About Tideforge
Long description
Tideforge is a moody coastal-fantasy action RPG about salvage, survival, and the quiet mysteries left behind when the tide never returns.
Set along a coastline the sea has abandoned, Tideforge sends players across exposed seabeds, salt flats, ruined harbors, stranded shipwrecks, and weathered settlements still holding together after the world changed shape. The game is built around readable action, deliberate exploration, salvage-driven tools, and an atmosphere of melancholy resilience.
Irontide Studio is developing Tideforge as an original world with a strong visual identity: weathered iron, sea-teal accents, fog, salt, practical objects, and places marked by the memory of water.
