Turn-Based Tactics
Classic JRPG-style combat: read the enemy, choose your move, land the swing. Every fight rewards strategy, not button mashing.
Your Body Is the Controller.
Perilous Paces reads your steps, workouts, and movement through HealthKit and converts them into strength for your fighter: more distance covered, more muscle to upgrade, more gear to earn. Then you take that power into turn-based JRPG combat against monsters, bosses, and other real players.
Real Effort, Real Power
Steps and workouts train your muscles and unlock gear. There's no shortcut — the grind is the workout, and the workout is the grind.
Face Real Rivals
Once you've earned your strength, prove it. Take on other players in PvP battles, not just AI.

Combat Is Alive
The turn-based combat system is up and running: you can genuinely fight goblins, orcs, and worse using the mechanics that'll ship in the final game. All of the class and monster art you've seen on this site is finished and slotted in.
What's left before this becomes a game instead of a tech demo: hooking up the HealthKit-powered fitness loop, turning your actual steps and workouts into character strength, and a long balancing pass across weapons, classes, and dungeon difficulty so no single build trivializes the fights.
More updates as those pieces come together.
