RPG Gamers summarySky of Tides Opens its Case for Early Access
Sky of Tides, a new game developed by Calamity Games, is now available in early access. The game unfolds in an intriguing world of Numen, where due to a catastrophe, the entire landscape was fragmented into nine floating planetoids, each harboring unique societies now disconnected from each other. The game weaves a narrative-rich experience embedded in the extraordinary environment created by the impact of the calamity, including an ocean suspended in the sky enveloping the divided planet.
In a bid to regain control, two dominant powers, the Syndicate and the Sovereign, vie against each other. The Syndicate leverage their binding hold on an advanced, yet cryptic technology powered by the enigmatic Corron minerals. On the other hand, the Sovereign are inclined towards the near-extinct traditions of the ancients, as stated in the forbidden Numen Tomes.
The open environment of Sky of Tides takes players to breathtaking locales while challenging them to decode the mysteries of the ancient Numen landscape and its artefacts. Simultaneously, they experience substantial character growth, catalyzed by dialogue choices that reflect on their character statistics, broadening dialogue options and unlocking unique character personalization assets.
The narrative-driven gameplay takes shape around Rin, a young girl and the offspring of a Syndicate researcher, Lu D’Lorah. Rin’s quest to find her missing father uncovers a conspiracy to strangle Numen’s food supply. The plot thickens as Rin meets new characters, both friend and foe alike, while she stumbles upon a hidden power that could be the key to restoring the planet.
Overall, Sky of Tides promises a narrative-rich experience accentuated with dynamic exploration and character growth, all set in a fascinating world. However, its developers further warn that while the power could potentially mend Numen, others are after it too. This bachelor of intrigue, danger, and exploration remains to be seen as the full game is yet to be released.
