All that remains of the Tartar army are sparse remnants scattered throughout the Abode and corpses with teethmarks on their bones. The few remaining generals stalk the labyrinthine halls, having failed their task yet now something more than human. They roam, looking for new meat.

It's a bit of Persona, a bit of Shin Megami Tensei and a whole lot of dungeon crawling roguelike. It's a permadeath game (also for your demons!) where you traverse dungeons, collect demons to use in battle and fight nasty bosses

Talk to them, fight them, summon them to your party, take them out exploring and on dates to max out their social link and maybe even romance them!

The Sharp Prince is one remaining half of a living artefact, a thing blurring the lines between 'organism' and 'tool.'

She is a blade of judgement made the focal point of a web of living string and thread, pulsing as arteries would, and entangling as threads of brain-silk would.

With nary a drop of divinity in him, Belial desires to rule but is unable to attain any deific state. Still, he styles himself as a worldly ruler carrying the mandate of Buer. He has taken control of the lower realms with military might, now ruling as a mockery of human nobility.

The Acolytes of the Amicit believe flesh is what holds back their evolution and eventual ascenscion into beings of pure thought. To reach enlightenment, they separate from their flesh and become Skeletons. Freed from the burden of thought, the flesh in turn becomes a happy slime.

The Olm are subterranean lizards who have adapted to their dark environment to the point of losing their eyes in favour of other, far sharper but alien senses. The common Olm are only babies, the offspring of 'Great Olms', dragons who dwell in the vast darkness beneath the world.

Summoning demons is fraught with danger, and not just for the summoner. If summoning or fusion rituals are improperly executed, several demons might accidentally be conjoined into a suffering mess of limbs with no real sense of identity, a 'Miscreant'

The Yutu are the native inhabitants of the Moon. Once peaceful and edenic, a luminous being descended from the cosmos and taught them the horrors of modern civilization. Now they chart the heavens, toil and farm on silver fields of moondust and wage war with instruments of death.

Having delved too deep into the desires of the flesh, the Deprived has lost ego and soul and is now nothing but unfulfillable want.

The Idolator has obtained an idol containing remnants of glory- delusionally fashioning it into a new ego, thinking himself none other than the sun

The astral seas beyond the firmament are home to many beings, growing ever stranger and ever larger the further you stray into the dark depths of space.

The Gymnosomata are molluscs that devour thought, casting out their own organs as antennae to filter-feed on consciousness.

A magnificent five legged goat who rolls around the countryside dispensing wisdom- corrupting shepherds with knowledge of natural philosophy, logic and the nature of ethics. Buer has trapped the last of the dying Sun into a mask and now fashions himself into a false ruler of men.

A Prince of Hell in the shape of a horse, Orobas styles himself the 'Prince of the Free' and promises salvation to the outcast and the persecuted. His cultists eventually turn into horses themselves, wildly running around and generally making a mess of things.
