Gameplay Adjustments
For those who have been following ARIE: Moonprayer on Steam, you may have noticed numerous screenshots of new game mechanics appearing on the shop page. Here we share the newly added features with you all.
A time and weather system highly related with the game world
| Day | Night |
|---|---|
As time passes, not only will the weather change, causing high and low tides at sunrise and sunset respectively and affecting the explorable area, but the character's Vitality will also gradually diminish.
Resting at a bonfire not only advances half a day, altering the time of day and weather conditions, but also allows the players to restore vitality, keeping movement speed and stamina at optimal levels.
Reveal the past of the ending world through characters
Players will encounter numerous living characters and deranged Moonspirits throughout the world, uncovering their stories through dialogue and playing instrument. Acquiring the memories of Moonspirits also enhances the player's exploration abilities.
Exploring the Human Heritage of the Vast Island Cerul
| Gathering rare resources | Revive desolate village |
|---|---|
Across the vast expanse of Island Cerul, players may explore this towering mountain range, drenched in tidal waters, seamlessly, freely venturing into the island's hidden sanctuaries. Within ancient materials awaiting discovery, which can be utilized to rebuild the desolate villages where the characters dwell.
Unraveling the mysteries of ancient human remains
The fantastical instrument players wield, “ Diqin,” interacts with ancient human ruins to produce unexpected effects. Whether resonating with rocks, rotating structures, or rewinding time, it enables players to forge paths untrodden by those who came before.
The above represents the new gameplay features introduced this year.
Exhibitions
Following our participation in Japan's BitSummit exhibition in Kyoto this past July, our team gathered extensive feedback on the game. Over the past six months, we have actively refined the exploration mechanics, puzzle elements, and storytelling content.
Although the team will not be exhibiting at this year's G-EIGHT, we will still be showcasing in INDIE HOUSE at TaiNEX 1 during next year's Taipei Game Show. We sincerely invite everyone to experience our latest game content. For detailed dates and locations, please stay tuned to our social media channels for the latest updates.
