Xerxesian Productions

Xerxesian Productions is the Developer for new game adaptation of the indie comic series Xerxesian Chronicles. Xerxesian Chronicles is a 2 part Fantasy Epic set in an ancient period inspired world, where a series of Kingdoms are locked in an eternal war against an aggressive empire led by the Goddess Astarte. The Goddess Astarte has cursed the realm with sand and it will be Xerxes and Friends' task to reverse this situation. The 2 games will be Visual Novels with RPG elements. The first game is in development and will have 3 major endings. Burb for the First Part, Xerxesian Chronicles: the Sword of Ahura-Mazda. This is the last hope of ending the Desert Curse. It’s been 560 years and all attempts to lift the Desert Curse have failed. An Alliance of Kingdoms are locked in a desperate war of survival against the tyrannical goddess Astarte and her vast empire. But now a new opportunity has arisen. Xerxes’ martial prowess and experiences have scarred him but have also made him worthy of wielding the Sword of Ahura-Mazda. Xerxes must use his skills to ensure that the Magic Water System succeeds in springing oases everywhere. These new oases will make the accursed sands more bearable and prevent total annihilation. But Astarte has a vast reach. She knows that one man cannot be everywhere, and not everybody is strong willed enough to resist her charms, and the Sword of Ahura-Mazda isn’t the only thing that Xerxes needs.
