Turnless battles, twisting dungeons, and countless secrets await you in the magical world of Astravia. As the wandering mystician Oliver, you and your companions must uncover the truth of your past... before the Cataclysm brings forth another age of ruin.

This game is in active development. The demo is due to release this summer during Steam's NextFest.

About

In this retro-style 2D RPG with modernized game mechanics, journey across Astravia as the wandering mystician Oliver and meet new companions, uncover secrets better left unknown, and stop a villainous trio’s plot to steal the powerful Astri and cause world destruction. Influenced by 90s and early 2000s-era JRPGs like Golden Sun and Grandia, the game features a dynamic battle system and a world rich with exploration and puzzles.

Accessibility options to tune your experience, such as battle difficulty and speed modulation, visual adjustments, and control rebinding.

Story

Oliver is a mystician—those in Astravia who are gifted with a natural talent to cast magic. Awakening deep in Mordin Forest with nothing but his shirt and circlet, Oliver finds himself at a loss as to how he ended up there. To make matters worse, the corrupt knights of the area seem all but welcoming towards mysticians.

After a swift rescue by a kindly swordsman, he takes refuge along the outskirts of Mordin Village. There, questions about his past and a fated meeting with the enigmatic Azel leads Oliver on a quest across the world to recover his memory...all while the “Astri Hunters” plan to reawaken the Great Cataclysm for their own gain.

Journey as a wandering mystician and meet new companions, uncover secrets better left unknown, and stop a villainous trio’s plot to steal the powerful Astri and cause world destruction...for the fate of Astravia!
