# 🌌 Veilbound: Chronicles of the Arcanum

An isekai-inspired RPG survival experience where magic is both your greatest weapon and the cause of the world’s downfall.

The overworld is shattered, torn apart by unstable rifts. You awaken with nothing but fragments of memory—and a familiar spirit bound to your soul. Together, you must gather lost glyphs, pierce the mysterious Veil, and confront the horrors that spill through the fractures.
