Today, I’m introducing Querent, a tactical RPG developed by Turn Da Page, set in a post-apocalyptic desert landscape inspired by the American Southwest. Players will find themselves rallying the small town of Sunset Junction to survive a haunting threat: hypnotic creatures controlled by a dark force beneath the town.
In Querent, you take on the role of an exile, customizing your character’s appearance and abilities while building a unique deck for each party member. Combat is turn-based, with decks constructed from six suits that define your character’s skills—whether it’s tapping into nature, showing grit, or boosting allies with wit.
The game’s standout feature is its mesmeric abilities, allowing players to break through barriers and free creatures from hypnosis. Building relationships with diverse exiles is crucial to strengthening your group, as every character brings unique talents to the table.
Querent also promises flexibility in problem-solving, and creative combinations of skills and allies are encouraged. Though the game isn’t available yet, it’s set to release in 2027. Below is an overview via Steam, screens and trailer.
