About This Game
Amsterdam, 1666. This city was built on wealth, power, and human will, but now it is sustained by an evil force of unknown origin...
They have a name: "Primordials." They have lurked in the world for centuries—time cannot erase them, and their power far exceeds that of ordinary humans; yet they have never paid a price for squandering this power. Now, it is time for that power to be repaid.
Noah Brooklyn was born to be a "Taker." Raised by Zedach, she was prepared for a mission she could not choose: to reclaim that power.
One City, Two Faces
Each day, you will explore this meticulously crafted Amsterdam. Each night, you will uncover the secrets beneath the city's surface. Every building's facade features gable stones recording its history; but what is written on these stones is not always the truth.
Every name, every debt
The Primordials walk among the citizens of Amsterdam, hidden behind human faces. Find them, mark them, and when Esbat arrives, confront their true forms under the moonlight. Collect the debt that is owed.
Your Path, Your Methods
Noah is well-versed in the witchcraft and spells passed down through generations of Zedach. For each target, you have more than one method at your disposal. Strategy, timing, and choices will all influence the outcome. Every Esbat is a reckoning.
Early Access Game
1666: Amsterdam is scheduled to enter Early Access later this year. Please check the dedicated details to see what this journey will bring.
