Greetings Captains,

I’ll show you the battlegrounds of the Forest of Mist (Area 1).

As the name suggests, the Forest of Mist is reminiscent of the darkness and desolation of forests. It has lost all of its nature’s vigor; most of the forest is dead and only old and faded trees remain.

So, it feels like monsters can come swarming at any moment, right?







Mashu, a mushroom-shaped creature; Ghoul, which feasts on the bodies of humans and animals; Rotten Beetle, a putrid coleopteran; and something wriggling in the ground... These vicious monsters will threaten your Expedition Corps!

Those who played at PAX EAST and who will play at NicoNico may be familiar with them.
Has it been fun? Next time, I’ll be back with maps of the Cathedral Ruins (Area 2).

Well, til next time!

Good Luck Surviving!

Greetings Captains,

I'd like to talk to you about the dungeons where you will lead the Corps Crew on their expedition to find the key to survival.

There are various dimensions inside the Pillar of Despair. The very first area you will traverse is the "Forest of Mist" (Area 1).

Many of you will be familiar with the Forest of Mist as it had been shown in the Teaser trailer, the PAX East 2019 trailer and the PAX demo.

It used to be the lush forest. But after a peculiar outbreak of diseases, all the fauna and flora of the forest died and only their vestiges remain on the ground.

It doesn’t appear to be a normal forest anymore.

Now then, shall we look into the dungeon of Forest of Mist?

(Early stage of Area 1)

(Execution Ground)

(Central Area)

The expanse of the Forest of Mist is arranged with many obstacles and you can pass by the 'Execution Ground' and the 'Central Area'.

Are you getting an ominous feeling by now?

I’ll be back with the battle map where you face monsters in the Forest of Mist (Area 1).

Good Luck Surviving

Do you feel the tension between the Corps Crew and the monsters? It looks similar to PAX East booth but slightly different! Do you see it?

There will be beautiful helpers for our booth and they are going to do cosplay as our Stella character. She is one of the beauties in MISTOVER!

Good Luck Surviving!

Greetings Captains,

Finally, allow me to introduce the eighth expedition skill.
Who can the long-awaited character possibly be? Hmm...

Obviously, it’s the Grim Reaper!

Despite how Grim Reaper looks, she is a novice.
As a new member of the underworld, the Grim Reaper is fervent, but her overzealousness also leads to making unfortunate mistakes. Her most regrettable mistake is losing the underworld registry while carrying out a mission, so as not to be able to return to the underworld.

That’s why the Grim Reaper is currently enlisted in the Corps Crew—to find the registry. As a personified force of Death, she is helping out the Expedition Corps with the “Death Sensor”.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1839266287

Death Sensor can help you spot objects such as chests, keys, and debris, even in areas that you cannot see due to the thick mist.

It is a great expedition skill to use when you try to explore areas that you haven't been to yet. You see how this can come in handy, right?

This concludes the MISTOVER Expedition Skills introduction. However, there is no need to be bummed out. I’ll be back with other interesting topics!

Good Luck Surviving!

Greetings Captains,

Today, I want to introduce to you Sister, the nun of the Cross Order.

She was a pious and reserved nun, but after a near-drowning accident... she became a wholly new person! She says that she hears the voice of God and follows them rather than her faith. She only seeks pleasure even by harassing and deceiving other people.

Although she may have changed, her expedition skill retains the piety of her faith.

“Bless” is her apt expedition skill.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1710102749
"Bless" accelerates the health recovery speed during your expedition.

This is a useful skill when you need to recover your health quickly, but you should be careful because you cannot use any other exploration skills while you're using the "Bless".

I’ll be back with Grim Reaper’s expedition skill!

Good Luck Surviving!

Greetings Captains,

PAX East may have come and gone, but the buzz about MISTOVER is continuing. Fans and press alike lined up to play the forthcoming RPG yielding positive comments all around. Check out the PAX Recap video!

Fan's reactions

• “I absolutely loved it, I can honestly say it is a unique RPG. It makes me extremely happy to play it!”
  
• "It was pretty good, I like the graphics and the gameplay was very interesting. It had a very strategic feel”
  
• “The art style is really interesting. I like the darkness. It’s great being worried about where you move. Every movement is critical and might attract a spore a little bit more, help you find something, or even do I get out of here alive! It was really challenging”
  
• “I like the artwork and aesthetics that is what usually draws me into the game. As I watched it yesterday it really excited me as a turn-based strategy. So today I made it a priority to come by the booth and play first thing.”

Media's reactions

• Marooner’s Rock honored MISTOVER with "Writer's Choice Award" and ‘Best of Show’ at PAX EAST 2019. (A round of applause!!)
  
  
  
• Game Informer editor Daniel Tack also had a chance to try out MISTOVER and had this to say: “I went hands-on with the roguelike tactical RPG Mistover. In a nutshell, it's like what would happen if Darkest Dungeon and Etrian Odyssey had a baby. An anime baby. Featuring a cool cast of characters including witches and grim reapers, the stylized combat loaded with tough choices is the highlight of the experience.”
  
• Blogcritics mentioned that “The art style is very similar to Darkest Dungeon, as is the dark scope of the project, but the rest is a very different experience...At the surface, I took this as a pure Darkest Dungeon clone, but developer Bluehole has brought a lot of depth and originality to Mistover.”
  
• Nindie Spotlight (Article 1, Article 2) articles,,
  
• You can also find interviews at SwitchRPGcom and Nintendo Dual Screens

The Aimo team has a lot more in store in the coming months and is looking forward to showing off more of the game, its systems, and features as it makes its way to release.

Thank you so much!

(Thank you for playing MISTOVER!)

Greetings Captains,

Today, I want to introduce to you ONMYOJI’s expedition skill!

ONMYOJI was born to a YOMA(Greedy Demon) father and a human princess mother. Since he was not born a full-blooded YOMA, ONMYOJI's spell was able to remove the YOMA energy from him and then, he lives like a human. However, being he is half-YOMA, he still has remnants of extrasensory powers.

Thus, ONMYOJI is able to ascertain geological signs and see the future by divine means.

His expedition skill “Trap Searching” can be helpful for expeditions!
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1708469422
It sure will be useful for expedition in areas where there are many traps, right?

Now there are two more left! Which Corps Crew member shall we meet next?

Well, I’ll tell you next time!

Good Luck Surviving

Greetings Captains

Today, I want to introduce to you Witch of the Corps Crew, the idol!

She became a witch as a girl due to her natural born magic talents(?), actually caused by the 'Congenital Witchcraft Syndrome', a phenomenon that occurs only in adolescent girls, and after puberty, the syndrome fades and can no longer practice magic.

Witch travels to obtain the Witch’s Star, for fear of losing magical powers and as a way to keep magical powers eternally.

“Time Stop” is an apt expedition skill for Witch for wanting to be a girl forever.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1839267109
Although it won't last long, it will be enough for you to stop time!

However, it's far from safe because it will randomly relocate you in the dungeon. Stopping time is a gigantic spell and Witch's WildMagic will be out of control!

You never know where you'd end up. Maybe safe place,, but what if you end up being surrounded more monsters? It's your choice!

Has it been fun? I’ll be back with news of ONMYOJI’s skill!

Good Luck Surviving!

Greetings Captains,

Today, I want to introduce to you RONIN of the Corps Crew, a wandering warrior who wants to restore honor.

RONIN is afflicted with self-hatred and is dogged by the misfortune of wandering to seek atonement for killing the Lord and his people because he was possessed by the YOTO (Monster Sword) acquired by eradicating DAITENGU.

Despite the dark past, RONIN’s personality is cool and full of excitement.

“Flash” is an apt expedition skill for RONIN.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1706912139
(RONIN, momentarily possessed, casting Flash and looking cool!)

Flash allows you to move forward as long as the path is clear. As long as there aren’t many obstacles in your way, you can save a lot of food and Light Flower. Peculiar, right?

I’ll be back with Witch’s expedition skill!

Good Luck Surviving!

Greetings Captains,

Today, I want to introduce to you a senior assassin of the Shadow Brotherhood, the largest religion in the desert, Shadow Blade!

Originally hailing from Royalty of a small country that believed in the Order of Light. After she was abducted by the ancient cult, Shadow Blade’s body was remodeled and became amnesiac, forgetting memories and names.

It's a pity that she became a cold-blooded killing machine.

“Stealth”—come to think of it—is an apt expedition skill for an assassin.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1703564874
(Stealth: Hiding from monsters with the smoke bomb effect!)

Stealth allows Shadow Blade for inconspicuous expedition without being noticed by monsters during the limited turns.

It can be a useful skill when you want to avoid battle! However, if you do not check the remaining turns, you might find yourself surrounded by monsters all of a sudden.

I’ll be back with ROUNIN’s expedition skill!

Good Luck Surviving!
