Become a total failure in No Truce With The Furies, a story-driven RPG

No Truce With The Furies—an isometric story-driven RPG by Fortress Occident, a debuting Estonian development studio located in Tallinn—has been announced, and it is going to be released (probably) by the end of this year. The game has been in development since October, 2015, and will let us assume the role of a man who is an “almost irreversible, unmitigated failure, both as a human being and an officer of the law” in a “strange and familiar new world”. The title is strongly based on dialogue system, including combat which—although featuring hit rolls, weapons, armor, and the like—is “literature-heavy”. No Truce With The Furies is compact and very personal, because the developers thought this is the best way to introduce themselves to the gaming community, and the opposite of your typical epic RPG.

As mentioned above, No Truce With The Furies’ genre has been dubbed as fantasy realism, which means that the setting and the gameplay mechanics are intended to be rather realistic. The game world is supposed to have been in development for 15 years and is neither “fantasy, alternate history, nor any type of –punk”. The developers also boast having implemented “exactly one hundred and twenty eight times more choice and consequence than previously thought possible in a role playing video game”. While it may sound a bit farfetched, Fortress Occident promise that even the most petty thing the protagonist says will matter.

One of the most interesting features of the game is the so-called Thought Cabinet which is a “thought inventory”. It collects ideas the protagonist has stumbled upon. With time, they evolve into beliefs that can’t be gotten rid of, even should you wish for it.
