Before you enter.
How long is Welcome?
It is a short introductory expedition. In one creator playtest, a perfect run took about 11 minutes, and play with one loss took about 20. Reading pace, familiarity, routes and defeats affect your time; these are observations from one player.
What is included in this preview?
Turn-based card combat against one enemy at a time, three chapters, a complete ending, authored route choices, deck rewards, upgrades, shops, relics, consumable charms, companions and a discovery collection. Multiplayer, full controller support and paid episode installation are not included.
Can I reduce motion or change the audio?
Yes. Help / Comfort offers reduced motion and skippable chapter transitions. Audio has separate Master, Music, Ambience and Effects controls. Combat has no turn timer.
How was the game made?
Built with Godot through collaboration with Codex, using AUPheniX world and character direction. Illustrations were created with AI image generation. The prototype synth score and effects were created for the project; Mytho uses the original universal discovery recording. Credits and engine notices are included.
Windows preview for release testing. Broader hardware checks and final art/story review remain in progress.
