Beyond the Veil

Beyond the Veil is a role-playing and top-down shooter hybrid set in a dark fantasy world shaped by loss and grief. You play as the Wanderer, travelling through ancient lands to awaken sleeping gods and drive corruption from the earth. You must fight to survive and scavenge resources as you explore.

Story and world

The world is harsh, with tumbled ruins beneath searing suns and battles against people, beasts and nightmares. You uncover what happened to the gods and why you are here, and meet people in the wasteland who can help you and share their stories. The Necromancer asks you to recover what was taken from them, promising to help restore what you have lost.

Explore the kingdoms

You explore the secrets of the gods’ five kingdoms through procedurally generated maps. Each playthrough offers different advantages and challenges. Dynamic weather, from rain and fog to lightning storms and hurricanes, can disrupt your plans.

Develop your character

You shape your character by completing trials to increase stats or gain powerful passive abilities. Weapons, accessories and inscriptions provide different ways to prepare for combat.

Fight to survive

Combat takes place in real time against hordes of enemies. You use weapons, skills and the environment to your advantage, with movement and awareness key to survival. When a fight becomes too difficult, fleeing is an option.
