What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Adisa Game Studio is a small team with two programmers, we want to use early access to get player feedback to make this game better.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Although the initial goal was to complete the full version within a year, the development period has been extended to ensure the game's quality and content depth.
Early Access is still actively being updated, and the release schedule will be adjusted based on actual progress as we steadily work toward a complete experience.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to build upon the foundation of Early Access by gradually introducing new story chapters, ultimately bringing the adventure to a close.
Each new chapter is expected to add new areas and bosses for players to explore and challenge, along with new Otherworldly Skills, magic, Oath styles, class gems, and materials—further expanding the possibilities for gear crafting and character builds.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version includes the following content:

-5 main story stages, featuring exploration, narrative progression, and boss battles

-Over 8 boss enemies, including several hidden encounters

-Destiny's Written Revelation: Players may revive after death with powerful temporary buffs

-More than 18 magic skills and 5 Otherworldly Skills, covering both support and offensive types

-Ukehi System: Currently 4 styles available, enhancing specific abilities or character stats

-Enchanted Artifact System: Over 37 artifacts implemented, each altering character capabilities; some serve as Class Gems that allow players to switch classes

-4 base class gems currently available, each with an upgrade path to an advanced class; all include two tiers of affixes that grant unique skills and passive effects

-Multiple side quests designed to guide players through the story and introduce the world’s lore

All of these systems are available in the current version and will continue to be expanded and refined in future updates.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually increase the price as more content and features are added during Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We welcome players to share feedback on the Steam Community page.
Although we might not be able to reply to every post, we do read them and take all suggestions seriously.”

About This Game

"Once, this was a beautiful kingdom.

Every citizen wore a smile.

It was a land where technology and magic thrived in harmony—renowned for its mastery of alchemy, revered by all.

But one night, everything fell apart. The barbarians broke their oath. The kingdom was lost. The people scattered.

And I...

was left imprisoned in endless darkness."

The story begins a thousand years ago, when a flourishing civilization vanished overnight, leaving behind only desolate ruins.
Now, a millennium later, a young girl arrives at these ruins and meets someone who claims to be the queen of that fallen kingdom.

Together, they begin to uncover the secrets of a world long forgotten.

Yet all of this... only exists within an indistinguishable, illusory world.
