Greeting and salutations, my friends! I am Sir Amadeus Drake. Welcome to the world of Ather, a place where humans live alongside great and powerful creatures known to us as Guardians. There are six countries in known Ather. Each has their own customs, their own traditions and their own views and names for the guardians. Being from Eisenheim, you will be most familiar with calling them the Tierwäch, or Tiers. Though no matter what we call them, what we have in common is our reliance on the guardians.
For as long as there has been recorded history, humans and guardians have lived alongside each other. The two entities have had nearly a symbiotic relationship. The guardians have played a significant role in the development of each nation, to varying degrees. From helping to cultivate the land, to protecting our families, and, of course, to acting as tools of war. In turn, we have given them purpose and a home as we strive to better our lives and their’s.
I am a field researcher, a Warden and Freelancer. I, like many others, seek out guardians to study and learn from and understand them in hopes of bringing humanity and guardians closer together. Of course, not many people share this sentiment. There are plenty of people out there who want to take the powers of the guardians and wage war on those who they deem as their enemy. Sadly, this has been a consistency throughout our shared history. The most recent war ended in a ceasefire only weeks ago.
The Great War, as it's being referred to, was the largest and deadliest war we have ever seen. Each nation came at each other in what could only be described as a free for all onslaught. Every nation was out for themselves and everyone was the enemy which resulted in wanton violence rampaging across the one territory that refused to fight, Tiaotzen.
The war ended in a ceasefire after one of the warring states unleashed a virus that sickened all of the guardians, resulting in all forces having to pull back. Given the grace period, all nations retreated from the central region which had been devastated by the war and returned to their respective borders to tend to their wounded and prepare for fighting to begin anew.
You are a survivor of the war and one of the last to return to our region of Eisenheim. The world is not the same one you left and the results of the war is still unknown. However, each nation has already set up a training circuit, preparing its soldiers and youth alike for future battles to come in hopes that powerful trainers will emerge. Go now, become the strongest trainer out there because the fate of man and guardian alike will be in your hands. May the Goddess light your way.

Tierwäch is a monster catcher role-playing game where the layer takes on the role of Lucas Wolfe or Sophie Kaiser, childhood friends, who have returned from the Great War. The creatures you will be encountering have been exposed to an unknown virus that has altered their biology and forced them to become anthromorphs.
You will be part of the last wave of troops returning to Eisenheim where you will be discharged from service and returned to civilian life. As the game goes on you will be opted to join the Statesmen (anti-virus) or Freelancers (pro-virus) as you go through the country's newly established training circuit.
Plans for the game:
-Extensive story line between those who support the virus and those who are against it.
-Tier number still a WIP. Currently at 112. All art is still in concept form.
-Scene numbers still a WIP.
-14 training centers with different themes and puzzles to solve. 8 medals to challenge the Officer Corps, 14 to challenge them again. Story continuation after they are defeated a second time.
-Two release types: Map pack will have basic game play elements and no story or scenes, Story pack will have all of the goodies.
-7 planned "expansions", one into each region and then a finale.
Next release: TBD. Engine still a work in progress.
