Chapter 1: Reditus

The Heremus is a ruined wasteland created after the fall of Corydon Deus. At its heart lies Vehere—a city of ashes, guarded by a Reditus machine that turns intruders into slaves. As Augustus, you will push deeper into this forbidden wasteland, uncovering ancient secrets, meeting unforgettable characters, and deciding the fate of a world that refuses to stay dead. Every ruin hides secrets. Every shadow hides a threat. Every decision could be the last .
