About Legendum
Each life starts with an origin, a farmhand or scholar in the demo, and a daily schedule to manage: study at dawn, work the fields, unwind at the tavern. Combat is idle horde fighting as a knight, ranger or wizard, with your build and gear deciding the outcome. As the years pass your body slows but your skills stay, and when a life ends you begin again with the world remembering what you did.

What sets it apart is the chronicle, a branching web of places, people and secrets that works as the skill tree, and a multi-generation plot that each life peels back a little further. Commenters praise the writing and the visual polish for the genre. It is for players who like incrementals with story and texture rather than bare numbers; it is a demo, still in development, with frequent updates.
