for the Elden Path of the Forgotten overhaul. Iv been slack with posting development updates to Steam, but with this announcement that is something I plan on changing. Keep an eye out for future announcements and forum posts detailing the coming overhauled version of Elden: Path of the Forgotten. If you have any suggestions or feedback with this overhaul in mind, I'm always happy to listen. You easily reach me at discord.gg/oneratgames. Current major change log: Updated to Unity 2019.4 - Better performance New story beats in each region Expanding Hub region with new zone More variation to zones Increased player speed New tentacle spell sound effects Reworked camera shake (disabled camera shake when the player deals damage to enemies, replaced with a time slow effect. Camera shake only happens when the player takes damage or for large world events. Camera shake motion was also completely reworked.) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32379354/f9f0c3465c1435da1cae556b26b7b6f98ab080d5.gif Reworked melee hit collisions Added new enemy - The lurker {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32379354/0cddd59d3816c877f61fbd51433a1308708f3992.gif Added direction change animation for wide enemies Improved lighting Improved enemy navigation Added Interaction log Added Item trading {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32379354/e01a652ac04b5414f04d713cb3fa87039928b427.gif Reworked HUD Reworked dragon enemy {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32379354/ab1...
