About

Humanity hides from the Monstrae in scattered hamlets, but someone still has to carry the mail between them. You've been picked as a Seelie, the courier caste tasked with linking those hidden villages and tracking down whatever's left of the people who vanish along the way.

Gothspell is home, but home was never enough for you, and the job finally gives you a reason to see the rest of the world, monsters included.

Play consists of wandering between regions, running errands, and stumbling into turn-based fights with the Monstrae and their kin, some of whom are far more interested in you than in fighting fair. Progress gets logged in a growing journal, complete with an achievement list for anyone who wants to track how much of the world, and how many of its inhabitants, they've actually seen.
