Inspired by the Book : The Hangman of Paris by Claude Cueni, and the Paintings of Zdzisław Beksiński.

If using mouse, please trigger the "Use mouse" option at "Config" menu. Unique art style Special art style makes you immerse into the nightmare of executioner. Half sketch half real rendering a different kind of Baroque times. Small Tips The vibe and story-telling look quite souls-like, but actually the game mechanics is very different. It's more close to survival horror and you don't need to collect souls to level up. What you need to do is to survive by any means necessary, and explore forward. Different battle system This battle machanic encourages you to make critical STAB, back STAB, and keep PARRY to make the EXECUTION HIT, and use your GUN properly, not encourage to fight directly with normal melee attack. Attire system Various attires and hats can be changed, they also have different functions. Update your outfit and catch the fashion of early 18th century. Item transfer system Collect different items on the road and transfer them into valuable resource, like different kinds of bullets or herbs for example. Multi-Endings More than 4 defferent endings. The first time playing takes about 5-10 hours. If you trigger some special endings, it would be much shorter or much longer.

Description from IGDB IGDB

Nova is essentially an RPG with horizontal Level Scaling, which means that any advantages players get over other players are temporary, with skill and game-knowledge being the primary determining factors in player success. When a player logs into the game, they are presented with 5 points of interest: The Courtyard, the Kingdom, the Desert, the Forest, and the Dungeon. These locations' unique objectives and loot combined with their varying aesthetics and purposes give them each a unique personality. There are 5 classes in Nova: Fire, Frost, Shadow, Nature, and Storm. Because of the bifurcated class structure and the unique synergies of the elements, there are essentially 10 fun and interesting classes. Each element entails 7 unique abilities that can be cast at any time with the only limitation being mana costs. This leads to 10 very different elemental combinations, all with access to unique Talents and Augments.
