Fallen Souls

The Fallen Souls

"You were executed by hanging, condemned as another victim of possession by a corrupted aetherial soul. But unlike the countless others, you survived. Against all odds, you were given another chance to live—and to fight. Ahead of you lies a world crawling with horrors: endless undead swarms, occult cults, religious fanatics, Cthulhu-spawned abominations, and mutated monsters straight out of Lovecraft’s grim pages or the Witcher’s darkest tales. You will face almighty eldritch gods, as well as humans who delight in inflicting pain to ease their own misery.

You are no chosen hero—just another soul trying to protect family and friends, old and new. But how far will you go? Will you cling to the fragile limits of humanity, or will you reach for powers beyond human comprehension? Will you wield the corrupted strength of your enemies against them, or embrace the purifying fire of religious zealotry?

Whatever path you take, remember this: you are human. And humans are fragile. You barely survived your own execution—right now you are weaker than weak, a husk of life clinging on. Even if your will to live burns with hatred for the evil in this world, you must tread carefully until you regain at least the strength of your old self. You are not a hero—you are a fallen soul.

But within that cursed possession lies one gift: the unique potential for endless growth. If you endure, you may one day rise beyond humanity—stronger even than the transcendent beings feared by the lords of Cthulhu’s void and the eternal gods of the eldritch."

- There is a visual, hardcoded bug that I cannot fix due to my lack of programming experience. This bug does not break anything—it’s only cosmetic. It looks like this:TagNotFound Blueprint: Berserk Relic

The issue appears when the game tries to describe the type and name of a new custom relic. If written normally in words, everything displays correctly. However, because I deleted the original tag mechanic and replaced it with an absolute description, the system still generates the extra “TagNotFound” text at the start.

To fully fix this, I would need to hardcode new scripts for handling tags, the
