Story
The world of Alterna is filled with a mysterious power called Life's Breath. It enables magic, fueled technological advances, and brought great prosperity to many. Ships no longer needed to solely depend on wind, perishable food could be refrigerated, and barren soil brought bountiful harvests with Life's Breath.
This was all done under the supervision of the Ecclesia, an omnipresent organization representing the teachings of Proserpina: a goddess who once walked Alterna like a normal human and brought the gift of Life's Breath to all. In Alterna, no one doubts Proserpina's existence, as her body is freely displayed to all in Ecclesia's center of power, Cor. In her favor temples are erected everywhere, which allow Life's Breath to flow into the world. But is it really that simple?
Shawn and you slowly uncover the dark secret of Ecclesia and together you will experience a captivating adventure that combines many classic RPG aspects: A character-driven story in which your relationships change the course of the story, a dynamic battle system, challenging puzzles, towns waiting to be explored and other exciting locations!
Features
- Breaking the 4th Wall
The 4th wall is a concept from theater where the actors on stage directly interact with the audience. In the same fashion, you partake in the story of Numina as a character in the form of a bodiless voice that only Shawn can hear - a guardian spirit. You can interact with Shawn and influence his decisions through dialogue choices in the game.
- Branching Decisions
The decisions you make influences the relationship Shawn has with the other characters you'll meet in the game. Having good relationships with your party members unlocks powerful combo-attacks in battle and may open up the opportunity to take your relationship to the next level ♥ Your decisions also influence the overall course of the story to conclude into one of the four possible endings.
- Battle with the Elements
Engage in a round-based combat system with action inputs for some attacks that require you to make timed inputs for maximum damage! Each character also has unique elemental abilities to exploit enemy weaknesses. Incorporate this into your strategy to quickly win battles.
- Explore the World of Alterna
Most side quests in NUMINA allow you to dive deeper into the backstory and lore of the world. But you can also explore the beautiful scenery with your grappling hook to reach higher places and find new gear, spell scrolls or rare items.
