TAINTED GRAIL: THE FALL OF AVALON is an unforgettable experience in solo or cooperative mode for 1-4 players. Blending the legends of King Arthur with Celtic mythology into a single vision, it allows you to have a significant and profound impact on the game world. An extremely branching storyline lets you tackle issues in multiple ways, ensuring that no game is like another. Difficult decisions and troubled choices await you around every corner, and seemingly minor tasks could echo, leading to severe long-term consequences.
In a land that is deteriorating and divided by conflicts, even survival becomes a true challenge. Hunger, diseases, harsh climates, and random incidents conspire to put an end to your journey. The guardian Menhirs, which ensured safe travels through the realm, are slowly darkening, turning even simple transport into a complicated puzzle. To overcome such challenges, your characters develop along conflicting paths, such as Brutality/Empathy or Pragmatism/Spirituality. These traits unlock a rich variety of mutually exclusive abilities and lead to different deck-building strategies, making character advancement meaningful and deep.
The character you develop will be tested in dozens of combat and non-combat encounters. Sometimes you will need to fight your way through with brute force, but at times diplomacy might be a better choice. Whether you fight with strength or cunning, our unique dice-free encounter system makes resolving every conflict fun and exciting, maintaining full immersion in the game.
In Avalon, there is a legend waiting for you behind every rock and tree. Every location is rich in stories and secrets to uncover. Places and characters are often much more than they seem. As you piece together the fragments of a larger puzzle, the land always has a surprise in store just around the corner. Many secrets can only be discovered after numerous games. Created by one of Poland's best fantasy authors, Krzysztof Piskorski, the story of TAINTED GRAIL: THE FALL OF AVALON aims to push the boundaries of non-linear narrative, drawing on Awaken Realms' rich experience in blending ambitious stories with excellent gameplay mechanics and impressive graphics.
