This is a game I have been working on for a few months now. I've been collaborating with someone on the story, and a few of my friends have helped me bug test, so I guess I have a bit of a small team going.

*Most of the original premise was written by my friend. It's apparently somewhat based on the Diablo series. I've never played Diablo, so I don't really know how much is based on it.*
The setting is present day Earth. Humankind has forgotten the existance of magic, but it is still praciced in widespread underground communities. In fact, much of the Earth's history was shaped by magic, unbeknownst to the common folk. One of the oldest races of magic-users, the Horadrim, has nearly died out. Only one remains to wander the Earth. Lately, many prophets have been forseeing a terrible cataclysm. The Gates of Hell will be unlocked by a special key. The Skeleton Key, one of the 42 Keys of Immortality, has the ability to unlock anything. The Horadric Wanderer has taken it upon himself to gather powerful warriors in order to stop this outcome.

The game is pretty much a straight-forward rpg. I'm using a side-view battle system with customized summoning skills and black and white magic. For the game, I wanted a heavy emphasis on the story. I didn't want the whole "designated hero/heroine/sidekick". I wanted it to feel like every character was just as important as the others. I want the player to be able to explore their backstories if they choose to.
