You may have noticed that we missed our monthly update in October. We were hoping to have our next update be a big one, and unfortunately we were not ready to announce. But we've made it in just the nick of time. So here goes: The first four chapters of Quartet are now available in an alpha build. If you are a backer, you can play them right now! For instructions on how to play the first four character chapters, please view our Backer-only post over on Kickstarter (If you are not a Kickstarter backer, you can still play the public Quartet demo on Steam) Each chapter is an introduction to two characters. In Cordelias chapter, she is wrongfully implicated by a political scandal, and loses her position in the government. She decides to go out westwell, technically eastand lay down the law. Taking the mantle of sheriff, she tries to make a name for herself so that she can return to the capital in undeniable triumph. She happens upon Jerome, and then things take a very unexpected turn for the worse.


In Bens chapter, he suddenly acquires magical powers, relatively late in life. Cool, right? Well, not if you accidentally blow up the restaurant you work at. Then youre gonna be hard to employ, and rent is still due on the first of the month. A few people are willing to pay for his magical services. One of them is Agata, a Phylaka, whose job it is to monitor mages in Bens hometown. Slowly, we learn more about Agata and Ben, and what his powers might mean for his future.


In Nikolais chapter, he has just been promoted to staff sergeant, and placed in command of a squad of the glorious Seventh Border Guards. After roaming the wilds in pursuit of a barbarian raider, he watches as war breaks out between his country and their powerful neighbor. This shakes up his life, as wars often do. Soon, he and his squad find themselves ordered to perform highly questionable tasks in the subjugated city of Stral.


In Alexandras chapter, a personal tragedy leaves her family hurtingand her family business hurting even worse. Struggling to pay her bills, she turns to her brother Alvin, a small-time gangster. This decision plunges her into far more trouble than she imagined, when suddenly she is being pursued by other criminals, the police, and even a mysterious ghost. Is she simply destined for sorrow and stress? Or does the mysterious deck of magical cards she found hold the key to her future?
