Tales of Amasia
- The Buried Light’s lore is rooted in Tales of Amasia and expands the creation myth of the tree folk in that universe.
- This game explores how the trees come to the world of Tales of Amasia from their home planet, Arçuray.
Lore of Arçuray | The Buried Light
From Tales of Amasia and Tome of Arçuray to Erlik’s void - how tree folk arrive from planet Arçuray and why War-Trees reclaim the sun.
Tome of Arçuray
- The project sits in a transmedia narrative that extends Tome of Arçuray.
- Tome of Arçuray offers a mythic narrative branch of a new-media hybrid art installation in Berlin - The Buried Light continues that story as a playable siege.
Buried by Erlik
- Forty generations ago, the sentient forests of Arçuray were buried in a lightless void by the cosmic god Erlik.
- To survive, the roots consumed the earth’s marrow and mutated the forest into something that could fight the dark.
War-Trees rise
- They are no longer just trees - they evolved into towering, heavily armed botanical spacecraft: the War-Trees.
- You guide these living war machines through a mythical narrative aimed at reclaiming the sun.
Look and sound of the void
- The campaign sits in a striking monochrome retro-pixelated aesthetic.
- A heavy low-octave bass soundtrack drives the siege - pressure you feel as much as see.
Join the Resistance
- The void is dark, and we don’t want to face Erlik alone.
- On Discord, share bullet-crafting recipes, War-Tree breeding strategies, and feedback that shapes the game’s evolution.
