RPG Adventure Indie Platform Action Single-player Side view

Decades after the Rain of Death, a new journey begins in the Land of Fumes, where mystical powers lie beneath the earth. The kingdom’s desire for conquest led to the creation of the Homunculi, machine-like artificial life forms prepared to execute the king’s will. A recent resource-harvesting mission gone awry caused toxic vapors to emerge from underground, driving both man and machine to feral madness. As the Homonculi devolve into dangerous creatures, guide Lilac –- an “Attuner” with the power to purify those infected by the fumes — on a quest to save the kingdom. With the help of friendly machines and spirits who fight in Lilac’s stead, fend off mechanized legions of lunging carcasses, cannonball-firing corpses and chainsaw-wielding goblins terrorizing the land. Turn foes into friends by exorcizing corruption from enemy bosses. Wield their powers to add 30 different abilities to Lilac’s combat repertoire in an enhanced battle system where she can equip up to four special abilities at once. Improve Lilac’s odds of surviving this hunt for lost memories by leveling up attack strength, HP, and armor. Explore the depths, heights and far corners of the kingdom for lore-filled relics. Collect and trade gold for upgraded items at the Blacksmith’s storefront. Combine story fragments from the kingdom’s fleeing inhabitants with Lilac’s forgotten memories. Seek the truth in an atmospheric hand-drawn setting set to the soothing serenades of returning musical group Mili (Ghost in the Shell, Goblin Slayer) with a brand new original soundtrack available for purchase at launch.

Story

Set decades after Ender Lilies in the same world, Ender Magnolia unfolds in the Land of Fumes, a kingdom served by machine-like artificial beings called Homunculi. A toxic gas seeping up from below has corrupted many of these Homunculi, driving them mad and turning them violent. The story follows Lilac, a girl with the rare gift of an "Attuner" who can cleanse the corruption, as she wakes in an abandoned lab with no memory of her past. Together with a loyal Homunculus companion named Nola, she sets out across the ailing kingdom to purify the afflicted, uncover the truth of her origins, and find a way to save the land.
