Unleash Your Power in the Light of the Darkness: Origins
QUARTOMUNDO Studio has released the demo for The Light of the Darkness: Origins, now available on Steam and itch.io. Players can step into this atmospheric action RPG soulsvania and experience its combat, exploration, and story firsthand. All while sharing feedback to help shape the game’s development.
The Light of the Darkness: Origins combines action RPG mechanics with the exploration-focused design of a metroidvania. Players traverse a handcrafted, interconnected world presented on a seamless zoomable map, with no loading screens to disrupt the journey. The adventure features aerial combat, an essence-absorption leveling system, and the ability to craft devastating spell combinations from the powers of fallen bosses, each imbued with unique Mystic Natures.
The story unfolds in the Lands of Oblivion, a dimension caught in the ancient conflict between the Darks and the Pales. Here, those who die are erased from the memories of the living. Amid this chaos, Aekon, a formidable dark commander, captures Sephius, a young man determined to save his loved ones. Instead of killing him, Aekon transforms Sephius into something unprecedented, a hybrid of Light and Darkness.
His journey spans eerie landscapes and dangerous terrain as he faces immense challenges and uncovers the mysteries of this forgotten realm. Caught between two warring factions, Sephius wrestles with questions of identity and purpose. While becoming a figure that defies the logic of both worlds.
As his path leads toward an inevitable confrontation with Aekon, the stakes grow beyond personal survival. The fate of all lost souls in the Lands of Oblivion may rest on his choices. Told through the perspective of an observer, Sephius’ tale is one where truth and illusion intertwine, and not every story ends as expected.
