It Stares Back

It Stares Back is a dark-fantasy real-time strategy game with RPG mechanics, set in The Great Tapestry, a once candy-colored realm of dreams and fantasy now corrupted into a perilous ruin. You play as the Noble Guide, a fabled commander who can summon lost spirits to join an undead army. Explore the Four Kingdoms, discover heroes, armor, soldiers and structures, and fight to restore the Great Tapestry.

Explore the kingdoms

You send the Noble Guide to light spires scattered across the map, revealing troop resources to exploit. You expand your territory across each region, where gaps in the Tapestry leave you exposed to the unforgiving void. The battlefield is hex-based, and you can view it as Hex, a mechanical owl.

Lead the undead

You face wretched beasts waiting in the Clamoring Mist as you work toward completing the Rites of Awakening. Soldiers revive in collected pools of dying, letting you send wave after wave of undead against your opponents.
