I have been quiet on the updates lately to try and really iron out the big details for Guild Of The Small (previously named Cloak). And I'm quite happy to share much of the bigger parts of it here!
What in a name?
Cloak has been renamed to Guild Of The Small. A more catchy, interesting name that I hope will evoke both the story and the multiplayer aspects of the game.
Story Overview
How are spells created? With research and experiment, of course.
A mage's experiment with a new shrinking spell has unintended consequences, succeeding yet also trapping the subject within the pages of a book. Can you navigate the dangers within each page to make it out alive, save the others fallen victim to his madness, and build a coalition to return to normal?
