The King of Shades has cursed the great city of Icenaire. Now cast under a permanent blight of frost fall, its former residents have returned from the dead as mad Wraiths. Survivors take refuge deep underground where they lead a desperate campaign against this unearthly power. Woefully outmatched, they are forced into hiding as the King of Shades amasses an army of the undead above them. One fateful day, a mysterious stranger appears in the city with an enchanted vambrace. Now, she may be their only hope…

Take on the role of Evelia Lyric as you embark on several expeditions that will truly test your mettle as a leader. Before departing, visit the recruiting board to assemble your team. Each member brings their unique strengths and abilities to combat and the expedition itself. Craft new items from old loot, make sure your party is properly equipped, and journey to the surface to fulfill your objectives. The path ahead will be fraught with difficulties, but every one of the game’s seven chapters offers unique challenges emphasizing different party combinations and a high level of replayability.

Lyric comes into ownership of an ancient relic known as the Aetherbrace, after her father’s passing. She then embarks from the human realm of Edena on an expedition into the frigid, Dwarven kingdom of Dokkheim. It is there she hopes to find answers that may reveal more about the strange artifact and her father’s mysterious past.

The surface of Icenaire is cold and unforgiving, so you will need to use every advantage you can muster to survive

Devespresso Games' previous title, indie horror title The Coma: Recut, represents a major departure from the survival adventure mechanics of their previous title. For Vambrace, the team instead reveals a gothic fantasy tale from the minds of Minho Kim and T.L. Riven. The game features multi-class party building mechanics, punishing roguelike expeditions, and an immersive narrative with high replayability. Vambrace also boasts Minho's signature hand-illustrated graphics that is sure to please 2D and retro game enthusiasts.

Uncover the world of Vambrace: Cold Soul in a new series of trailers that showcase the roguelike fantasy-adventure’s unique systems.

Feature #1 is all about the underground enclave of Delearch which serves as the central hub for the player.

As the adventuress Evelia Lyric, you will use Dalearch as a starting point for expeditions, where you will discover quests, assemble a party, gather supplies and relics, craft items, store loot and customize Evelia. Along the way you’ll run into a colorful cast of characters that will help you along your journey.

The 3-part feature will propel you on a journey filled with memorable characters, brutal challenges, and deep strategy.
