What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“First and foremost, I really want this game to to be as good as it can possibly be.

Now, there's been a few bug fixes and minor features brought about (albeit more for a separate Android port) like keypad controls and WearOS compatibility, but this is a desktop game first and foremost, and there really hasn't been much of anything useful for that. Platforms aside, it's been real hard to tell where to improve on, or if something's unbalanced either without some real valuable feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

Hopefully this'll be fully realised within a year from this game's release days. Almost 2 major updates in now since 22/12/22, another 2 more and it's more or less golden.”

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

“There's a lot more that's here now compared to when this project really got going on the 22nd of December well back in 2022, but the real good stuff just ain't there yet. These are the main things to look forward to...

Events and NPCs - With 11 homelands out and ready, seasons and weather conditions to play with and an internal calendar of sorts, having others to talk to and interact with beyond your party members would really allow for some fun moments. Just mind the real time support.

Better Battles - As is, there's an automatic battle system to play with, and not too many nuances beyond species abilities. Slipping in commands, switching and items will take a bit.

Online Battles and Trading - It's exactly what it says in the tin. There's already an even simpler battle system golden for quick and easy fights and plans for item/egg trading, but otherwise there's not much else really settled on here when it comes to how said online will even work.

Menu Adjustments - There's an awful lot of menus to sift through, particularly concerning the PLAY tab where you'll be doing the bulk of your questing, fighting, playing and whatnot. A better UX, and translations if I can manage it, is paramount.

More Species and Areas - It's almost a given, really. Currently more than halfway there in getting a roster of 220 as initially planned, too.

...and that's about it, give or take a few. In the meantime, expect other minor features to come along too.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“It's more or less playable to an endpoint. Typical pet raising, quests to do, areas to unlock, items to collect, sell and use, there's still something to work for. Of course, there'll be more things to play around with in the future.”

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

“This game isn't ever going to be paid, Early Access or not.”

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

“I really appreciate any requests or bug reports that come my way, few as there are. At present, the only source of feedback's been scattered around on Discord. There's a server dedicated to all this too that'll be the main source of progress sharing and feedback collecting, but I'll be keeping an eye out for Steam discussions too.”

About This Game





Discover the realm of Reveria, a wild world a cast of curious creatures call home. Take the role as one of these monsters as you encounter all kinds of Reverians, and embark on all sorts of adventures and quests!

⭐ PLAY YOUR WAY


Customise your experience with two versions in Red and Blue, with exclusive and more easily accessible areas, homelands, species and shells, real time progression toggles and two distinct gameplay modes...

⭐ GO EASY, GO HARD

In Revery Mode, you're free to tame and nurture your currently active Reverian in one of 10 distinct homelands, while Gazing Mode presents a more challenging experience with requiring regular check-ins to maintain your whole team's well-being all at once - all while playing as the very weakest Reverians.

⭐ MEET THE REVERIANS


Play as one of over 50 fully-evolved Reverians in Revery Mode (or 5 special Reverians in Gazing Mode), and encounter over 100 species and discover their unique traits and needs, from dietary needs and instinctual habits to elemental skills and special abilities. Recruit and raise up to 20 party members through adoption, dropped eggs and defeating invaders!

⭐RAISE YOUR REVERIANS


Keep your party in top form by feeding, training and tending to their needs. Spend quality time with your party members by playing minigames and fighting alongside them, and watch bonds form as they hang out amongst each other... but watch out for infighting, truancy and sabotage!

⭐ COMPETE IN BATTLES

Fight with your party members or enter the fray with your own player character in classic turn-based bouts. Test your skills in Training Battles, participate in Tourneys, and undertake daring Nightward Raids against waves of adversaries!

⭐ EXPLORE THE WORLD

Visit your homeland for items, amenities and quests, and send off party members to search for materials and work for money and experience. Discover new areas to explore in as you increase your Player Rank with quests and raids!

⭐ COLLECT, CULTIVATE AND CRAFT

Manage your inventory wisely and stock up on essential supplies from your homeland's shops and the elusive Alterworks Depot. Harvest plants, go on a voyage for materials, craft your own items and cook new foods with the help of your party members!

✨ FEATURING

  • 135 species currently available
