Welcome to Saint Orsolya
Unrung is a dark gothic action RPG about a valley whose bells have fallen silent. Here is what it is, who you play, and where it stands today.
The bells of Saint Orsolya have fallen silent, and the dead walk.
Unrung is a dark gothic action RPG in the old isometric tradition: a hero, a horde, and a valley that gets worse the further you go from the last lit town. This is its home on the web, and from here on it is where news, patch notes and new gameplay will land first.
What you do
You choose a hero and leave the town of Saint Orsolya by its one open gate. Out there are the Blighted Fields, where the dead were buried and do not rest; the Bleeding Mire, an old city drowned and still haunted; crypts and gaols that are dug anew every time you go down; and a pilgrim road where candles still burn for pilgrims who will never come.
The fighting is fast and close. Packs swarm, elites wind up their worst blows and mark the ground before they land, and every one of those blows can be dodged if you are watching. When you are not, you die, and you rise again in town poorer than you left it.
Who you play
- The Knight, a sworn sword of the fallen cathedral, who wades into the horde and drinks the blood he spills.
- The Mage, who read the forbidden shelf and burns, freezes and tears at the dead from a distance.
- The Plague Doctor, who stayed when the sickness came and lets poison, fire and rats do the work.
- The Witch Hunter, with silver bolts, iron traps and a vigil bell that marks the damned.
Each has three skill branches with keystones that change how skills behave, and modifiers to bend your favourites further.
Where it stands
Unrung is in active development by Ashvale Games, a small independent studio. Act I is playable from the first gate to its last boss, with the Endless Descent beneath the town for those who want to see how deep the stair goes. The Steam page and a free demo are next.
If you want a look at a whole boss fight, here is one. It shows a boss from Act I, so it stays folded until you open it.
