Aderyn’s Cradle ("Cradle" for short) is the next step in fantasy first-person RPG gameplay. You are the Oracle, the last link to a long-lost god. Your adventure through the Cradle will force you to grapple the polarizing forces of the Holy Trifecta: humanity, nature and the gods. Throughout your journey, you will uncover the history of Aderyn’s Cradle piece by piece through completing quests and puzzles, fighting anomalies, and exploring the natural world and intricate ruins of the Aderian civilization. To complete your mission, you must harness the power of the five forces through Mana, the lifeblood of Anora, in order to perform powerful magic. Along the way, you will fight the corrupted creatures who would use these same forces against you. Together with the Guides, you will ultimately bring Aderyn’s Cradle back to Anora and restore balance to the lost land.
Cradle will immerse you in smooth, realistic, intuitive combat, so that progression through our intellectually rich and emotionally resonant narrative campaign is as exciting as can be. We don’t just want you to buy our game; we want you enjoy it enough to play from start to finish, and again, and again, until you’ve experienced every piece of the lore, the environment, and their rewards.
This project is an ambitious one for an independent studio with no large backers. Despite that, we won’t cut any corners, nor settle for a minimum viable product. Our goal, In short, is to bring you the very best of everything, from visuals and mechanics to story and sound. We are a company made for gamers, by gamers. With Cradle, we aim not just to create something fun, but to drive the medium of videogames forward as an art form. We hope you’ll share our vision!

Aderyn’s Cradle is a first-person action/adventure role playing game (RPG) with a unique combat system. There will be six weapons available for each of the five character classes, and each weapon has a unique set of attacks. This grants each class a well-rounded strategic toolbox to set up a multitude of combos and fighting styles suited for the player’s chosen character class. A large variety of possible battlefield scenarios exist in Cradle. An intuitive, yet intricate aiming/blocking/parrying system prevents fighting from becoming monotonous and repetitive, even allowing the player to throw fakes like a true duelist.
