Tactical expeditions
Grid combat built around readable unit roles, positioning, and the tension of pushing deeper with less to work with.
In Development • PocketLore Studios
Your army shrinks the deeper you push.
Veilkeeper is a tactical RPG built around dangerous expeditions, a living home shard, and hard choices about what you can afford to leave behind.
Temporary branding and artwork are being used while final commissioned assets are in development.
Core pillars
Each layer stands on its own, but each one also feeds the next: tactical combat, shard growth, campaign pressure, and eventually community play.
The home shard
Return to a growing refuge between raids. Build, improve, and shape the place your people choose to call home.
Relay-based campaigns
Extend your reach through dangerous territory, hold the chain together, and decide which nodes are worth defending.
Community layer
Viewer characters, stream events, and shared involvement are planned as an additive layer rather than a requirement.

What Veilkeeper is aiming for
Veilkeeper is built around the tension between presence and absence. You build something, you leave, the world keeps moving, and the choices you made before leaving determine what you come back to.
The project is currently in active development, with temporary branding and concept art in use while final assets are commissioned.
