Carnal Instinct plunges players into a myth-shrouded world where the vanished God-Queen Kethra’s legacy fuels a brutal power struggle among eight demigods. Unearth ancient secrets, wield divine influence, and determine Sabu’s fate amid shifting alliances and blood-soaked chaos.
Mythic World & Narrative Depth
1. Traverse the desolate ruins of Sabu, where the Euphoris River’s dwindling waters symbolize the gods’ waning grace. Explore sacred sites like the Sunken Temple and the Ashen Citadel, each holding clues to Kethra’s disappearance.
2. Encounter the eight demigods—each with distinct domains (e.g., fire, trickery, decay)—who clash over control. Some whisper prayers for Kethra’s return; others scheme to usurp her throne.
3. Uncover fragmented prophecies etched into crumbling tablets, revealing Kethra’s warning: if her spirit isn’t restored, Sabu will drown in eternal drought or collapse into divine war.
Dynamic Combat & Strategy
1. Engage in fluid, turn-based battles where positioning and elemental magic (water, sand, shadow) dictate victory. Neutralize enemies by exploiting their divine weaknesses—e.g., scorching fire-worshipers with water-based attacks.
2. Forge temporary pacts with demigods for powerful boons, but tread carefully: loyalty shifts can trigger backstabbing mid-battle. Sacrifice your party members to appease gods temporarily, or risk betrayal.
3. Command hybrid units—a mix of mortal warriors and god-touched beasts—to overwhelm foes. Deploy “divine surges” to temporarily empower allies, but overuse drains your avatar’s vitality.
Role-Playing & Moral Choices
1. Shape Sabu’s future by deciding Kethra’s fate: revive her to restore balance, destroy her to claim godhood, or let the demigods’ war consume the land. Each path unlocks unique endings and lore.
2. Negotiate with villagers trapped between warring gods, offering protection in exchange for resources. Your decisions spark rumors that can sway public loyalty—and attract divine retribution.
3. Customize your avatar using relics scavenged from temples, merging mortal and divine traits. A warrior with a serpent’s speed but a heart of sand may become a feared warlord—or a fragile conduit for Kethra’s wrath.
