Branches
A downloadable TTRPG
"May your knowledge grow ripe with experience and blossom upwards towards the top of the tree. Branch by branch you climb, devoted to the seedling and its everlasting guidance. Among the grass may you find peace and persistence. You are a disciple of the Dew now. Let it guide and sustain you on your journey."
Branches is a love letter to Etrian Odyssey, the labyrinth crawling Nintendo DS/3DS roleplaying game franchise. In Branches you will traverse a large mythological tree and explore specific branches and biomes within in search of adventure. Develop nature based powers and mutations based on the length of time you spend on each branch.
Features:
- 10 branches to explore and navigate on your journey, each featuring a different biome filled with flora and fauna.
- 20+ different enemy types with unique powers and deadly tactical exploits that will challenge and reward you.
- 3 branching skill trees and customizable powers.
- Build your story as you travel, mechanics change as you spend more time in each biome. Each biome visit is mapped out differently by the party as a team. The longer you visit and the more you climb, the stronger you get.
The game is a hex based "tree crawler" roleplaying game for the LUMEN Jam 2 Anniversary. It is built/illuminated using the LUMEN system by Spencer Campbell, Gila RPGs. This game is is no way affiliated with Spencer Campbell or Gila RPGs.

Is Branches intended to be a solo experience?
no it’s not, it could be, but it is played better with friends, ideally each player takes on a different class due to the mapmaking mechanics.
Ah, ok! Thank you!
