Description

Short Version

South of the March is an RPG that combines visual novel exploration with turn-based combat in a hand-drawn dark fantasy world. Meet the locals and unravel a mystery, equip your party for the dangers ahead, and set out into the unforgiving wilderness.

Story Version

Gemma and Cyrus, a pair of mercenaries and long-time friends, take on a contract in a work-stopped lumber camp. The laborers are afraid, armed bandits are staking their territory just across the river, and there are rumors of something unnatural deep in the woods beyond. The duo have seen chaos and violence in their lives, but their time south of The March threatens to show them new kinds of danger in the dark fantasy world of Eadmore.
