Unferat

Unferat is about an outcast who turns against their settlement and takes revenge on its villagers with unholy creatures and dark sorcery. You choose how to confront the settlement, set the pace and shape your approach.

The settlement

The world changes with the weather and time of day. Plants renew themselves, and animals behave according to their place in the food chain. The settlement has an economy built around miners, blacksmiths, cooks, herbalists, alchemists, traders and hunters, who earn money and improve their equipment to support its welfare.

Villagers follow daily routines that you can exploit. You can wait for workers on popular routes or lead the dead in a night raid on a trader’s camp. Disrupting supply lines can deprive the settlement of ore and herbs, leading to shortages of ammunition, food and potions. Your actions can draw angry crowds and unique characters driven by debt or gold, all seeking to get rid of you.

Choose your approach

You can steal provisions and resources, or hunt and gather herbs. You can weaken the settlement with disease or assemble an army of the dead, then defend your lair from angry villagers or flee and rebuild. You can scout carefully or take risks and begin hunting straight away.

Sorcery and alchemy

You can study four disciplines: necromancy, witchcraft, alchemy and demonology. Master one or combine them into a set of skills suited to your play style. Creating spells requires attention and concentration, while using them calls for imagination.

Alchemy lets you make and throw jars of poisonous fog, coat your dagger with toxins, poison food in cauldrons and send plague rats.
