Of Roots and Gears - WIP

Work in progress, demo version includes Act 1 of game story (out of 3 Acts planned).

Welcome to the world of Roots and Gears! Here, people are divided into two nations: the Heliots, who live under the Sun, and the Akhetis, who dwell beneath the mountains. The Heliots embrace harmony with nature, while the Akhetis pursue scientific progress. The Heliots value freedom, while the Akhetis follow the precepts of a cruel goddess.

You are a young mechanic from Helia, captivated by Akheti technology. For years, your nation has been separated from the underground city by a magical veil of Mist. But what happens when this veil disappears?    

– Unravel mysteries of a distant planet  

The world Of Roots and Gears was once a desolate planet. But the will of a powerful goddess brought together humans, intelligent trees, and fairy-like creatures. What were the goddess’s intentions? Why was the surface shrouded in Mist for fifteen decades? How did the Mist vanish? And can such diverse beings coexist in an alien world? Explore the locations, talk to everyone you meet, and find the answers.

– Make choices, change the story  

Of Roots and Gears is a dialogue-based RPG where every decision matters. Yesterday’s enemy can become an ally, and a loyal friend might turn against you. Influence life in Helia, build connections with the Akheti, or watch from the sidelines – the choice is yours.  

– The amazing world of aetherpunk  

Of Roots and Gears merges magic and technology in a unique aetherpunk setting. From magical crystals and fairies to self-propelled carriages, the game blends fantasy and science fiction. With its distinctive hand-drawn style, every scene feels like a living illustration.
