In a blizzard-ravaged community, survivors face nightly killings that reshape their fates. Players navigate shifting environmental puzzles and delve into villagers' interconnected tales of grief, loss, and nostalgia. Town events evolve as jobs go unfilled, altering quests and rewards based on who survives.
This indie RPG adventure delivers a random story each playthrough, with death order triggering unique narrative branches. Enter puzzle dungeons across four biomes, using tools and surroundings to reach the center amid fresh challenges drawn from hundreds of options. Fans of replayable, relationship-driven adventures with procedural puzzles will find endless paths through Vidar's doom.
Vidar is Dying
In the middle of a blizzard, a community's remaining citizens are forced to confront their impending deaths. Every night, a villager is killed, and the survivors are forced to alter their course in response. Chart a path through always-changing, challenging environmental puzzles, and explore the stories and grief of these townsfolk before Vidar is lost forever.
A Random Story Every Time
In Vidar, every villager has heavily interdependent relationships with the others. When one person dies, everyone else’s stories change - if the blacksmith loses her apprentice, she’ll give you different quests; if the blacksmith loses her supplier, still different; and if she predeceases both, then those two will respond accordingly, etc. Because the order of deaths is random, the story and quests you receive will be different every time you play.
New Challenges to Overcome
To stop the killings you’ll need to enter a puzzle dungeon. Use your tools and your environment to help navigate to the center of the cave before everyone in town is dead. These puzzles are also randomly chosen from a bank of hundreds, so that when you come back to see a new story unfold, you’ll also face a new challenge.
