Far beyond the world and its petty wars there exists a dimension of pure, malevolent magic: The Realm of Chaos. It is a terrible place, incomprehensible to the mortal mind. It whispers promises of power, but to behold it is to be seduced by it. To relinquish your soul to it. To become it.

On reception: its Steam reviews are mostly positive, against very positive for Door Kickers.

Released 8 years after Door Kickers.
