Until You Fall Story
In the game you’ll jump into a time period where the city of Rokar has fallen. Once a civilization fueled by a magical power called Aether, the Rokari have been destroyed by a Calamity of unknown origins. Now, monsters and twisted spirits wander these crystallized ruins.
As the last remaining Rune Knight, you alone can fight back these horrors. With the help of a mysterious Runesmith, you will forge the weapons needed to complete your campaign.
You will have to put your sword fighting skills to the test as you use both magic and melee to fight twisted enemies in an unforgiving environment. Every time you die you will start over stronger with weapons you can permanently upgrade.
Release date
Until You Fall is set to release on August 27th as an Early Access title on Steam. Make sure to check out the next big title from Schell Games.
