01
Memory & Identity
Names, histories, and selves are carved into being by the Record. What is forgotten may never have existed at all.
2D Action RPG / Soulslike / MetroidvaniaDark Scrolls
Write your legend. Defy the record.
A 2D Soulslike action RPG where memory, fate, and reality are written by the Great Record, and every death rewrites the world around you.
World
A world written by the Great Record.
In Dark Scrolls, history is not remembered. It is recorded. Kingdoms rise, gods decay, monsters are named, and identities are carved into existence by an ancient force no one fully understands. But the Record is breaking, and forgotten truths are returning.

Reality & Unraveling
The written world is fracturing. Roads shift, kingdoms contradict themselves, and dead truths return with teeth.

Knowledge & Corruption
Every forbidden scroll reveals power, but no revelation leaves the reader unchanged.
