ASTRAELUS

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

In a thriving society of magic, powers sourced from gods of the sun, moon, and stars are controlled by the power-hungry. The Solstice Triumvirate was a cult bent on dictating the use of their blessed magic. Under the rule of their 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, a 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 horrific creatures, 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, pursuing both her developing identity and a hopeful future for survivors
