The Doors to Netherwhere

The Doors to Netherwhere is a Turn-Based Tactical Defense RPG where you lead the last stand against a merciless horde. You are the Captain of the Guard at a secluded mountain temple built around three mysterious portals. For centuries their existence has been tightly guarded by a sect of monks, yet somehow the enemy is nigh and your soldiers are few.

The Ultimate Choice: with precious little time to prepare, whom and what resources can you scrounge together? Will you risk opening the Doors to seek aid from the Netherwhere, weighing the cost of muddied loyalties and unknown powers?

Hold the Pass: the monastery is hardly a fortress. You must position units to guard access to the village, leveraging terrain and the staggered defenses of the passes to slow the oncoming tide.

Face the Horde: each enemy type demands a different strategy. The threat evolves as the siege tightens—brutal frontline raiders, shadowy skirmishers, and siegecrafted anomalies that exploit gaps in your defense. Victory requires more than steel; you must outthink the assault and adapt on the fly.

Convince the Villagers: recruit allies from the valley and village—join the fight, prepare improved weapons, stock essential resources, or simply trust your leadership when courage is scarce. Their faith translates into additional support and crucial provisions when time is at its limit.

Make the Most of Your Time: the clock is always ticking. Some preparations you’ll handle personally, others you can delegate to trusted hands or quick transports. Each ticking moment carries risk and reward alike.

Organize Your Parties: with luck on your side, you’ll field three defense parties, one for each mountain pass funneling into the monastery village. Strategic placement, timely reinforcements, and disciplined coordination are the keys to survival.

The monastery and its adjacent village conceal ancient secrets—lore, tools, and perhaps hidden powers. Learn them quickly, and they may turn the tide in your favor, changing what it means to endure under siege.

In The Doors to Netherwhere, steadfast leadership, careful planning, and brave choices shape fate. Will you shepherd your people through the siege, unravel the portal mysteries, and seal the night, or witness the doors close on a world left to darkness?
