Hey fellow gamers! Here's a promo for Dispel The Darkness that should get you excited for the game. Here's a brief overview of the key events and concepts introduced in Dispel The Darkness:

The Rising Curse: The story opens by establishing that a dark and dangerous Curse is spreading across Oakhaven, affecting everyone in the kingdom.

The Crown Prince’s Call: In response to the escalating threat, the Crown Prince issues a call for help. He believes that the source of the Curse lies in six ancient scrolls. His plan is to destroy these scrolls to eliminate the Curse once and for all.

The Role of the Volunteer: You, along with a few brave others, are among the “Volunteers” — commoners seeking adventure who have answered the Crown Prince’s call. Your journey will begin by traveling to the castle to meet him and receive your mission.

The Quest for the Scrolls: Your main objective is to locate and secure the six ancient scrolls, each one guarded by formidable Dark Guardians. So far, very few have been retrieved, setting the stage for a high-risk, high-reward adventure.

The Adventure Framework: As you traverse Oakhaven, you’ll encounter various characters and challenges that will provide both assistance and obstacles in your quest. The choices you make along the way are crucial, as they will shape the outcome of your adventure and the fate of the kingdom.

Game Mechanics Overview: It is a cooperative game designed for 1 to 3 players. The game blends elements of RPGs, card drafting, and dice rolling. Players will navigate through an 80+ page Story book, making decisions that earn them experience (XP). XP is used to upgrade skills and equipment, enhancing combat abilities in strategic Story Battles where both offense and defense are key.

In summary, Dispel The Darkness sets the stage for a dangerous yet enticing quest: as a Volunteer, you must journey through a cursed land, overcome powerful foes, and make critical choices that will determine not only your destiny but also the future of Oakhaven.
