Project Atral: The Riddle of Durendare

The development of this project can continue now, but in a lower pace. I am still recovering from the surgery.

Current Build: Alpha V2.0

🛠 This is a solo project, developed with love and limited resources.
Please understand: there is no fixed schedule, no deadlines. I work when health, energy and life allow it – and always with care. If I need a break, I’ll simply let you know.

🤖 AI-assisted
Some textures or base models were created with AI tools and then carefully optimized, reworked or replaced by hand. Think of it as using a hammer or brush – tools that help, but don’t replace my effort. These AI images are mostly meant as placeholders.

I’m building this game not for profit, but for passion. I want to offer something fresh to people who love mystery, storytelling and horses.
If that sounds like you – welcome to Project Atral.

2084 - A young man wakes up without memories as a ghost on the abandoned island Atral whose once proud buildings are now overgrown with ivy and rust. Mikhal sets out to discover the truth about the mysterious disappearance of the Durendare family, who once lived on the island. What happened to the inhabitants?

The only survivors are the feral horses, descendants of the noble breeding that was nurtured by the Durendare family. These animals hold the keys to the island's dark secrets. As Mikhal roams the ruins, he must put together the pieces of his lost memories and uncover the terrible fate of the Durendares.

Can you uncover the mysterious events and solve the riddle of the Durendare family before oblivion devours the last truth?

The first release of the project will be a closed alpha for playtesters, who will get a key. Then a closed beta follows, again for playtesters. The open beta will be playable for everyone.
