Veilkeeper

About the Game

Veilkeeper is a tactical RPG about pushing into unstable worlds where distance is dangerous and every expedition costs you something.

Lead small squads into fractured realms while holding a fragile connection back to your shard. The deeper you push, the more you risk losing - units, resources, and the path home. Every step forward is a step further from safety.

The army that reaches the end is never the army that set out.

In the Current Build

• Turn-based grid combat where positioning, facing, and unit matchups decide fights

• Four distinct archetypes - Knight, Archer, Assassin, Mauler - with real tradeoffs, not stat tiers

• Damage previewed before you commit, so every loss is a decision you made

• A three-fight run where your squad shrinks between battles and you choose who stays behind

Where It's Going

Veilkeeper is in active development. The combat layer above is the foundation; these systems build outward from it:

• Persistent squads that carry wounds and experience between expeditions

• A home shard you build, upgrade, and return to

• Relay networks that determine how far you can safely push into a rift

• Stream integration - viewers entering the world as characters, enemies, and events

Push deeper. Hold the line. Build something worth returning to.
