Swordhaven is an old-school cRPG inspired by classics such as Baldur's Gate, Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura and Gothic, combining modern quality-of-life features with a strong focus on player freedom, complex roleplaying, and a deep, lore-rich story set in a low-magic world reminiscent of 17th-century Earth.

Shipbound and travelling to Nova Drakonia, a mysterious, dinosaur-infested frontier of the Empire, you soon find your journey is anything but ordinary. A chance encounter with a fellow passenger entrusts you with a mysterious, possibly arcane artefact, gradually turning your mundane voyage into an exploration of your world's hidden past and leading you towards decisions that may shape its future.

Swordhaven's setting is crafted with meticulous attention to detail and realism, weaving a rich tapestry of lore that gives the world a truly lived-in feel.
From the sprawling politics of the colonisation-driven Empire to the local rivalries of nobles, clergy, and restless natives; from centuries of forgotten history to intricate religions and cults; from unique cultures to elusive races long thought to be myth; and from otherworldly plots to secrets yet undiscovered... everything awaits you, if you choose to seek it.

What makes Swordhaven unique, beyond its world-building, are the systems we've honed over ten years of indie RPG development.
