THE BRASS ORRERY: Steampunk Build RPG, Free Demo is a game, paid, with a free browser demo on the store page.
THE BRASS ORRERY is a turn based RPG where you build a fighter by closing shapes in a five pointed star: 16 nodes, 18 classes, no menu. Strength, Toughness, Agility, Resistance, Spirit sit at the five points. Between them is a lattice of sixteen nodes. Light a node and it pays you its stat. Close a SHAPE (a spire, a facet, the inner ring) and the geometry itself grants you a talent.
Reach an apex and the orrery names you: you do not pick Hammerward, you become one, because you reached strength and toughness and the instrument can read that off your lattice. 3,593 legal builds at the campaign cap. Eighteen classes, none of them chosen from a menu. Every creature carries a lattice too Bonding is not a shop. A wild thing in the wilds has closed nothing: its own REACH lattice is dark.
You bond it by closing a shape in ITS star, and which shape you close is which companion it becomes: wide (the Ring, a little of everything), deep (its own Spire), or across (a Facet, and the technique that comes with it). Three creatures, nine bonded forms, and the pool respecs between fights, because reading the foe and rebuilding is the loop, not a punishment for guessing wrong.
