Kings of Lorn: The Fall of Ebris

About

Kings of Lorn: The Fall of Ebris is a first-person RPG with survival horror elements set in a decaying dark fantasy world. You take on the role of Farren, a king who follows his regent’s cryptic advice to purify a plague-ridden realm by reactivating ancient Spires. After years of treacherous travel across crumbling kingdoms, you return to find your home destroyed and reality figuring out. Progression hinges on exploration, resource gathering, and navigating hostile environments as the world itself seems to resist your return. The game stands out for its bleak atmosphere and deliberate pacing, with hand-crafted environments that lean into isolation and unease. While some players found the survival mechanics repetitive, others highlighted the unsettling art style and the weight of its narrative choices. Available since 2019 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, it’s a solitary experience where the consequences of trust and ambition linger in a world that feels both familiar and alien.

Storyline

The world of Lera has fallen ill to an unstoppable plague and as the King of Ebris, you – Farren – frantically seek a way to bring an end to your people’s suffering in Ena: The Kingdom Above All Kingdoms. And to rid your world of this illness once and for all. In the weakness of your distress, your Regent – Gulbrand – speaks to you a tale of hope, a way to purify the world by means of the Spires and the extraordinary resources that await beyond the realms. Desperate for answers, you leave Gulbrand in charge of your kingdom to trek out to the other six Kingdoms of Lera and reopen the Spires; the other kings willing or not. You succeed in your endeavor, however with the reopening of the last Spire… something is wrong. The world begins to fall apart, the heavens turn dark and the oceans go dry. In the aftermath of your deeds, you find yourself stranded in the middle of a deteriorating world, only thoughts of worry to comfort you, as you trek onward to get back to your kingdom. The journey back takes you three years. And when you arrive… you do not recognize your own kingdom.
