Neither survives alone.
Explore a beautiful, uneasy woodland. Build a shared refuge. Play both people whose lives depend on it.
A vampire-survival exploration RPGThe Stilwald awaits
A refuge after loss
Everything is gone.
There is still
each other.
One night, vampires destroy Kjelken. Geir, a blacksmith, and Kasia, a seamstress and tavern singer, escape into the Stilwald. They are neighbours, barely acquainted, and not particularly fond of what they know of one another. Now they have only the forest—and each other.
Among its trees, they build a refuge. They gather supplies, make what they need, and seek allies among the surrounding factions. What begins as shelter must become something more: one final trap for the vampires who took everything.
Two playable perspectives · One shared story
The same days.
Two sides of the story.
Play a chapter out in the forest. Then return to its beginning and live those same days at the refuge, as the other survivor.
Back by the fire
Reunite at camp and talk about what happened. Choose who ventures out and who stays home next chapter.
Both can take either role. Both must survive. If either dies, the game ends.
An unlikely partnership
No chosen ones.
Just two people.

Geir
“It's adequate. The tang's wrong.”
Reserved, until the talk turns to metalwork. A craftsman rather than a trained warrior, Geir knows the value of a thing made well.
Only Geir can forge the silver that kills vampires.

Kasia
“Is that our kettle? Is it boiling? Who brought the cups?”
Kasia talks to think, asks endless questions, and makes friends easily. In unfamiliar company, her voice can open a door.
Only Kasia can win over the factions—and learn magic.
Life in the Stilwald / 01
Look closer.
A handcrafted forest rewards attention. Zoom in to find loot tucked among the details; pull back to watch for danger. There is beauty here worth taking your time over.
Life in the Stilwald / 02
Make a refuge.
Prepare a trap.
Build, craft, and keep yourselves alive. You are ordinary people facing something far stronger. Stealth, preparation, traps, and wit matter more than a fair fight.
Your refuge is more than shelter. It becomes part of the plan.
Life in the Stilwald / 03
Choose who
stands with you.
Five factions. Relationships shaped by branching dialogue. The people you reach—and the choices you make—determine who joins you at the end.
There is more than one alliance that can succeed.
