Plot and world
*Entropy* takes place in a world that is not destroyed by apocalypse but gradually dies due to time and inexplicable infertility. The main threat is demons invading Earth.

The protagonist is an actor whose theatrical career is suddenly interrupted by monster attacks. Players must assemble a squad of six travelers and embark on an expedition through the ruined world to stop the demonic invasion.

Gameplay
- Tactical turn‑based battles in the style of classic JRPGs.
- Encounters with unique creatures and original challenges.
- Treasure hunting and character development.

Thus, *Entropy* promises to combine classic turn‑based gameplay with an engaging survival story set in a world where time and land themselves become enemies. Keep an eye on updates – August 18 2026 will be the first opportunity to dive into this “hellish” RPG.
