Nothmere

You awaken alone on a cold, rocky shore beneath a moonless sky, dragged from the sea through a sewer pipe with no memory of who you are, how you arrived, or why you’re still alive.

Beyond the beach lies Nothmere, a remote town nestled deep within an inescapable ring of jagged mountains. No one leaves. No one ever has. Every soul who arrives does so the same way you did: broken, memoryless, and stranded.

Despite this, the town endures.

Nothmere is protected by powerful magical wards embedded into its stone walls, holding back the void creatures that stalk the surrounding wilderness. These defenses are maintained by the town’s Mage guild, while order and survival are enforced by the Warrior guild.  Thieves lurk in the shadows, secrets whisper through alleyways, and every citizen carries gaps in their past they cannot explain.

As you explore the town and its outskirts, you’ll uncover fragments of truth about Nothmere’s origins, the nature of the wards, the monsters beyond the walls, and the terrible cost that keeps the town standing.  What begins as a search for escape becomes something far more unsettling; the realization that Nothmere exists for a reason and you may be part of it.

Your choices will determine how the story ends.  Will you preserve the fragile balance that keeps the town safe? Will you uncover a way to break the cycle? Or will you doom Nothmere, and everyone within it forever?  In Nothmere, memory is a weapon, sacrifice is inevitable, and some truths are buried for a reason.
