The developer's content notes: fantasy violence and blood; alcohol and drunkenness; a parent in danger; romance between men, with kissing and partial nudity (a hot spring, a shared bed), nothing explicit; mild language. (itch.io)

About Chaos Awakens
A free demo of a party RPG in development, for Windows and macOS. Borin Duskmere left his village a travelling merchant and came back with a power that answers when he opens his hands; when his mother is poisoned, the only cure grows at the bottom of the old mine. The demo covers the first stretch: a tavern full of people with stories, a forest valley and a mountain pass. You lead three dwarfs, Borin, a sorcerer who casts without a word, Fargrim, an exiled barbarian with a greataxe, and Brennor, a ranger, and choose real-time-with-pause or turn-based combat at New Game, switchable between fights. Conversations have skill checks rolled in the open with the party lending its best hand, Fargrim remembers what you do, and an optional slow romance is part of the story. Dialogue and narration are voiced throughout, and there are traps, locks, letters, side quests, a map that fills in as you walk and a Chronicle of people and places. Rules material comes from the System Reference Document 5.2.1 under CC BY 4.0. The developer, a solo beginner working under the name AED Games, says Claude Code wrote nearly all of the code under the developer's direction and also kept the design docs, about 330 test scripts and the build pipeline; the developer wrote the story, the characters, every line of dialogue and the rules. The 1,022 voiced lines were made with ElevenLabs, character and prop models with Tripo and Meshy, animated with Mixamo. Made in Godot 4.7 over three months of evenings.
How it was built
Partially verifiedIn a post on r/aigamedev (15 Oct 2026, UTC) the developer writes: “Claude Code wrote nearly all of the code with me directing it, and the same session kept the design docs, the tests (330 test scripts) and the build pipeline.” ElevenLabs voiced 1,022 lines, each with its own direction; Tripo and Meshy made the character and prop models, Mixamo animated them and Grok painted the cover. What the tools did not do, per the developer: “decide anything”, including the story, the characters, every line of dialogue, the rules and which SRD mechanics to port. The developer adds that the tools were fast at the first version and slow at the last ten percent (a weapon sitting correctly in a hand needed measurement scripts and four camera angles per fix), and that a workflow writing tests and docs with every change kept the project going as it grew.

One person, three months of evenings from July 2026, in Godot 4.7 with the Forward+ renderer. Claude Code wrote nearly all of the code under the developer's direction and maintained the design docs, about 330 test scripts and the build pipeline in the same session. The developer wrote the story, characters, all dialogue and the rules, ported from the System Reference Document 5.2.1. Voices: ElevenLabs, 1,022 lines with per-line direction, picked from several takes by the developer. Characters (Tripo) and props (Meshy) were generated, rigged and animated through Mixamo, then fixed with Blender and measurement scripts (prop heights and pivots, joint positions, weapon grips checked from four camera angles); anything that depends on an exact dimension, such as doorways, was built by hand. Environment, props and interface art from Synty Studios; music from Prompt.fm's Forest Folk Loop Pack and by Ivan Duch (CC BY 4.0); cover painted with Grok. All of this was made during development; the game does not call AI services as far as any source says.

Verification notes: AI use from the developer's post by u/ahmet_makes_games on r/aigamedev (15 Oct 2026, 09:16 UTC) and replies under it, read from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 8 Nov 2026, and from the itch.io devlog of the same day; the itch.io page and content notes re-read on 8 Nov 2026. “Nearly all of the code” is recorded in words, not as a percentage. Developer: itch.io account aedgamesdev, display name AED Games; the Reddit account ahmet_makes_games posts the game and describes the developer as a beginner who works alone. No full name or location is stated. Three months is the developer's figure (started in July; demo out 15 Oct 2026), recorded as about 13 weeks. itch.io: published 15 Oct 2026, 09:03 UTC, updated 18 Oct 2026, status In development, Windows and macOS, Godot, English; AI disclosure: AI Assisted, Code, Graphics, Sounds, Text; no rating or download count shown. The page asks players to vote on VibeTopList (a site where votes rank games monthly); no vote count is recorded. The rules use SRD 5.2.1 material under CC BY 4.0, credited on the page, so the third-party notice states that licence. The developer compares the game's shape to Pillars of Eternity in the post. The builds (about 700 MB each) were not downloaded or checked. The game was not played.
