| The First Hours | 2024-08-21 | You know your mission; enter Mount Qaf and save Prince Ghassan. Now that you are here, how do you survive this perilous place to complete your mission? Upon entering Mount Qaf you will be met with enemies to teach you how to use your abilities along your journey. Be sure to pay attention to the skills and techniques that will be shown to you. Some tips to help you along your journey: 1. Parry and Dodge! The art of parrying requires good timing, (trust me I would know) but it negates the damage and leaves the enemy open for a counterattack. Note that the parry can also deflect projectiles. Some enemies can perform a Reckless Attack, indicated |

| Developer Insights: Music & Sound | 2024-07-30 | Guess who’s back? Back Again? The Community Team is back, this time to talk about how our sound designers built an immersive world using music and sound.

To do this, they immersed themselves with sounds and soundtracks of earlier titles for inspiration, while working on their own way to support the beautiful and fantastic game direction, specifically for those awesome time powers and monsters.

| Dev Art: Discover The Inhabitants | 2024-07-19 | Metroidvanias are built on the promise of a rich and interconnected world – but this world has to be filled with captivating, unique, and sometimes mysterious characters. To honor this tradition, the concept artists of the dev team created a rich cast of NPCs for the player to interact with in Mount Qaf. All of them have a history with the place’s Time Curse, yet not all of them are willing to help our hero. Let’s take a look at some of them. THE MAGE & ALKARA The Mage is a mysterious person – seemingly old, but due to the time curse it’s impossible to be sure. What’s for sure is that she’s a great person to visit in your journey, because she |
