You've prevailed upon your enemies, and now the Crown is yours.
Will you prove yourself worthy of it?
You are the last of your kind, the only one with mastery over Aether, the mystical energy that can summon fire and lightning against your foes.
With its long history of conquests, your kingdom is now short on allies.
To the north, your eternal enemies sit in wait, unseen in their snowy forests.
To the south, tribes rebel against your family's rule.
To the west, your only ally refuses to trade in direly needed minerals.
And to the east, seas are quiet, but some suspect that they won’t be so for long…
You will not face these perils alone. To your side sit your advisors whom you can trust with your very life, and to whom you can open your heart.
Your kingdom awaits your decisions. Strengthen your rule by any means necessary, forge new alliances, carve a new path for your realm, or watch it all crumble to dust before your eyes.
The choice, and the kingdom, is yours.
Create and customize your character: male, female, straight, gay, bisexual.
Conciliatory, scheming, humorous; set your personality through your choices, and have the world react to you.This is your kingdom. Set the world state according to your experience in Arcadie: Second-Born. Old choices may come back to haunt you, or reveal pleasant surprises.
Love stands the test of time. Rekindle your romance begun in Arcadie: Second-Born. Rejoin your betrothed; return to your most loyal commander and lover; or allow imprudent feelings for your enemy to take stronger hold.
Travel far and wide across your realm and beyond. Be open and conciliatory, or scheme and poison your adversaries. Convince them of your viewpoint, or raze their cities to the ground.
Immerse yourself in a reactive world and a character-driven tale. Each character has their own motivations and goals, and your relationships will determine much of the story.
Make decisions that will reshape your kingdom for decades to come.
TL;DR: The games full release is delayed to 2026, hopefully May or June, will confirm closer to the release date. As Gabe Newell said, Late is just for a little while, suck is forever, and I think wed all rather it didnt suck.
Arcadie: Cold Lands will unfortunately not release in 2025.
The choice was simple; either do a rush job of it and release something I would not be proud of and disappoint most of you, or keep working at my current pace, and delay the release.
I opted for the latter, and I think most of us can agree that it\'s the better choice.
Im now hoping, and planning for an early 2026 release.
Stay tuned, and see you soon!
Based on your feedback, I\'ve worked to add many accessibility features to the demo:
A Light Theme is now available for those of you who prefer to read dark text on a light background rather than the opposite
[/*]The game now automatically saves on Exit and after every choice
[/*]A \"Resume\" button was added to the main menu; it will load your latest save (either manual or automatic)
[/*]Font choices and font size choices are now available through the Settings menu
[/*]Speaking of menus, the main menu has been revamped
[/*]New buttons have been added to the quick menu: Back, Skip, Auto: to rewind, skip previously read text, and auto-forward the text, respectively; Rewind and Skip can be activated with the mouse/keyboard with the scroll-wheel and the Ctrl/Cmd keys
[/*]The game should now be fully playable with a controller, with the exception of the name input at the start of the game.
