The Feral: Fearless fighters bestowed with the power of blood magic and the ability to transform into a Weretiger.

BUILD YOUR OWN SKILL TREES WITH THE SKILL LINK SYSTEM Each class comes with a “skill set”, a pool containing active skills, skill modifiers, and passive class bonuses. Plan your Compound Glyph layout in order to maximise stat bonuses! In Ghostlore, you can wield a variety of weapons prevalent in Southeast-Asian martial arts: The Kris or Keris - a blade with a distinctively wavy shape. Collect and prepare various meals to boost your stats. The tales of Hungry Ghosts are superstitions brought over by Chinese immigrants - undead horrors cursed to remain forever hungry due to their greed in mortal life. Stories from the maritime region of Southeast-Asia are full of all manner of nightmarish, horrifying creatures. In your travels you will find Glyphs - magical symbols that you can inscribe onto your body to gain new powers. The glyphs are based on the Toki Pona language, designed by Sonja Lang. Each Glyph takes up space on your body (represented in game as a grid). More grid spaces unlock as you level up. As your level increases, so do the number of glyphs you can inscribe onto yourself. Here's where things get interesting: Compound glyphs are rare and special glyphs that use 5 normal glyph spaces, but grant additional bonuses to glyphs that are placed within their configuration. Discover over 40 different enemies, each with their quirks and tactics to defeat based on their descriptions in folklore. Explore a procedurally generated world that takes inspiration from the developers' home country of Singapore, its two closest neighbours, Malaysia and Indonesia, and the rest of Southeast Asia. Players unfamiliar with the region will get to experience a culture that is underrepresented and rarely seen in other forms of media. Inspired by timeless classic ARPG's such as Diablo 2 and Titan Quest, Ghostlore features a detailed item and character customization system, procedurally generated maps, and an authentically retro 90's aesthetic. The bloodthirsty Penanggal is a gruesome creature with origins in Malay folklore. Examples: COMBO SKILLS Each active skill is also able to combine with skills from other classes to form an advanced skill that incorporates the characteristics of both base skills. Combo skills are created when two compatible skills are placed adjacent to one another in the skill grid. The Glyph system is where Ghostlore brings something truly new to the Action-RPG table. Things can be placed in or taken out of the grid at will. Skill modifiers can be used to change the characteristics of any active skill from any class. Skill modifiers link together with active skills both across and down. The Indonesian Babi Ngepet myth tells of sorcerors who sacrifice their humanity in order to become boar demons. It is a well-balanced weapon. The Bow and Arrow has been a staple of hunting since the dawn of time; apparently they come in handy with ghost-hunting as well! Parangs, also known as machetes, are cleaving blades with a wide arc. The deadly Kukri knives are the fastest attacking melee weapons in the game. The trusty Spear has the longest reach out of all the melee weapons. Finally, there are enchanted Talismans that can fly and give foes nasty papercuts. Are you brave enough to face them? Players who live in Southeast Asia will find plenty of things they recognize - such as the food! Don't fight on an empty stomach! Ghostlore allows you to mix-and-match abilities from 3 out of 6 character classes to create your own unique hero. Skills must be assigned to a grid in order to be usable. For example: Some skill modifiers are trigger modifiers. It comprises of nothing more than a disembodied head and dangling entrails. Trigger modifiers allow a skill to be used automatically, as long as there is enough MP, the skill is not on cooldown, and the modifier’s specified conditions are met. (see green highlighted area in image). Ghostlore is an 'Eastpunk' Action-RPG where you fight monsters from Southeast-Asian folklore. Some skill modifiers have tradeoffs.
