Celestian Tales: Realms Beyond

 

Players old and new can immerse themselves in indie RPG Celestian Tales: Realms Beyond when it hits Steam, GOG, and Humble on May 7, 2020.

Realms Beyond combines turn-based tactical combat with a story of questionable morals seen through multiple points of view. It is a complex tale of human interactions where deception, intrigue, and betrayal stand side-by-side with loyalty, friendship, and personal growth.

Inspired by classic JRPGs, the story takes place in a hand-drawn pixel-art world, where six Companions – knights sworn to serve and protect the heir of a noble house – struggle to survive in a world where their true enemies are often their closest allies.

Celestian Tales: Realms Beyond is a standalone game designed to accommodate new players to the world of Celestian Tales. Players of Celestian Tales: Old North can elect to start ‘fresh’ or let the game read your end save and alter the game’s world based on the choices you’ve previously made.
