About the Game

Elves are extinct, wiped out by the power of curses.

Humans now claim the little land that remains…

Locke, a recluse, wants to learn more about the Elvin civilization.

Ardra, a local troublemaker who’s ready to take on the challenges that the world has for her.

Together, they’ll make their way out of their giant tree home and venture to new towns and dungeons, encountering challenging and mysterious monsters along the way.

Make use of your flexible skill pool to overcome challenging foes. Skills are divided into Magic(natural power from the planet) and Artes(power drawn from the individual). Using these skills drains your TP bar, something that enemies will take advantage of...

Mana Burst and Mana Flow.

All living things have mana flowing through their body. Being overcharged with Mana will make a creature resilient to ailments, but can lower their chance of hitting enemy weak points. Conversely being low on mana will make you more susceptible to ailments, but will make your chance to strike an enemy's vital point skyrocket.

Experience the S.e.a.m.s system!

Most skills have different variations that can temporally or permanently be learned using the Super Elemental Art and Magic System, or Seams for short. Throughout your journey, you'll discover Seams crystals of varying elements. Equipping them to different characters will change their existing move set. Experimenting and mastering this system will let you handle any foe in any situation.

Inspired by the classics

Combat is heavily inspired by the likes of Final Fantasy, Etrian Odyssey and the Tales of series. Expect challenging encounters with multiple ways to overcome any threats.
