Ichor, and what it costs
Ichor is a stone that grows on the dead and offers power for a price. The comic is about that choice.
The comic, and the choice in it
Watt Studio released a short comic on 24 March 2026. It is not a promotional one-pager; the studio describes it as a story about a moment of choice.
The setup: the Tsarevna encounters ichor, an ancient substance that promises power. At first it feels like an opportunity. Then it becomes a tool. Then comes the question the studio puts in the post itself: how much are you willing to give to become even stronger?
Two themes are named for the comic and for the game: the temptation of power and the cost of vengeance.
Ichor, per the trailers
The 2 May 2026 trailer post is the most detailed public description of what ichor is.
Stones that bloom on the bodies of the dead, offering power to anyone willing to part with their soul. Violence in this world is described as an endless cycle frozen inside the facets of the stone.
That trailer also gives the revenge target a name. Tsarevna seeks revenge for Buyan, destroying the unclean creatures in her path.
What going on costs
The same post says each step takes her further from who she was. She fears the call of the red stones, because the madness of ichor is too high a price for victory.
The store page's about text says the same thing in different words: every battle leaves a mark, and the cost of pursuing justice grows as the darkness spreads.
Her own description
The store page names her Swan, last surviving heir of a fallen kingdom, driven by duty and revenge. It also frames the arc as a question: how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice before she becomes the very monster she set out to destroy.
That line is the thesis of the story, and the comic is the studio showing it rather than telling it.
Story stops here
The studio has not published a chapter list, an ending count, or a runtime. Two trailers and one comic are the whole narrative record so far.
The named characters and places are collected on Swan, Buyan, and Iriy. The world's art direction is here.
