Press kit

Arelite Core bridges the gap between traditional and modern JRPGs, bringing new concepts to tried and true designs and presented with high-definition retro inspired graphics.

Arelite, a legendary metal believed to have a connection with the world of the dead itself. Long sought by blacksmiths to fashion weapons of the greatest caliber, arelite eventually faded away from the world, becoming only a myth passed down from generation to generation.

Follow the adventures of Karden, a blacksmith on the path to mastering his craft, forced to take a stand against Talameq, an ageless entity bent on devouring the world. Journey across the world and find allies in your fight against darkness while fending off Talameq's disciples.

The world awaits, are you ready to forge your legacy?

Dragon Slumber was founded in early 2013 to work on Arelite Core. The company is composed of a single member, Kevin Giguère, who fills in most of the roles necessary for proper game creation, from writing and design, to programming, to production and marketing. Further work such as visuals and music composition is done contractually.

Our mission is simple: provide the deep and complete gaming experiences through storytelling and novel gameplay, without compromising quality. We prefer to produce complete games rather than episodic experiences, and we strive to fill them with content, rather than forcing redundant grinding. And rather than telling the players how to enjoy our games, we let them tell us what they would like to see.
