Edge Of Eternity is an RPG that will lead you to experience a unique and unusual universe, a world whose design combines futuristic influences, best Japanese RPGs influences and Medieval age influences.

The end of peace for the world of Heryon has come to the edge. An alien civilization has invaded the world to conquer everything, and enslave anyone that would step into their ways, spreading chaos and death through a virus that turns people and animals into metal monsters.

Daryon, the hero, is forced to leave after being haunted by his kind now turned into monsters. Left to the unknown, he decides to throws himself into a crusade of freedom and bravery, to save his world and discover his real origins. His devotion to the world of Heryon will lead him in an adventure he never expected.

200 years ago, a major event sealed the destiny of Heryon. The population and institutions were all sitting around the Crystals, elements that shaped the very deep roots of Heryon, such as the way to do war, the way they live and interact. Thanks to mutual understanding and dissuasion, the 3 continents forming Heryon kept peace in order for more than 80 years. But the time has changed.

What they used to consider as a blessing turned into a curse, and Crystals opened a breach to other worlds, turning peace into war and death. The crystals became dreadful weapons, greedily desired by every nations who fought to get them all, and when everything could have been different, the illusions and promises of power led the nation to abandon peace to throw themselves into death rage and horror.

18 774 GY (Galactic year) marked an important point, as a vessel coming from space did land in the harbor of Junor city. As the news spread quickly through the city, doubts and questions grew even faster as no one ever saw anyone coming out of the ship, which remained closed from the beginning to the end.

18 776 GY, as the city was starting to get used to the presence of this vessel, the most unexpected began. Taking off to the top of Junor, the vessel drastically destroyed the city and lands around. Not a warning neither a sign was to be understood.


Edge of Eternity has released its 4th major story chapter, The Man Who Survived the Corrosion, as part of a major new Steam Early Access update.

The update includes around 8 hours of new story-expanding content, with the centrepiece being the major new sci-fi city hub of Tyr Caelum. The update will also include a host of other new locations like a jungle area, a refugee village, a new dungeon (The Junkyard) and heaps of side-quests, bringing the world of Heryon to richer life than ever before. 

New Features:

  • Up to 8 new hours of gameplay and story content:A lot of new quests await in this chapter. Some with surprises - but all with rewards! You might want to exert your best judgement in some of them, though. New weapons - including legendary, unique items. The Dead Man's Grip, Coruscantis, The fabled Golden Pardon... Will you be able to find them all?
  • New playable character “Ysoris”:Recruit Ysoris, the only man known to have survived the Corrosion. His wit is as dry as the bottom of his bottles - stay clear of the path of destruction he carves as he wieild his trusty scythe "Good Ol' Rightie" into battle!
  • New Major City : Tyr Caelum: The City of Technomages - built into the gigantic wreckage of an Archelite Spaceship, a community of wizards and scientists delve into the forbidden secrets of alien technology.
    Far from being a technological utopia, Tyr-Caelum is not the paradise every refugee hoped it would be. Many people there struggle with the inevitable fallouts that goes with living in a city infested with mysterious technology.
  • New Area : Heretic’s Trail: The ominous jungle surrouding Tyr-Caelum is full of peril - coming in the form of Nepentha et Red Widows - terrible monsters who spawns by dozens everytime one of their egg hatches. Who knows what kind of meat the Widowling will crave once they are finished devouring their own mother? Needless to say, be careful - you might even find a village over there, hidden in the treetops.
  • New Dungeon : Junkyard: A dangerous "no-man's zone" where only but the bravest - or hungriest - scavengers dare to go. Many dangerous broken machines there. Warmachines, that could spring alive at the mere touch of an unwary boot.
  • Weapon changes: We changed the way that weapon levels work, weapons now will only gain minor stats by leveling but now levels are used to unlock crystal slots in the tree so when you find a new weapon tiers it’s always stronger than the previous one.
  • Characters scene system:A new feature (still-in-development) where you will be able to explore the lore of Heryon, watch the members of the group discuss with each other and strengthen their bonds at the inn or a campfire!
  • Wakeup Hour: By sleeping in an inn, you can now decide the moment you will wake up - Now you can enjoy sunrises and sunsets at will!
  • Improved secondary quests dialogs staging: New dynamic camera system will now make scenes during sidequests more dynamics, allowing you to see the character speaking between themselves - as well as the gorgeous vista behind them.

If you’ve been waiting to try Edge of Eternity on its journey through Early Access, now is a great time to jump in, with around 25 hours worth of JRPG action to dig into.

All owners of Edge of Eternity will receive this fourth major update for free. 

Nothing but desolation and horror rained over the people of Junor, which was now forced to leave their native land, forming by now the Nomads of Junor.

Incomprehension and fear marked a decisive point in their history, and from this moment technology was prohibited.

Daryon and Salvia share a common burden: a jewel. A necklace made of Crystal and mechanic part, proof of technology. Something happened the first time they crossed their paths in the little village of Elon, and as they felt closer, destiny sealed their fates. Sentenced to death by the Consortium judge, under the law that prohibited the use of any form of technology, Daryon and Salvia suddenly realized their fates were to become one and only.

Although it was the first time they met, they suddenly felt bounded, and joined their forces to escape the Consortium. They began a journey together, both burned by the desire to understand the origins of the world and finally figure out why they had these necklaces, and why they could not be removed. Meanwhile, the situation on Heryon was getting worse as the days went by. The metal disease did spread on the Astryan continent and animals started to turn into hybrid mechanic monsters. Nobody seemed to realize how big the danger was. Until the world started to fall into the void of carnage. Will you set them alive? Save them. Save the world, the universe, your life, and discover your origins in an odyssey you have never seen before. Explore the world in a corrupted medieval atmosphere and discover the deep secrets of the space, to finally seal your destiny in death or endless hope.
