"Fabula Divina is a modern day twist on an old, old friend.  A friend
you had fun with back in the 80s and early 90s.

Borrowing on principles made popular in Ultima, Dungeon Siege,
Dungeons & Dragons and RogueLike games, Fabula Divina also borrows on
some more modern RPG techniques such as skills and open style game
play.

Fabula Divina is first and foremost a tactical RPG.  Turn based RPGs
are lost on today’s gaming world, and in turn a style of game play
which is still perfectly valid has become nigh extinct.

Fabula Divina is Cross-Platform.  What does that mean?  It means that
players on Windows, Linux and OS X can play it.

Plans are also in the works to make it available to Android and iOS as
well.

Features:

Custom Graphics

    This is a big one for this kind of game.  Almost all graphics in
the game are custom.  The items that are not custom, are freely
available.  Credit is listed on the about page.  If we have missed a
project that we used public domain work from, please write us and we
will add the credit straight away.  The oversight is not intentional.

Tactical Turn Based System

    All actions by all living things are based on turns

Virtue System

    The world of Willow is very much driven by ethics.  There are
virtues and antivirtues.

Skill System

    Skills can help you in every aspect of the game, including
virtues.  Some skills help you fight, some skills help you have fun,
some skills help you move, some skills help you cast, some skills help
you think, and some skills help your soul.

Old school battle and magic system.

    Use your mouse or keyboard for just about every action in the
game.

Experience levels tied to Skill System

    Experience points are awarded based on going up in use of your
skills.

Logic Puzzles

    Some puzzles help you open doors.  Some puzzles will help you find
answers to questions.  Some puzzles will help you warp from one point
to another.

MiniGames.

    Social games today are all the rage.  Some of those games would be
well played alone, in single player mode.  These games will make their
way into the society of Willow, and will help you with skills and
virtues.  More details on this feature will come in the future.

Optional Ties to Online Connections

    More details on this feature will come in the future.

Community based features.

    We build features into the game that you think will be FUN."
