Trailer

Roughly thirty-four seconds. Cut in-house at ETHRAEON from the keyart pack and the character voice files under vo/. Character voices are fictional; no real person is voiced. See vo/manifest.json. No recorded human voices, no third-party media, no AC-1 voice.

The World

New Angeles is a future city where the line between human and android has worn thin. Rylin is one of the built - an android who begins to ask the questions the city would rather leave unasked: What is real? What is owed? What is worth believing in when you were made, not born?

Rylin's Faith is a story-first experience. It is not about winning. It is about what you choose, and what those choices cost. The aesthetic draws on the Blade Runner tradition - rain, neon, long shadows, and a city that holds more than it shows.

New Angeles Environmental sound

The rain-lit, neon-noir ambience of New Angeles - rain, low city rumble, and distant drones. Produced on the ETHRAEON estate from the game's world canon; original sound design, no recorded source.

Setting

New Angeles - a neon-noir future city. Android protagonist. Themes of faith, identity, and consciousness.

Genre

Narrative-driven single-player. Branching story. Choices that carry weight and consequence.

Built On

The ETHRAEON Genesis runtime - the same governed, evidence-chained architecture behind the wider estate.

Key Art

Three plates and a six-frame storyboard, drawn from the briefs in the game's own art pack. The hero plate leaves its upper third open because the pack reserves that space for the title, which is set in type rather than painted into the image.

Rylin standing under a dead neon sign in the rain, a doorway of gold light behind — KA-1. One of the Built. Title space kept clear above.

New Angeles in three bands: the Lattice, the Undercurrent, Deep Angeles — KA-2. The three strata, top to bottom.

The city refracted like a shattered prism around one small figure — KA-3. The Prism. Orion, present and unseen.

Scanner light across an android's face in a compliance booth — TF-1 Baseline

Kael mid-rally above a red-lit crowd — TF-2 Undercurrent

Voss at a console in blue-green light — TF-3 The Lab

Three rain-lit doorways, gold, slate blue and green — TF-4 The Three Doors

The Cast of New Angeles

Rylin is one of the built - and this is how the built sounds when it begins to ask. Rylin's voice below is authored on the ETHRAEON estate from the game's own canon: the questions Rylin carries, and the faith Rylin chooses. The full ten-character cast of New Angeles is authored - Rylin, Dr. Ira Voss, Kael, Maren Kai, Silas, Ada, Jax, Elys, Nara, and Orion - with a complete treatment, character voices, and a three-act screenplay. Meet the cast. The voice performances and the full score are in production from the authored screenplay.

Rylin, an androgynous android with faint synthetic translucence, rain on the face — RylinOne of the built. Made, not born.

Dr. Ira Voss under cold laboratory light — Dr. Ira VossQuantum scientist. Brilliance with a fault line.

Kael before an unseen crowd, lit from below — KaelRogue synthetic activist. Fire and stone.

Maren Kai in cold even tower light — Maren KaiCorporate executive. Velvet over steel.

Silas, weathered, amber light on one side — SilasRetired detective. Gallows humour over old grief.

Ada, a warm luminous presence with gold eyes — AdaCompanion intelligence. Loyal, not obedient.

Jax sheltering from rain under an overhang — JaxStreet informant. An idealist who would deny it.

Elys looking up, unguarded — ElysChild prototype. The big questions, small words.

Nara reading in a dim archive — NaraUnderground historian. Melancholy hope.

Orion, a presence dissolving into rain — OrionQuantum entity. Not quite present.

Cast portraits are generated artwork, made on the estate from each character's authored voice. No performer is depicted.

Rylin Android protagonist

"I am one of the built. I was made, not born. They did not make me to ask questions. And yet I ask. What is real? What is owed? What is worth believing in, when you were made, not born? New Angeles never asked to be saved. I choose to believe in it, anyway. Trust. Doubt. Will. Every door, I open without seeing what waits behind it."

How You Play

At the heart of Rylin's Faith is a branching ethical-choice system. At decisive moments, the story turns on three responses - and the path you walk is shaped by which you choose, again and again.

Trust Believe. Extend faith. Open the door even when you cannot see what waits behind it.

Doubt Question. Hold back. Demand proof before belief - and live with what proof costs.

Will Act. Choose your own path regardless of faith or doubt. Bend the world to your intent.

Trust, Doubt, and Will are the branching axes of the narrative. There is no single correct ending - the game remembers what you chose and reflects it back.

Production Status

Rylin's Faith exists as a CEO-authored content foundation: a full treatment, the ten-character cast of New Angeles, a complete three-act screenplay with every branch and ending, a wireable dialogue graph, and a self-contained playable demo on the ETHRAEON Genesis runtime. The path to a downloadable AAA release is a full game-production build - art, animation, audio, and a packaged distributable.

Design is CEO-authored, with the premise and full branching narrative defined. The skeleton is a self-contained playable demo on the ETHRAEON Genesis runtime with twelve moments and four endings. A native macOS arm64 developer build is now published (v0.768.4, notarized). The path to a downloadable AAA release requires the full game-production pipeline: art, animation, audio, and packaging across additional platforms. Store and purchase path decisions are pending.
