Get Kedemara: The Orphan's Ballad for PC

Kedemara: The Orphan's Ballad is a role-playing game with turn-based combat, character interaction and exploration. You follow Deirdre, a 16-year-old who grew up in an orphanage, as she tries to discover who her parents are. The story offers over 50 hours of content and follows Deirdre and her whimsical companions through a circa-1400s fantasy setting.

Deirdre's journey

Before Deirdre leaves the orphanage to make a life for herself, its caretaker tells her she was nearly four years old when she was brought there, not a baby as she had believed. A suspicious but well-intentioned man had left her in the caretaker's care to keep her safe, along with money and a key to a treasure chest in town that only Deirdre can open. He instructed the caretaker to give her the key when she was old enough to leave.

The chest raises more questions than it answers. A letter accompanying Deirdre's combat gear points her toward a distant town, and she must cross half the continent safely to follow this first lead. Her search for her parents draws her into dismantling the largest conspiracy of her era. The tale mixes comedy and inspiration, with a colorful cast of humorous companions, reference humor, fourth-wall breaks and a prodigy mage who thinks her pet chicken is a cat.

Defeated enemies and quests can also provide equippable loot, while dialogue and interaction options encourage you to explore each map and its objects.
