Here is an overview of the game and version 2.0 update, via 505 Games:
About
Play as Aran de Lira, the last warrior able to forge true steel in a world where metal turns to stone. Survival depends on patience, understanding, and commitment to the weapons you choose to create.
Combat is deliberate, weighty, and unforgiving. Weapons are forged with intent and permanently shaped by your choices. Progress comes from understanding your enemy and the blade you forged to face them.
Designed for players who value atmosphere, challenge, and consequence over speed and spectacle.
