Today, I have good news to announce that Ghost Road will officially release its game demo on the Steam platform on Friday, December 8th. This version opens one of the lines for the female lead Su Mei, with a full voice acting gameplay time of approximately 2 hours and a script of about 33000 words.
Winter has arrived, and the snow with frost reminds us more than ever of the approaching New Year. While many areas of Eleanor enjoy warm sunshine all year round, all residents are eager to set up festive Christmas trees and decorate them in the best way possible to bring joy to themselves and the children.
To make a festive ikebana you’ll need to go in search of these attributes: - Glass ball: Obtained from experienced monsters on the Snow Island or crafted using super glue from ball shards, which can be obtained from any monsters in Eleanor except initial locations. - Magic Light: Earned by defeating valiant opponents. If your victory occurs in a winter territory, there is a chance to get 2 magic lights at once. - Spruce sprigs: Found in trophies from bosses in dangerous territories of Eleanor. spruce sprigs can also be obtained for every 150 crystals spent. Read the details in the quest log. - Ribbons and Pots: Used to collect decorated spruce sprigs, available for purchase until December 24 in the Crystal Store. Ribbons can also be found in the city store. Eleanor's residents, level 5 and above, can collect holiday attributes until December 20 inclusive, and rewards for exchanging Christmas trees can be obtained until the end of their lifespan.
For exchanging Christmas trees, you can receive the following gifts: - From a spruce sprig: 5 pieces of winter ammunition (normal giant Glace and crystals of taming) and 40 particles of eternal ice.
- From a small Christmas tree: A set of winter ammunition, 10 pieces of all kinds, 90 particles of eternal ice, and 5 summoning seals.
- From a beautiful Christmas tree: 15 pieces of winter ammunition, 140 particles of eternal ice, 10 summoning seals, 6 ghostly cards of Darkness and Light.
- From a lush Christmas tree: 20 pieces of winter ammunition, 200 particles of eternal ice, 15 summoning seals, 18 ghostly cards of Darkness and Light, and 1 set of boss summons.
- The most beautiful, royal Christmas tree, will gift you the most generous presents: 25 pieces of winter ammunition, 300 particles of eternal ice, 20 summoning seals, 30 ghostly cards of Darkness and Light, 2 sets of boss summons, and a December scroll of choice. It contains one of the selectable gifts: 4000 particles of eternal ice, 500 nimelin shards or rage stone, 12 ghostly boss cards, 32 ghostly magic cards, 10 fruitful leaves of the money tree. These gifts can be obtained as many times as you like. Additionally, this scroll can be exchanged once for 4000 prize tokens and 1000 fragments of fractal matrix (exchange is available to those who have access to the test chambers of the Dor-Taund temple). 5 such scrolls can be exchanged once for a certificate for an individual seal.
New decks of cards and jokers of schools and magic skills appeared in Technomagic, allowing you to temporarily weaken your opponent's spells. Cards from the decks of mages and knights are available to humans, and when the effect is applied from the joker of these decks, it weakens the power of spells for dwarves with engineer and warrior skills. Engineer and warrior jokers are available to dwarves and weaken the magic of spells for humans from the school of mages and knights. These cards are obtained with a chance when defeating a valiant opponent on the continent (Soli-Dor, Mines, Hive, Catacombs, Dungeons, the Snow Island).
