About Incarnata: Dormant Stories

Incarnata is a text game offering incredible depth within an infinite world.

Dive into this adventure simulation and become everything you decide to be. The world reacts to your actions. Its characters pursue their own goals and remember what happens to them. Discover how far your choices can take you as you weave your own story.

A systemic text-based game

You can use any action on any object. The simulation works out the reaction based on what you do and what you do it to. Experiment with the world and discover possibilities that no one had to write in advance.

Characters have their own emotions and memories that shape how they react to you. Creates bonds with characters that are not just numbers, but actual memories that both them and your character will go back to and joke or cry about.

Gameplay depth

Will you aim for your enemy's throat or maybe their left eye? Will the memory of this fight stop your character from sleeping tonight? Are you wearing enough layers of clothes to protect you from the cold? Create your own story by playing with an unprecedented level of depth.

Extremely moddable

Almost everything in the game can be changed. Play as a human in a medieval fantasy world. Become a cyberhuman in a dystopian future. Or roam the wild as an animal with godly powers. Anything you can think of, the game can be made to play.

As a modder you can change the world players explore and the very actions at their disposal. Incarnata works as the platform where your dream world will come to life.

Your custom content becomes part of the game's systems. Even as its creator you can discover stories in your own world that you never planned.
