It's time for punishing action RPG Thymesia! Step into the blood-soaked kingdom of Hermes today.
Remember Corvus. You must remember:
Watch on YouTube
Taking players to the once thriving Kingdom of Hermes they will step into the shoes of half human, half raven hybrid, Corvus, the one remaining hope for humanity, as he attempts to piece together his shattered memories and save the world.
Combining fast paced combat with an intricate plague weapon system, Thymesia challenges players to take on a series of gruesome and unforgiving enemies. As Corvus, they must master the use of plague weapons - devastating powers reived from the diseased denizens that stalk the Kingdoms streets – combing fearsome attacks, perfect deflecting, and agile dodging in order to overcome the punishing challenges that await, saving those that remain from a fate worse than death.
Thymesia Key Features:

Weaponising diseases: Seize diseases from enemies and wield them as deadly weapons
Fight Your Way: Upgrade and modify Corvus’ basic movements and plague weapons to devastating effect
A dark and deadly world: With a sinister and gloomy backdrop, Thymesia oozes character through its environments and setting
Unforgiving enemies: Corrupted by the plague, and mutated into monsters, enemies are twisted and incredibly hostile, challenging players at every turn
A 10% launch discount will apply for one week, through August 25th!

Hello, everyone! The steam demo was a great success for us! We enjoyed watching people playing our game. We also really appreciate those who were willing to take the time and tell us what we could do better. We are listening!
Our team had a meeting right after the event and here’s a list of things we will change:

Shorten the wind-up animations between saber attacks
Shorten the wind-up animations between deflecting and dodging
Extend the i-frame for deflecting and dodging
Significantly increase the flying speed of feathers and extend the window for interrupting enemy critical attacks
These alone should drastically improve the fluidity of the basic combat. Besides that, we have so much to do before launch.
*Please note
The demo featured the tutorial segment of Thymesia, offering a limited selection of combat. You can upgrade talents extremely quickly in-game, enhancing dodge/deflect abilities in no time, at all.
