STORY
“My name is Tellany Magica. I am a Silver-rank Witch that studies and uses Familiar Magic, and I wish to become a Gold-rank Witch.
In this thesis to achieve the Gold Rank, I will devise an application of this magic with the intent to tackle one of the greatest problems our society faces today: The mana shortage crisis.
Every day, we use more and more mana for our everyday activities, and our world can’t keep up with them. Reducing the mana we consume will be a greater cost to us right now, so that is not an option.
Instead, I would like to propose creating living mana generators. For this, I present the product of this thesis: A creature that feeds on mana to produce more than what was given at first.
This creature was born from the innovative techniques for making Familiars devised by Gold-Rank Witch Annhali Luna, my teacher, with some additional steps taken by myself to effectively create life. As its creator, I have given it the name of…”
“Manalith.”
ABOUT
Manalith is a strategy horror game inspired by Five Nights at Freddy's, breathing a familiar yet fresh new air to its original formula. This game was made not just for people that have played Five Nights at Freddy's and its fangames, but for people that may not be familiar with videogames as well.
Raise and grow your newly-created lifeform and its spawn during the day, then defend against them during the night! Harvest the produced mana in the morning, and use it to upgrade your defenses for the next night, all while you discover what your lifeforms become!
Where shall this experiment take you? A breakthrough that resolves the crisis? A shiny Gold Rank? Another failed experiment among many? Your corpse lying on your study, drained dry of mana and life? There is only one way to find out...
GAMEPLAY
“During the day, I’ve conducted experiments and studied Manalith’s behavior & growth by feeding it mana..."
Before every night, you are in control of how active the Manaspawn are during the night. Spend mana to grow your lifeforms, for they will produce more in return! But beware, as the Manaspawn grow, they will begin to evolve and change their behavior...
“When night falls, I will be monitoring Manalith’s nighttime behavior...”
When the clock hits midnight, the Manaspawn will come for you and/or your mana reserve. But metal doors and cameras, let alone electricity, haven't been invented yet, and wooden doors won't cut it! Use a Crystal Ball to observe the Manaspawn, wield the power of the elements to ward them off, and call for your Familiars to assist in your protection until daybreak at 6 AM! Just be careful to not run out mana at any point!
Additionally, you can expect in the full game...
An experiment lasting through six days and nights! ...if everything goes well for Tellany.
Manalith and five more Manaspawn to discover and learn about! Research notes that are automatically made with each evolution included.
Upgradeable defenses, unlocking more elements and increasing the odds of surviving the night!
A score & ranking system. Optimize your mana usage, minimize mistakes, and reach a high score!
Achievements! Over 15 of them!
