You wander the devastated lands, channeling the strange power that flows through your hands to help the needy, redeem the rebellious and defeat the corrupt.

The end came, but it was only the beginning.
Out of the ruins of humanity and the relics of the former landscape, bands of survivors formed, where some faced extreme hardship, while others faced macabre opportunity. All were forced to confront the new reality of life touched by the Plague, creating a generation of filthy peddlers, doomsday prophets and village despots. In this wasteland, you will wander as a strange healer, channeling the strange power that flows through your hands to liberate the needy, decimate the bandits and eradicate the corrupt.

Relive the journey of the last thaumaturge through an ingenious oracular system based on your dexterity and the spin of a coin!
