About

Valderborn.

Features
Read full description

Valderborn is an interactive story set in a volcanic world. You play as Vey, a child born in the village of Greyfoot at the foot of a restless volcano called the Varn. The mountain hums. The village worries. And Vey is the only one who hears both sides. Every chapter presents choices that shift the trust between the village and the mountain. Your decisions shape which of five endings the tale reaches β€” including one hidden ending that only unlocks when certain conditions are met across the whole story. The tale is divided into a prologue and four chapters. As you read, you earn cinders β€” a currency that lets you ask the mountain for hints at difficult forks, rewind the story to earlier choices, or change how the pages look with different reading themes called glazes. Once a day you can visit the Brazier and tend the coals. Come back daily, and the reward grows with your streak. The Chronicle shows your path through the story as a cross-section of the volcano. You can see which chapters are done, which forks you took, and which endings you have found so far. If you want to go back and choose differently, the Chronicle lets you do that too. The Shardworks is a mosaic wall. Each shard represents a deed β€” finishing the prologue, finding a secret line, reaching an ending. Ten shards in total. Unlock them all to complete the mural. The Cave of Whispers keeps everything the mountain has told you. It also holds the secret lines you have discovered and a small shop where you can spend cinders on glazes to change the look of the story panels. The story can be replayed from the beginning at any time to explore different paths and find the endings you have not yet seen.
