Ways of Time

Time has its own ways …

You wake up in your small room – an ordinary morning, or so it seems. But beyond the village, something is stirring: guards fail to return, an ancient Titan awakens in forgotten ruins, and shadows reach out over the land from the distant Shadow Castle.

Ways of Time is a handcrafted pixel RPG with real-time combat, a mysterious story and a living world full of things to discover – alone or together with friends.
