—Embark on a colorless adventure, defeat challenging bosses, and save the world in this action-packed RPG game.
Nodes
SteamThe demo for Nodes has been remade from the ground up for 3 months now, featuring updated visuals, a side scrolling adventure rather than a top down one, and RPG elements from the first game, with the same recognisable characters and familiar enemies. The Demo will release during July 2023.
Nodes, a fast-paced action RPG where you play as a hero on a mission to collect ink for an anonymous entity, which will apparently help save the world from a "cataclysmic event". You'll encounter a diverse cast of characters, each with their own unique personalities and abilities, including bosses. Each boss is unique, with different abilities and strengths, and can be encountered on different routes - pacifist, neutral, and genocide. Some will help you on your quest, while others will try to hinder your progress.
As you progress through the game, you'll collect ink and gold to upgrade your abilities and unlock new powers in order to defeat the Ink Guardians, who are to be reawakened into the future, causing the downfall of the world. Due to this, you must traverse the world seeking out the elemental stakes required for each guardian, defeat them, and reseal them back into their temples.
