AnimaLight

The KIN is a dark fantasy world born from The Confluence, a cataclysmic event that blended the world of modern humans and a mysterious realm. Ruined cities meet haunted wildernesses, as advanced technology collides with untamed magic. Survivors—humans, corrupted elves, adapted dwarves—search and fight against mutated horrors and ancient evils. This brutal world blurs the boundaries of reality, forcing everyone to confront the true meaning of "kin."
