Contract No. 001 · Soul Debt: Outstanding
A Chaotic Co-op RPG

You died. You owe. Now you're a mercenary working contracts for the Iron Ledger — and the monsters you slay become the monsters you become. Transform into powerful beasts, tear through the job, and buy your soul back out of the red.

Terms of damnation may include loot, betrayal, and an interest rate the Ledger refuses to disclose.

Terms of Service · Iron Ledger

Eternal damnation,
now hiring

An epic fantasy RPG where salvation is a payment plan and the only way to pay is by turning into something monstrous. Heroic music, crushing debt, terrible decisions.

Clause I

Sign on a crew

Run contracts solo or with a squad of four. Enemies scale, loot gets better, and your weirdest builds finally make sense when a buddy ignites half the map.

Clause II

Become what you kill

Every slain monster feeds your power. Absorb their essence, unlock new forms, and chain transformations. The more you defeat, the more monstrous you become.

Clause III

Drop in, get paid

Complete contracts, earn gold, upgrade your gear, and take on bigger, wilder missions. No classes, no levels — your power is the monsters you master.
