ASTRAELUS

ASTRAELUS is an original concept for a fantasy/cosmic horror open world video game intended for mature audiences.

A thriving society of unrestrained magic, powers sourced from gods of the sun, moon, and stars, controlled by the power-hungry. The Solstice Triumvirate was a cult bent on dictating the use of their blessed magic. Under the rule of the Radiant Luminary, they formed a plan to capture a piece of the gods and place it within a vessel, bringing forth a new age.

The story follows Seraphina, girl touched by the stars. The cult tears her apart, merges her with a supernova, and stitches her back together. Still, the ritual does not succeed and instead explodes with a destructive wormhole to the future. Seraphina survives by the remnants of star-energy in her chest. The rest of the world is left in her wake: citizens dead, turned to horrors, or gone insane. The Triumvirate re-establishes themselves among the rubble, having prophesied Seraphina’s return. She is left to navigate the destroyed version of her home, haunted by her past and pursuing both her developing identity and a hopeful future for survivors.
