Hello friends. This is a Let’s Play video of “The Necromancer’s Tale”. A story-rich gothic RPG. Master the rituals of an ancient spellbook. Raise an undead army to march against your enemies. Commune with the realm of the dead & struggle with your descent into madness. Progress through secrecy, diplomacy, blackmail, coercion & seduction until ready to reveal yourself.
As a seasoned gamer who’s rolled through every generation—from the humble pixels of the Atari to today’s sprawling RPG epics—The Necromancer’s Tale feels like discovering a lost relic of CRPG gold. Set in a richly re-imagined 18th‑century Adriatic realm, it fuses a 400,000‑word narrative and over 180 hand‑drawn characters with the moral weight of Disco Elysium, the tactical grit of Baldur’s Gate 3, and a blood-soaked gothic aesthetic reminiscent of Diablo. Rather than merely wield sorcery, you live the decay—you negotiate, seduce, blackmail, raise the dead, and spiral toward madness as your choices alter trust, power, and fate. A haunting journey into necromantic ambition that challenges both mind and morality, lingering long after the final ritual is cast.
