Delve into a world filled with rich storytelling and an intriguing, original history.

Setting


*"Ophelos: the world of Light, Zigardth: the world of Darkness and the Lands of Oblivion."*

Long ago, a world divided between Light and Darkness emerged. Beings of light, the Radiant, and beings of dark, the Dim, blinked into existence. Despite their world split in two by a cataclysmic event, it did not take long for the two societies to discover each other. War followed, fueled by the prejudice between them.

In a dark pit in a cursed land, a strange creature rises from a pile of corpses with no memories or knowledge about himself or the world around him. He is the first and only of his kind; a hybrid, with essences of Light and Dark. As soon he appears, the Radiant and the Dim reject him for his nature, forcing him to face alone the dangers of those lands.

Follow this hybrid’s journey through the madness of war. Discover with him the strange nature of the world and its inhabitants. Help him on his journey to unite two clashing cultures, and learn the intriguing truth of his origin.

About QUARTOMUNDO
QUARTOMUNDO is a 3D Animation and Game Development Studio based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We make games for people having fun, of course, but also for telling stories that relate to meaningful life issues. At this very moment, we believe that intolerance is a relevant subject we all should talk about, so we decided to develop a sous-like metroidvania around the story of Sephius, the first and only hybrid in an universe divided between two ancient rival strains: Pales and Darks.
