Nephelem: A Path of Vice and Virtue

About This Game

Nephelem: A Path of Vice and Virtue is a dark fantasy roguelite featuring intense and deliberate action combat, multiple build possibilities, and a lore-rich, beautifully stylized world.

You are a former member of the Nephelem Order, once sworn to guard the passage between life and death—now living a quiet life in the mortal realm. But a personal tragedy forces you to return to the afterlife. In a world torn by eternal conflict, you must confront the past and uncover the mystery that brought you back.

Travel the Afterlife and Uncover Its Mysteries

Journey through the afterlife across three distinct biomes, each with its own visual identity, lore, enemies, and combat encounters.

Wield Weapons and Forge Your Strategy

As a former Nephelem warrior, you wield a powerful and diverse arsenal designed to support a wide range of playstyles. Choose a primary and secondary weapon, each with distinct mechanics, and equip powerful abilities to shape your strategy for every run.

Throughout your journey, you’ll unlock new weapons, enhance them using materials found in the afterlife, and face ever-growing challenges that test your mastery. Whether you favor fast-paced aggression, calculated defense, or long-range control, Nephelem empowers you to fight your way.

Embrace Virtues and Face the Consequences of Vices

As you uncover lost knowledge from the Nephelem Order, you'll gain access to Virtues: powerful modifiers that dramatically shape your build each run.

Each Virtue category influences your character in distinct and meaningful ways, encouraging new strategies and creating unique synergies. No two runs will feel the same!

But beware: the deeper you lean into certain choices, the more you're tempted by Vices. These twisted reflections of Virtues may offer seductive power, but always come with a cost.

Defy Death and Grow Stronger With Every Run

Each run in Nephelem takes you through a sequence of handcrafted areas, selected at random to create fresh challenges and encounters every time you play. The layout, enemies, and rewards shift, encouraging adaptation and experimentation towards victory.

But if you fall in battle, not all is lost! As a Nephelem warrior, death is merely a setback, a chance to learn, adapt, and return stronger. Use the resources you gather to enhance your character, unlock new weapons, and push deeper into the afterlife with each attempt.

Create Your Hero and Choose How You Face the Afterlife

Craft a hero that resonates with you, from their appearance to the way they fight. Whether you prefer to face the mysteries of the afterlife alone or alongside a friend, Nephelem offers a full experience in both solo and online co-op modes.
