Getica is a project that includes two 3D, third person, single player RPGs. The foundation of the games is formed by the classic concepts of the RPG: assuming a role in a story, developing the playing character, becoming part of a class, solving quests, acquiring items and special abilities. To this skeleton, Getica adds a special approach of the magic powers available in the game and a dynamic, real-time combat system, which will emphasize both the character's power and the player's skill. The main character is part of a living world, and his passage produces visible changes. Our goal is to give the player the sensation that he's acting inside a real world that follows its own ways, and that his mere presence can disturb the delicate and long before established relations that hold together the parts of this breathing system.

The action in Getica takes place during the golden ages of the Dacian civilization. The Dacians - also known as the Getae, thus the name Getica - were the most important and well organized of the thracian peoples. The Thracians were one of the oldest European civilizations; at the peak of their power, they occupied over half the Europe and some territories in the Middle East.

The player will get in contact with the mythology and spirituality of the Getae, and will be able to observe the relations and the influences between this civilization and the rest of the ancient european cultures: the Celts, the Norse, the Greeks and the Romans. The adventure begins in a crucial moment for the Getae's history in particular, but also for the rest of the contemporary peoples in a broader context. The player will represent the values and the interests of the Getae in this critical moment and will be responsible for the communication between them and the rest of the cultures.
