No Rest for the Wicked

No Rest for the Wicked is a visceral, precision-based action RPG developed by Moon Studios, set in a dark fantasy world where political chaos and a deadly plague threaten the kingdom.

The story begins in the year 841, following the death of King Harol, which plunges the realm into conflict as rival factions fight for control. At the same time, a mysterious plague known as the Pestilence resurfaces, corrupting everything it touches. Players take on the role of a Cerim—an elite holy warrior tasked with eradicating this growing threat while navigating a deeply complex political landscape on the island of Isola Sacra.

Blending brutal, skill-based combat with a hand-crafted world and mature storytelling, the game delivers a unique isometric soulslike experience. With its 1.0 release, it expands into a full-featured adventure that includes cooperative multiplayer, deeper progression systems, and a complete narrative arc built around player-driven exploration and choice.
