Aris Arcanum

Once destined to lead the grand library of Aris, scholar Clyde now faces its ruin. Appointed overseer of Atramancy, the art of manipulating the occult Ink, he must confront the very force that promised knowledge but delivered madness. The Ink, an alien entity sealed within Aris, twists minds and bodies, and Clyde must battle through corrupted halls to restore order.

Gameplay

Guide Clyde through a Victorian-era roguelike adventure, where you must balance his fragile human form with the immense power of the Ink. Craft unique spells by combining abilities, adapting to the ever-changing challenges of the cursed library. The combat system is fair but demanding, requiring strategy and experimentation. Each death resets your progress, but Clyde retains his magical knowledge, allowing for endless build variations and deeper exploration.

Story

But those who embraced it were consumed—their minds warped, their bodies marked by dark corruption. With his mentor lost to the curse, Clyde must descend into the library's corrupted depths, battling twisted scholars and unraveling cosmic horrors to stop the Ink's spread and save what remains of Aris.
