Revival Overview
Revival is an upcoming Lovecraftian horror MMORPG set in a persistent universe. Rather than hot-bar combat Revival features a system akin to first-person fighting, where precision positioning, aiming, and reaction time secure victory. Players can carve out their own corner of the game's world through player housing; houses are persistent elements in the game world, leading to limited real estate spots, and ranges from small village huts to ornate mansions. An in-depth crafting system requires players to actively participate, by examining materials for quality (such as checking for blights and parasites) and actively crafting using required tools. As players interact with the world, and each other, the world grows—organically evolving in response to player deeds, and influencing subsequent events, such city expansion or the demise of a cult. To help facilitate the game's narrative GM's will play the role of heroes, villains, monsters, and gods, shaping Revival's story and directly interacting with players.
Revival Key Features:
- Dynamic Quests - active GM's will present content in reaction to player choices, leading to unpredictable dynamic events.
- Cross-platform - players will be able to access the game's world to some degree from mobile devices and tablets.
- Skill-based Combat - secure victory by managing positioning, aiming, and reaction time.
- Active Crafting - scrutinize materials and combine them by actively using tools, such as crushing, instilling, and infusing in real-time.
- Living World - every action players take has a direct consequence on events unfolding in the game world.

Shutdown Announcement:
“So, what went wrong? I suppose the mistake, if one is to be called out, came in the thought that we could soldier through on what we have available. It goes something like this: When we first set out to build Revival, we had access to expertise and resources that aren’t available today. Making up for their loss, be it as simple as lacking sufficient animators or as complicated as losing access to certain networking expertise, has been a costly affair, far more costly than we can honestly afford to bear. So, what does that mean? Is Revival completely dead?
Look, we’ve waited nearly 20 years to make Revival, and maybe we can wait a little longer, so no, it’s not completely dead. It’ll be a cold day in Animae’s realm before I give up on Revival and most of us at IllFonic feel the same way, but however we determine to move forward with it, none of us feel comfortable playing some “business as usual” game while we work it out. We’re going to have to figure some new way to make Revival happen, but we’re not going to lie to you while we do and that’s what this is about. So, is Revival dead? I really don’t know, but whatever happens, it won’t be moving ahead the way we’d planned its current form at IllFonic. We have some ideas on how we can move forward, but they aren’t a true plan yet and they aren’t a guarantee.”
