Buy Operencia: The Stolen Sun PC key

Operencia: The Stolen Sun is a first-person dungeon-crawling RPG set in Operencia, a fantasy world inspired by Central European folktales and mythology. When an unknown force abducts the Sun King Napkiraly, the land falls into perpetual darkness and faces eventual doom. You explore the land and beyond, seeking a way through a story told with hand-drawn cutscenes, 2D character portraits and more than 30 fully voiced characters.

The world of Operencia

The journey crosses varied locations, from hidden royal tombs and cursed castles to the World Tree and the Copper Forest of the Land of the Gods. The game has 13 puzzle-filled levels, each with its own atmosphere, visual style, level design and puzzles; many take place outdoors. Its world combines lesser-known mythology with fantastical versions of historical places such as Deva Fortress and Balvanyos, and figures such as Attila and the Seven Chieftains of the Magyars.

Your party

You switch between seven upgradable party members, some inspired by heroes from old tales, including the brave knight Mezey and Sebastian the Dragon Slayer. More than 50 enemy types stand in your way.

Battles and exploration

Combat uses a strategic, turn-based system built around spells and special skills. Tile-based movement lets you explore each area, while Cartographer mode lets you map each of the 13 maps yourself. Difficulty settings include options to limit saves, enable permadeath and disable auto-mapping.

Presentation

The story is presented through hand-drawn cutscenes and 2D character portraits. Fully 3D environments, enemies and objects use dynamic shadows and lighting, and the orchestral score is composed by Arthur Grosz.
