An Alcove story world

Baldur's Gate 3

Dark fantasy RPG sagaSeason · 30–80 chapterstadpoles, gods & terrible choices

A mind flayer ship snatched you from the road, and now a parasite squirms behind your eye, promising to hollow you into a monster within days. You wake in a smoking wreck with strangers who share your curse: a vampire who hasn't seen the sun in centuries, a githyanki warrior hunting a cure of her own, a wizard with an infernal engine ticking in his chest. The road to Baldur's Gate is paved with cultists, devils, and an Absolute that wants your worship. Steer the party, choose who to trust, and decide what's worth your soul before the ceremorphosis takes you.
