"MagusiaN" is a myth-driven Souls-like RPG where the world rewrites itself based on your actions, and your role in prophecy is the only thing keeping the cosmos from collapsing.
Built by a solo developer exploring interactive mythmaking and consequence-driven storytelling.
Experimental narrative structure that responds to player behaviour & actions
Unforgiving and brutal Souls-like combat
Atmospheric, symbolic environments inspired by retro visuals with deep symbolism
Single-player, story-rich experience
A world governed by prophecy yet constantly contradicting itself.
You are the Mythless.
Unseen powers maintain cosmos through stories. To rule without appearing, they engineered "mythos"; a system of stories & symbols designed to demand obedience.
You exist as an "contradiction" in that cosmos.
Act inside a tale already sealed, decide whether to satisfy, surpass or shatter it entirely in a contradicting world of prophecy.
Awaken from a deep dream stripped of past & future, your essence will be weighed by trials written for you.
Explore surreal regions of ruin, machinery, flesh, sacred; realms shaped by conscious & subconscious forces.
Encounter mentors, savages, messengers, negotiators and other mythless beings bound to the same script.
Comply or defy the cosmos. Shape your fate with steel or with reason, or let the script unfold as inscibed.
Find your way out of passages & trials authored for you.
Break sacred machinery. Wander the ruins of ancient and lesser faiths. Confront divines wearing human vessels. Outgrow what made you!
Reason your way, discuss outcomes, trade wares & stakes, give in to demands, kneel or stand up. Negotiate your yoke & your freedom!
Sacrifice what you posses. Uncover rituals designed as trials, either let go or bear diminishing returns!
If none of these work, fight your way out!
Attempt to become the myth that surpasses its maker.
