Verfall

Verfall is a dark RPG set in a ruined world where the Servants of Corrosion have been unleashed. Heroes marked by the Mark must unite and race to save what remains, relying on limited resources rather than traditional power-ups. Your choices shape the story, determine who lives or dies and affect which paths you can take.

Karma and choices

Karma is based on the seven deadly sins and influences your choices, abilities and the fate of your characters. Decisions range from saving or sacrificing children to responding to NPCs who challenge your beliefs. Karma also determines which items you can craft and which abilities you can upgrade, supporting different approaches to the journey. The story has five alternate endings based on your choices and accumulated karma, as well as a true ending accessible by completing the deepest challenges.

Heroes and exploration

You build a team from 18 heroes, each with unique abilities that can shape the narrative and uncover secrets. Their abilities include conversing with spirits to reveal story fragments, jumping obstacles and moving objects, finding secrets and treasures, and extracting information from NPCs that can change the course of your journey.

The world contains over 150 maps, including bonus stages, action sequences, puzzles and hidden locations. You can choose the order of stages, and interact with over 1,000 NPCs, each with secrets, quests and stories that may alter your journey. Some interactions can irreversibly shape your fate, while others offer information, tales or jokes.

Combat and survival

Combat is turn-based. You face enemies with distinct resistances and use magic and abilities that are limited but grow more powerful depending on your characters' karma. Battles require planning, particularly at higher difficulty levels. Across four difficulty levels, you must also manage limited items, prepared potions and powers, since survival depends on how you use them.

Verfall also has a roguelite mode, where death has severe consequences and limited resources test your adaptability. Careful exploration, strategy and attention to detail matter throughout.
