Resident Evil
In a world where humanity’s own laboratories have become dungeons, corporations and governments wage a silent war over engineered horrors that blur the line between science and sorcery, while ordinary citizens live under the constant threat of invisible outbreaks and surveillance. Players step into the shadows of this fractured Earth, becoming operatives, scientists, or survivors whose choices ripple through a global network of bio‑weapon conspiracies, reshaping public perception and the very evolution of what it means to be human.
The Hollow
Humanity survives in the buried bones of civilization while the ARC—custodial machines of a post-human world—sweep the surface above, erasing patterns and correcting deviations. But the ARC are changing, their behavior drifting toward something new, and the converted humans returning from topside aren't victims—they're infrastructure for whatever comes next.
Assassin's Creed
In a world where the ordinary hum of city life masks a hidden war, Assassins and Templars wage silent battles over ancient Isu artifacts, manipulating history, faith, and economics to preserve or enforce order. Every street, market, and monastery is a chessboard, and the true drama unfolds not in grand battles but in whispered conspiracies, subtle shifts of power, and the quiet resistance of ordinary people who unknowingly shape destiny.
Elarion, Shattered Veil
Elarion, Shattered Veil, is a world torn asunder by a failed ascension, where floating continents, glowing mana storms, and fractured ley lines clash in a fragile dance of rebirth and ruin, while cities hover on islands of stabilized magic and wastelands of crystal whisper the secrets of lost gods. In this realm of mystical decay, the Valdareth Dominion, Ar’Vyris Isles, and the Verdant Scar vie for control of the shattered Weave, as nomadic Echo Cores drift across glass dunes, and silent monks guard ancient relics beneath ice, all while a creeping Silent Blight threatens to silence the very soul of the land.
Aurelion
Aurelion throbs with ancient leyline storms, as dormant Dominion relics ignite and planar anomalies ripple across its diverse realms—from the moonlit forests of Valenwyr to the volcanic heart of Tharok Ironcrest—while rival courts, guilds, and shadowy cults vie for control of the awakening magic. In this late‑medieval high‑fantasy tapestry, every spell feels like a heartbeat, and the fragile borders between worlds threaten to tear, promising heroes, horrors, and a destiny that could reshape reality itself.
