IronVail

Ironvail Holdings LLC · New York

Forged in iron. Finished in gold.

IronVail is a family of brands. Each one is built for the people who use it, stands on its own, and has its own door below.

IronVail Studios

Five games. Three share a world, two sail somewhere else.

All five games
Live alpha
The idle RPG

Varath

An idle RPG built on a god's death. Mine, craft, fight and master the world of Varath — seventeen skills, a house, a business empire, and somewhere a charter.

Open beta
The tile game

Varath World

The same world, walked rather than watched — a 2D tile game generated from Varath's own canon. Tap the ground to move, tap anything to act on it.

Open beta
Build, muster, raid

Hearthkeep

Build a hold that never resets, muster champions from the fire, and raid rival holds for what you need. Printed rates, no pity, nothing for sale.

Early build
A homecoming by sea

Nostos

A Bronze Age sea, in pixels. Wash up a stranger, learn the coasts' tongues a word at a time, barter, fight and make your way. On a phone or a keyboard.

Early build
Alone on the Tern, with Rivet

Long Orbit

Earth is gone. You are a lone engineer, named by you, on the maintenance ship Tern, with Rivet, the ship's servant mind. Learn Sol first; the rest of the sky comes later.

How the studio works

Slow games, made in the open.

The studio's rules
  1. Nothing to buy inside a gameNo in-game purchases, no premium currency, no ads. It is why rates can simply be printed.
  2. Nothing expiresNo seasons, no battle pass, no event you can be late for. A daily waits; it never stacks into a debt.
  3. No leaderboardsDeliberately, in every game. A ladder turns every interesting choice into an optimal one.
  4. Made in the openEvery change that ships is written up on the news page, in plain words, the week it lands.
  5. Plays in a browserNo store, no install, no launcher. A link is the whole distribution.
  6. Time is honestNine days away lands exactly what nine days played would. No timer exists to be skipped.
