![]() Realm cards can even be combined for novel experiments. That might be changing weather conditions, adding an abundance of a particular resource, or balancing combat. With realm cards, players can alter the realms they visit to their benefit. These are procedurally generated (within a formula) but change dynamically in real time. Players will visit a variety of realms in order to collect resources, defeat enemies, and find new items. The biggest twist - and the game's unique selling point, beyond the setting - is realm cards. Alternatively, time can be spent gathering resources, farming, and developing an estate before inviting friends to visit. Players will fight in first person with both ranged and primitive melee weapons: axes, swords, guns, and magical weapons enchanted with abilities. Continuing the Lord of the Rings influence are the Bound, orc-like creatures formed in a twisted mimicry of humanity and bound to the Fae. The interplay between Fae and humans has plenty of potential, both in narrative and combat.Ĭombat will see players taking on apex creatures and Fae monstrosities: beasts inspired by gothic and Eldritch horrors, and Ent-like Eoten. Often masked, they're up to nine feet tall and are mostly divided into Summer and Winter courts, while others roam as Ronin. ![]() The Fae themselves, while not inherently evil, are powerful beings who use humans as their playthings. "We want to make sure that players don't feel limited," said Flynn. Outfits tie into Inflexion's desire for players to re-create their authentic selves - its character creator promises a variety of skin colour and ethnicity options, and those lovely outfits aren't locked by gender. And just to complete that Mary Poppins fantasy, players will gain a magical umbrella with which to glide over realms. Outfits are all Victoriana, from sharp waistcoats, tophats and beards, to soldiers and utilitarian chimney sweep looks. That includes Ada Lovelace, the British mathematician who here heads up the game's science division, and Henry Hyde, a distillation of both Jekyll and Hyde. ![]() Inflexion has absorbed plenty of Victorian culture in its vision, with factions based on both fictional and historical figures. That's where players come in, tasked with rebuilding the realm network and surviving, eventually seeking out the city of Nightingale itself. Human adventurers, known as Realmwalkers, use Fae portals to travel to distant realms.Īll of that crashed in 1889 when a deadly miasma called The Pale collapsed the portal network, leaving humanity lost across realms and desperate to survive. At the heart of the world is the city of Nightingale, the centre of magickal studies. Nightingale is set in an alternate history Victorian period, with humans sharing their world with the Fae - magickal beings whose power has merged with science and industry.
