Celestial Returnthrows players into Netherveil, a rain-soaked cyberpunk city haunted by cosmic horrors and ruled by megacorps. Celestial Return is a story-driven RPG where dice are your bullets, your bribes, and your last breath. Loot, gamble, and survive a reality-crumbling city. Uncover cosmic horrors, outwit corrupted megacorps, and pray your next roll isn't your last.

A dying city. A string of suicides. A detective with nothing left to lose.

Netherveil City eats the weak. Its streets bleed neon, its corpses crawl back to life, and its secrets? They'll gnaw through your sanity.  Step into the worn boots of Detective Howard. Armed with a rusted badge, a sentient rose that won't shut up, and a pocketful of stolen dice.

Explore the city. Interrogate the dead. Expose the c*rpos.
Investigate. Make choices. Loot the dice. Roll the dice.
And survive. (Optional.)

Developer Metaphor Games has launched a Kickstarter campaign, looking to raise $5,000.

"We’ve always been passionate about crafting experiences that combine storytelling depth with player agency. With Celestial Return, we’re bringing the same care and creativity that defined our board games into the digital space," said Kerem Akman, Partner and Creative Director at Metaphor Games. "Our community has helped us bring multiple projects to life through Kickstarter, and we are excited to embark on this journey together once again."

No stranger to Kickstarter success, the team has run multiple highly successful crowdfunding campaigns, including several award-winning tabletop games that have shipped worldwide to thousands of backers - from Historica Arcanum and Astra Arcanum. Each campaign has not only met but exceeded its funding goals, cementing Metaphor Games’ reputation as a studio that delivers on its promises with high-quality design, storytelling, and production value.

With Celestial Return, the studio is expanding its vision into video games, combining its proven Kickstarter expertise with a bold new creative direction in the digital gaming world.

Key Features:

• Dice aren't just tools. They’re oxygen. Earn 'em, spend 'em, lose 'em. Hoard too long, and opportunities vanish. Roll recklessly, and resources burn.There’s no perfect build. No power fantasies. Just survival... barely.
• Your choices build character. Your character builds choices. Intelligence picks locks in silence. Virtue pleads for mercy. Foolishness laughs at the abyss. These fragments clash, corrupt, and rewrite your path mid-conversation. Choose your poison and deal with the consequences.
• A hand-shattered art style. Where manga’s precision meets the raw nerve of American comics.Ripping pages from legends like Blame!, Biomega, Akira, and Berserk. Our artistry aims to evoke the same depth and intensity that made these series iconic.
• Gear up for an auditory assault. Noir Jazz, Cyberpunk Techno, Death Metal. This isn't background noise. This is sonic warfare.
• This isn't a story about heroes. It’s a manifesto for the forgotten, the erased, the expendable, those never given a chance. It’s about those who were never meant to survive, yet somehow still do. It’s about the existential terror of being alive in a world ruled by forces you can’t see. It’s about resistance.

Celestial Return is in development for PC (Steam).
