About the Game

Another Ark is a turn-based strategy role-playing game made with SRPG studio.  It features a complete narrative set in a world themed around Renaissance Europe and Arabia, a unique soundtrack, and human-made art for all of the playable characters.

The year according to the Almutahidian Calendar is 796.  A recent peace has contented the nations of Fremtid and Almutahida, which make up the west of the Maccan continent.  At the will of a powerful business owner in northern Fremtid, Kan, a priest from Almutahida crosses the border.  When the business owner's daughter, Lydia meets up with him, the two are attacked by a large force.

Mystery ensues as Kan communicates with his God, guiding him deeper into Fremtid, in spite of adversity.  At the same time, a young woman of prophetic importance from southern Fremtid travels north to flee from oppression.  What lies in store for these young men and women, called by Almighty God?

Traverse the Maccan continent with 50 playable characters over 20 intricately designed maps, each with its own unique soundtrack.  Fight in strategic battles!  Use break, topple, daze to defeat strong enemies with the right team combo.  Use the save staff to create points to return to in case things turn south.  Complete various side-objectives to help allies use more powerful weapons, to boost stats, to increase your money reserves, and to recruit special characters.

Build relationships among your allies through over 150 conversations, including confessions to learn the deepest secrets of nearly the entire cast.  Identify traitors with the help of your allies to root out the evil that faces you.  Craft weapons with materials you collect on maps.  If once isn't enough for you, replay the game in reverse recruitment mode which shuffles around the order you recruit each of the characters in for extra fun!
