Arcadian Atlas is a unique, narrative-driven isometric tactical RPG set in Arcadia, a nation tearing itself apart via political factions and treacherous intrigues just as ancient evil forces begin to awaken. With a queen willing to do anything to ascend to the throne, no one is safe.

Strategic, turn-based battles will determine the fate of both the kingdom of Arcadia and its people. Every single action counts: just one wrong move could tear your party and the land itself apart for good.

The stunning pixel art of Arcadian Atlas pairs with a rich story that will push players into tough, emotionally driven choices and send them down an unforgettable path. No one is safe now that the Atlas, a power that can change life in an instant, has been unleashed.

It had been more than a century since the Grey plague devoured the whole continent and turned almost all inhabitants into mindless chimeras, spreading the infection to any remaining survivors who managed to find refuge behind the huge walls of the fortress cities. 

While foraging outside the city walls, you are attacked, and while surviving the fight, you become infected with only a short time to live before the disease takes over. Your only hope is to fight through the hordes of mutants and chimeras and find the cure before it’s too late. With an arsenal of weapons at your disposal, you must survive the infected spawn’s onslaught and master the art of alchemy to craft powerful potions, injections and amalgams to boost your abilities in your search for the cure. 

REMEDIUM Act 1 is out now on PC via Steam Early Access, Epic Games Store for Windows, Mac and Linux. Act 2 will release on November 30 with the final installment launching in early 2024.  Console releases for PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch are planned for 2024.
