What is ēvolūTiō?
Gameplay loop
Story
In this city of secrets, identity is fluid, hidden behind masks. As the main character, your quest unravels not only the mysteries of the panopticon-like prison but also your own identity. Charlemagne, a mysterious figure, holds sway over Waglin's fate, manipulating forces from the shadows.
The game seamlessly integrates main plot details with side missions, urging players to explore the intricacies of Waglin. Uncover the secrets behind the masks, wield your DNA's unique ability, and navigate the web of intrigue.
ēvolūTiō promises an immersive experience, where every choice shapes the destiny of the city. Peel away the masks, embrace the shadows, and unravel Waglin's mysteries.
YOU
In ēvolūTiō, you are not bound by the body you were born into. As the story unfolds, the player unlocks the rare ability to shift their race at will, adapting to the challenges ahead both in combat and conversation.
Each race in the world offers more than aesthetic change — it redefines how others treat you, what areas you can access, and how you fight. Need to pass through a heavily-guarded mine? Shift into a pigfolk laborer. Facing aerial ambushes? Take the form of a batkin, and glide above danger.
World
Step into a fantastical realm reminiscent of Italy during the Renaissance, yet distinctly its own. This alternate world draws inspiration from the historical elegance of Renaissance Italy.
Picture grand cities adorned with intricate architecture, bustling marketplaces filled with mystical wares, and a landscape where magic seamlessly intertwines with the tapestry of daily life. In this unique setting, expect a fusion of rich cultural influences, fantastical creatures, and the allure of arcane wonders that transport you beyond the boundaries of both history and imagination.
CHARACTERS

In the fractured world of ēvolūTiō, seven unlikely figures are drawn together by chance, conflict, and the pull of something greater. Each carries their own past, their own wounds — and their own reason to fight.
These are not heroes chosen by prophecy.
They’re mercenaries, outcasts, revolutionaries, and survivors.
But together, they might just reshape the world.
