Bloodweight is a systemic gothic tragedy about entropy, inheritance, and the literal weight of history. You are the Ancestor — the collective memory of a bloodline. Guide your dynasty through 100 generations of triumph, ruin, and the slow accumulation of history's weight.
Every heir acts on their own personality. Every famine traces back to a specific choice. Every chronicle reads like a dark historical artifact. Bloodweight is a narrative generator that proves your failures are your own fault.

About adarkfable
adarkfable is one developer building Bloodweight from scratch. No backing, no investors — just the conviction that deep systemic games can come from anywhere. Published author, self-taught programmer, and the unglamorous hours of debugging serializers, balancing resource curves, and writing 500 tests to make sure the genetics engine doesn't lie.
