Take control of the Ankou, servant of death and the last person to die during the year, in An Ankou, an adventure inspired by the legends of Breton folklore. The Ankou’s task is to guide the souls of the deceased towards eternal rest: a mission that may seem simple, but one that is severely complicated by armies of vicious and powerful demons and bosses. To survive, the Ankou must gather resources, craft powerful items, and complete optional challenges and random events.
The game combines intense combat, strategic exploration, and a dynamic progression system that brings each adventure into a constantly shifting state. Hostile demon armies roam these spectral lands, and their numbers grow as your power increases. You can choose between two playable classes: the Soldier and the Healer, which correspond to the profession you performed before becoming the Ankou. Each class is defined by unique abilities and equipment. During the early access period additional classes will be released, to provide a dynamic and ever-changing gameplay experience.
