GreedFall: The Dying World

GreedFall: The Dying World is a narrative-driven RPG set in a vast fantasy world inspired by 17th-century Europe. You create a character by choosing their appearance, attributes, talents and abilities, then shape the story through decisions that affect events, alliances and the fate of the world. You can overcome challenges through combat, diplomacy, crafting equipment, finding hidden treasures, or using tricks and disguises to enter forbidden places.

The continent of Gacane

The story begins three years before the events of the first title, far beyond the city of Sérène. You come from Teer Fradee, a small island rich in magic and nature. After completing your initiation to become a Doneigad, a sage who serves the clan, you are captured by renaigsa from the Old Continent, who threaten your people with extermination.

After escaping, you travel across the Old Continent, where powerful nations face war and a mysterious disease. You can visit Olima, the City of Stars, and its scientific observatory; sail to Uxantis, the Nauts’ port capital; and travel the perilous roads of Thynea, which are lined with ancient ruins. During the adventure, you acquire the sturdy ship Constanzia, which becomes your headquarters.

Recruit companions

You meet 8 companions, each with their own story, beliefs and secrets. You can choose their equipment, outfits, attributes and combat specialities, and either use their support in battle or control them directly. Their knowledge of the continent’s factions and influence with them can also open doors.

Your decisions affect how your companions regard you and the strength of your bonds. You can form friendships or find love, but your actions can also weaken a bond or cause a companion to leave.

Shape your combat

Combat against hostile people and creatures includes a tactical pause, letting you plan actions, exploit enemy weaknesses and adjust your strategy. You can also use your skills in battle for a more direct approach. Three combat profiles let you choose how to control your party: Tactical gives you full control of the camera and companions; Focused centres on your character while companions act independently; and Hybrid offers a middle ground.

Choose your difficulty

Additional configuration options let you tailor the adventure, from Story mode, which focuses on the narrative, to Tactician mode, which offers a greater challenge.
