Arx Fatalis

First-person RPG set in Arx, an underground world where you navigate faction politics and survival through direct action. The game uses a gesture-based magic system where you draw runes in real-time to cast spells. You'll craft items, pick locks, and make choices that shift how NPCs and factions respond to you. Environments lean heavily on medieval dungeon architecture—stone corridors, torch-lit chambers, and interconnected cave systems. Combat mixes melee weapons with your drawn spells. The story unfolds through exploration and NPC interactions rather than cutscenes. If you want an RPG where your decisions visibly alter the world's state and prefer hands-on magic over hotbar clicking, this delivers on both.
