Survival Without Heroes in Ancient India

Unrest strips away the fantasy power trips and legendary quests that define most RPGs. Set in the famine-ravaged city-state of Bhimra, this adventure RPG puts you in the sandals of five ordinary people just trying to survive. No chosen ones here—just hunger, disease, and the crushing weight of political upheaval.

Five Interconnected Stories of Desperation

Each character faces their own desperate circumstances in Bhimra's crumbling society. Play through five distinct perspectives as poverty and social unrest tear the city apart. The choices you make for one character ripple outward, often making survival harder for the others. These aren't heroic adventures—they're intimate portraits of people pushed to their limits.

Ancient Indian Setting with Political Intrigue

Bhimra draws inspiration from ancient India, creating a fantasy world grounded in real cultural elements. Political conspiracies brew while citizens starve. Social hierarchies crumble under pressure. The setting feels authentic rather than exotic, treating its cultural influences with respect while building a believable world of political upheaval and social decay.

Story-Driven RPG Mechanics

Unrest prioritizes narrative choices over combat encounters. Your decisions shape not just individual storylines but the broader fate of Bhimra itself. The game focuses on dialogue, moral dilemmas, and consequence management rather than traditional RPG progression systems. Every choice carries weight, and there's rarely a clear "right" answer.

Special Edition Content and Extras

The Special Edition includes a 12-track soundtrack inspired by Indian classical music, plus a novella set in Bhimra written by Rutskarn of Chocolate Hammer. High-resolution digital posters showcase concept art and a detailed map of the city-state. Behind-the-scenes developer footage and design documents provide insight into the game's creation process.

No Clear Heroes or Villains

Traditional RPG morality systems don't apply here. Characters make difficult choices based on survival, not heroism. The game refuses to judge your decisions as good or evil—instead, it shows their practical consequences. Some choices that help one person will inevitably harm another, reflecting the harsh realities of life in a collapsing society.
