HUMANITY LOST

For the last decade the Kingdoms of Heaven and Hell have been warring for control of our mortal realm. Earth has become a battleground; scarred and broken by the constant battles raging above and below it. Our cities have been decimated, and we have not had the strength to defend our home. Until now. You, our great creations, are our only chance against the Angels and Demons that plague our world. You are the hope of the Third Kingdom.

HUMANITY LOST is an action-packed RPG of souls who give up their humanity to fight back against Armageddon. The legions of Heaven and Hell march against the last bastion of mankind, and only you can stop them. The lightweight LUMEN system is easy to pick up, quick to play, and replicates the fast-paced, combo heavy gameplay of games like Bayonetta and Darksiders.

Life Beyond Armageddon

When the seventh seal was broken, the armies of Heaven and Hell were unleashed on our world. Humanity was unprepared, outmatched, and outnumbered. Cities were razed, whole countries were burned or flooded, and the Angels and Demons fought each other with no thought for the collateral damage they caused.

Even through the fighting, we few managed to survive. Bastion is our home now, and despite its utilitarian nature we love it just the same.

We few who survived were desperate and outmatched for the last ten years; hiding and scurrying like rodents among the rubble of our former cities. Finally, we have some hope of fighting back. The VESSEL program, the culmination of our understanding of angelic and devilish science, magic, and technology, resulted in five immortal warriors with the strength, speed, and power to take on the armies ravaging our world. They represent the ingenuity, the courage, and the creativity of mankind. They are our salvation.
