Welcome to "Limes" an adventure game set during the 3rd century AD, a period where the Roman Empire's growth has ceased and the focus has shifted to protecting its borders. The game centers around a spirited child of the Alemanni tribes, thrust into the center of a conspiracy that could spark a devastating war with Rome.

As the child of a powerful chief and the potential catalyst for conflict, you must navigate your way home to prevent war. Alongside you is Ariovist, a Roman centurion, creating a duo that embodies the era's clashing cultures.
