About the World
“Undecember” is a name of a thirteenth month in a calendar of twelve months. With the birth of the thirteenth God “Serpens,” the world of Traum is engulfed in darkness. Players will become “Rune Hunters” to stop the Evil God Serpens from resurrecting, but at the same time face the grim fate that getting rid of Serpens will also bring the demise of the other twelve good gods.
UNDECEMBER’s Goals
- Anytime and Anywhere – As a Multiplatform game, UNDECEMBER will support cross-play between mobile and PC.
- Pleasure of Control – UNDECEMBER values immersive experience and the excitement of control that players will get from playing. There will be no auto-play in UNDECEMBER.

UNDECEMBER’s character build system will be simple and intuitive, allowing players to build and customize their characters in their own playstyles at ease.

Targeting has become more accurate, and for better fast-paced action, the team increased the overall movement speed and decreased skill cool down.
