We have lost contact with the Arch-Phrenic.
The vicious forest, Chedone, stirs.
We have no Guildmaster, and my father is dead.
The Cheds are coming.
Diichohhs , send your strongest Crusaders……
We must discover the secret of Chedone…..

-Letter from Gaz’ra-Lina,
Thilo-t’ess of Kilhellos, to the
Crusader Diichohhs



**About this Game **

*Ahh Barquay, you have come. Sit by the fire, stay a moment, and listen to your father.
You have lived a life of peace and comfort,
As much as one can in the shadow of Chedone.
But the time has come, my son.
I can no longer protect you.
I have not raised a hilo’ness in this house!
Diichohhs has sounded the horn.
He calls all able bodied men to Chedone,
To find the source of this mystery.
You will do what I could not Barquay…….*

**Turtle River is a punishing, loot-based, JRPG pixel art dungeon crawler.**

You are Husio Barquay, a literal wallflower who has never taken a risk or faced serious danger in his life.

Until the Crusader Prophet Diichohhs called upon all Turtillian men of fighting age to enter the vicious forest of Chedone.




**JRPG meets ARPG **

Slay hordes upon hordes of enemies in this fast - paced Active Time Battle JRPG.

Terrifying Elites, Suffocating Swarms, and Ball-Crushing Bosses await your blade.

**Punishing, rewarding combat. **

Chedone is no joke friend. You’ll need all your tactical wits and fast reflexes to defeat the Ched hordes.
