Once upon a time, there was difference, discrimination, and misery. 

LINEAGE is a narrative-driven fantasy adventure where you play as a rebellious trio, united by injustice, they decide to change.  Set in the oppressive kingdom of Skarrhein, you’ll infiltrate the royal castle and lead a revolution from within. 

The game explores some of the most common forms of discrimination that people still face in the real world through the lens of a dark fantasy setting. A skilled knight is denied her place in the royal guard simply because she’s a woman. A tiefling cleric is feared for her demonic heritage, judged not by her actions but by the way she looks. An archer from a distant land faces constant prejudice and misunderstanding, his culture dismissed and mocked by those in power.

 Through their stories, LINEAGE draws parallels between a fictional, oppressive kingdom and the realities of our own societies — where bias, fear, and systemic injustice still persist. The medieval world may be filled with magic and monsters, but its deepest challenges remain painfully human.

Kibo does not meet and will never meet the criteria to participate in the Ranger’s Trial, due to the guild only accepting those who have some blood relation with the Sylvane family. This does not mean he lacks talent with the bow and he will prove it to any guards who stand in his way. 

Catherine (The Knight) trained her whole life with a sword, shield and the sense of duty to protect her younger brothers. When she finally came of age, she sought to join the Knight Order. However, she was denied under the claim that she would be too distracting during practice and destabilize formations during wars. Now with the tools she thought would protect her brothers she must protect her own values.

Anahit was a devout and pious cleric who helped the needy and poor, but suspicions grew of their origins when people began noticing they never removed their hood, until the tragic day when a strong storm passed by and revealed what hid beneath, the horns of a Tiefling, a spawn of demon now claimed as an heretic. Even if harming others is not their preferred method of reason they can still aid the party by making sure everyone keeps their fingers. 

Soundtrack

"I got really inspired by old dark fantasy games like FlyKnight, but composers like Lena Raine also influenced a lot of these ideas. I also love waltz music, and I wish I could’ve incorporated it more throughout the game’s soundtrack!"

Cinematic

" For the cinematic, I wanted to create a small animation piece in After Effects. It wasn't very hard to do, but it took a lot of effort to make the storyboard and each frame animation. Good thing I had my friend Bdykoi to help me with the sound effects and the music. It felt really good to see something I did come to life. "
