EARTHLOCK

[Koby]

Earthlock is a role-playing video game developed and published by the Norwegian company Snowcastle Games for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U. The Xbox One version was launched on September 1, 2016 worldwide, with the PlayStation 4 and Wii U versions to follow suit at a later date.

 

The game is planned to be the first volume of an Earthlock trilogy. A version for the Nintendo Switch was released on March 8, 2018.

 

The game's story takes place in the world of Umbra, where a cataclysmic event occurs that stops the planet from spinning. This leaves part of the world scorched by constant sunlight, part of it perpetually cold due to lack of sunlight, and a patch of livable land in between. The incident ends up burying much of the past advanced civilization, but humanity survives and society begins anew in the habitable part of the planet. The story follows the adventurer Amon, who, among his usual activities of scavenging ruins, gets entangled in a much larger conflict with the ruling Suvian Empire.

 

*EARTHLOCK with the subtitle "Festival of Magic was the first version of the game now simply known as "EARTHLOCK". Earthlock: Festival of Magic is now discontinued following the release of EARTHLOCK in March 2018.
