Description:
Take on the role of a small animal that must set out on an epic saga to locate the ancient spirit of a lost hero. Save your home from hordes of attacking Vermin, or succumb to evil and command them all!
When a prophecy by an eccentric squirrel bard upends your plans for a life of quiet monkhood, you and your companions must travel through haunted bogs, magical gardens of temptation, and across perilous seas full of beasts of myth in order to save–or conquer–the kingdom!
This setting is loosely based around a fantastical Medieval level of technology and is in homage to childhood classics like the Redwall Series by Brian Jacques, The Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O’Brien, and the works of Beatrix Potter.
Current Features:
-Choose between playing a mouse, vole, dormouse, chipmunk, gray squirrel, and even a rat–you Vermin, you!
-Play as male, female, or nonbinary
-A PG-rating; fun for the whole family!
-Friend and romance options with gender choices
