THE ARCHITECT NOTES FOR OPEN BETA

OPEN BETA GAMEPLAY TRAILER

HIGHLIGHTS

ZENDOR - THE WESTWARD JOURNEY

In the shattered realm of Zendor, where mountains weep silvery tears and the very ground whispers ancient secrets, reality itself seems to crack and splinter like sun-bleached bone. Here, beneath skies stained the color of old brass, colossal beings carved from living stone merge with mechanical constructs lumber between dark spires that could pierce the clouds. They say the Bone Queen watches from her throne of fractured memories and her crown fashioned from the dreams of fallen kingdoms. Those who venture into Zendor's blighted expanse soon learn that every crystal holds a story, every shadow conceals a threat, and the line between what is real and digital blurred long ago in ways that defy comprehension. The air itself tastes of corruption, carrying echoes of battles fought between mechanicals who turned themselves to crystals rather than admit defeat.

With 30 brand new sectors covering the vast expanse of Zendor, Siphers will have their work carved out for them. Be vigilant, for nothing is ever as it seems in Zendor. Venture forth, Siphers, to a realm where even the dust beneath your feet might once have been a god. And you, are destined here to unravel its mysteries.

Will you discover how deep the rabbit hole goes?

Introducing Automa, a groundbreaking combat companion system that pairs Siphers with advanced AI constructs discovered in the depths of Sipheria's ancient ruins. These mysterious Automas fight alongside you in battle, starting as basic combat assistants but evolving into powerful allies. Each Automa can be customized with different vessels, gears, and weapons that define their role, from aggressive damage dealers to protective guardians, and their effectiveness grows through both combat experience and direct upgrades. The more you fight together, the more sophisticated combat patterns become, eventually you can execute complex combo sequences together with them. While the true origin of these AI constructs remains a mystery, one thing is clear: the bond between Sipher and Automa represents a powerful new dimension in your journey through Sipheria.
