Bound in Elysium

*Bound in Elysium is an early prototype currently in active development. Expect unfinished content, placeholder assets, bugs and substantial changes between versions.*

A turn-based adult RPG.

Explore a colorful fantasy overworld, take contracts from the tavern and venture into enemy territory in search of gold, equipment and experience.

Every monster girl has her own personality, attack patterns and combat gimmicks. They won’t simply reduce your health—they can grapple you, cloud your senses, steal resources, obscure the battlefield and interfere with your commands.

Learn how each enemy fights, survive reaction-based QTEs and build your character before their tricks overwhelm you.

Current features

•  Eight unique enemies, each with distinct artwork, dialogue, animations and mechanics

•  Turn-based combat with timed attacks and reaction-based QTEs

•  Animated grapples, holds and defeat sequences

•  Disruptive enemy abilities that obscure the screen, manipulate your choices and drain resources

•  One handed controls

Planned features

• More enemies, regions and quest chains
• A proper central story and major prototype boss
• Deeper equipment builds and additional combat skills
• More elaborate enemy patterns and battle mechanics
• Expanded grapple and defeat content
• Improved artwork, animation, dialogue and interface
• Further balancing and progression improvements
