Mantradox Untitled Is the Bold, Solo‑Dev Mythic RPG You’ll Want on Your 2028 Radar

BadAlias, the solo developer behind the atmospheric Steam hit Moon River, just announced his next project with Canadian publisher 2 Left Thumbs… and it’s a leap from intimate narrative RPG to full‑blown mythic adventure.

Mantradox Untitled on Steam

In a new RPG from the developer of Moon River, you are a doctor called to investigate a mysterious illness from the other side of the world. Featuring a deep story, fast turn-based combat, and reassignable classes, you must cleanse the holy city, and discover the devastating truth behind the plague.

You’re a doctor in a holy city… and the plague is only the beginning

Mantradox Untitled casts you as a doctor called across the world to investigate a mysterious illness. Your mission: cleanse the holy city and uncover the devastating truth behind the plague.

The pitch leans hard into lore and systems that reward experimentation:

• A word‑powered world where common people harness the same “words of power” once used to create the world itself.
• A wide, varied cast with their own stories… some will align with you, others will clash, shifting between friend and opponent as the narrative unfolds.
• Fast, tactical turn‑based combat with no party support. You fight to the end alone, which pushes every decision in battle to matter.
• The Zodiac Alignment system lets you reassign classes and stat scaling on the fly for flexible builds.
• Healing is intentionally uncommon. “Sap” must be earned in battle and refined to recover lost health, making resource management part of the core loop.

From 98% positive Moon River to a paid 2028 release

Moon River, released earlier this year (a free atmospheric narrative RPG) on Steam, currently sits at 98% positive from over 200 reviews… a strong signal that BadAlias knows how to craft mood, pacing, and player trust.

Mantradox Untitled's pricing is still undecided, and interested players can look forward to news on playtests and demos later, with a launch in 2028.

If Moon River showed restraint and atmosphere, Mantradox Untitled looks like the same designer stretching into systemic depth… solo combat that demands planning, a class‑swapping Zodiac system, and a world where language itself is power. For players who love lore‑rich settings and build flexibility without a safety net of party heals, this is absolutely one to bookmark for 2028.
