A mysterious mist spreads from the Castle of N'Mar. The Empire sent an army to investigate, but it was destroyed. You assume the role of the Envoy, secretly serving the Grimoire Council, and must assemble a small strike team to investigate what is happening, and put a stop to whatever evil is lurking in the Caste of N'Mar. With the help of Karen, Queen of the Amazons, you'll need to recruit a team of people, united by a common goal, from all corners of Aravorn. The game plays like a RPG with an innovative social talent system that lets you take advantage of your enemies personalities. You can bluff, intimidate, coerce and even get a cease fire during some battles. Killing all enemies is no longer the only option at your disposal. Four bisexual romance options (Nuala the nomad, Vaeril the fallen druid, Sylrissa and Enok the nagas), one lesbian romance (Leena the amazon) and one homosexual (Jasper the pirate). For the first time in any Winter Wolves game, you can romance more than one love interest. Of course, be ready to face any possible consequences! Another innovation is that after you choose your final love interest, you'll also get two more bonus scenes with relative pin-up CG as couple.

IN THE NEWS “A full-on RPG, complete with character progression, inventory management, and NPC interactions ... The character development and combat systems find that sweet spot between being too simplistic to matter and becoming a bloated distraction.” – Gamespace.com “Untold is a really solid and convenient package. It delivers feelings of grand adventure while allowing you to experiment and explore, and it does this pretty much all through text. It may not satisfy folks looking for a flashier, more action-packed experience, but Untold's restraint is exactly what makes it so impressive and refreshing.” – 148apps.com JOIN THE COMMUNITY https://discord.eldrum.com
