Pretty sure this goes without saying, but

Rune Fencer Illyia does not and will NEVER contain anything with genAI.

Even the smallest trailer slot for Gamescom is unattainable for indies. It'd basically bankrupt us!

So if you wanna help a tiny indie get some visibility, then I'd love if you could check out our awesome game - there's giant capybaras in it!

HEY. Did you like cooking in games like Zelda Breath of the Wild?

There's now over 130+ recipes for Illyia to cook and discover. Now THAT'S egg-cellent!🍳

Each runic spell in Rune Fencer Illyia has a hidden quality to them.
For instance, I timed her boomerang spell to match perfectly with the speed of her sword combo, allowing the player to keep up the assault for massive damage!

Take a moment from doom scrolling to rest among the weary. Perhaps, share a kind word for fellow travelers?
