Cascade

Please Press Start

Welcome to the far future, long after humankind has abandoned their ancestral home, huge Arks hurtle through empty space. These Arks preserve humanity as they were, searching for a new home – but that’s unlikely to happen in your lifetime.

Day to day life on an Ark is an… interesting experience. The world has become irreversibly changed due to the presence of Reality+, a world overlapping with the physical. Reality+ works a lot like augmented reality of the old days, with a few exceptions

No headset

It’s everywhere

And it’s at least kind of real

In Cascade, players will make characters called Sinners. Make no mistake, while sins were once something to be avoided, now they are the best way to prove that you are real. Sinners have two major pieces – A Path, and an Archetype. A Path defines what you do in combat – destroy, weaken, heal or deceive. An Archetype defines how – up close and personal, from a snipers nest, or running circles around your enemies.

After you pick out some abilities, grab some gear, and find a party, you’re all ready for some strategic, quick, time-slowing fights to keep the world in one piece.

Cascade focuses on making combat a fun and strategy-based, where you carefully decide what to do using a free-form action system that lets you devote yourself to going all in, playing it safe or a solid balance. Add in the amount of options your Sinner will have in special skills, gear and weapons, and you’ll never run out of options in combat. Outside of combat, Cascade shows just how wild the world gets when it all crosses over – cowboys, samurai, junkyard scrappers, Greek mythology, and infinite more. Your character’s style and personality can be just about anything you want, and your adventures can take you anywhere.

Cascade is not yet ready for release – but it is ready for you to play. If you’re interested, check out the playtesting materials below.
