Published by Vermillion Row · PC · PS5
A monsoon closes a coastline for six weeks and eleven factions who have never had to speak to each other are now stuck behind the same water. There is no protagonist. You take a faction, you take the season, and the campaign ends when the rain does, whether or not you have finished anything.
Turn-based tactical engagements sitting under a real-time season layer where supply, morale and standing water matter more than unit stats. Every faction speaks about you, systemically, and the 4,200 lines of dialogue react to what you actually did rather than to a reputation number.
Terrain floods on a schedule you can read and plan against, and it does not care about your timetable.
Faction dialogue keyed to relationship state, so being distrusted sounds different from being feared.
Six weeks is the campaign. Unfinished business stays unfinished, which is the whole design.
Binds for character navigation and positioning.
Attack triggers, secondary aim, and weapon reloads.
Skill activations, ultimate execution, and utility binds.
Scoreboards, mapping widgets, and overlay displays.
Standard match without rank pressure.
Ranked, skill-based lobbies.
Fast matches with random power-ups.
Free-for-all aim training.

"The bark system is the best argument in years that dialogue is a systems discipline rather than a writing one."
"A strategy game with a hard stop is a brave thing to ship and it makes every turn matter more than a longer campaign ever did."

A strategy game with a hard stop is a brave thing to ship and it makes every turn matter more than a longer campaign ever did.
It is dense, it is slow for six hours, and then it is the only thing you want to play.
