A Journey Through Hemera
Verne: The Shape of Fantasy is set in the year 1888, where players find themselves in the shoes of the famous author Jules Verne. The game takes place in Hemera, a world born from Verne's vivid imagination. In this alternate reality, Verne and the legendary Captain Nemo embark on a mission to find the Flame of Hephaestus—a powerful artifact believed to have the ability to alter the course of history. The stakes are high, as Hemera is on the brink of destruction due to a war with the mysterious and menacing “Nation.”
Innovative Gameplay and Features
The game’s mechanics are as intriguing as its story. Players must navigate through various environments, solving intricate puzzles using the IMAG device—a tool that allows them to rewrite history and influence the narrative. The game’s non-linear dialogues add depth to the gameplay, offering multiple paths and outcomes based on the player's choices. This feature not only enhances replayability but also reflects the power of imagination that Verne himself was renowned for.
The steampunk aesthetic of Verne: The Shape of Fantasy is brought to life with atmospheric and meticulously detailed pixel art. From the dark, labyrinthine corridors of the Nautilus to the enigmatic ruins of Atlantis, every location is designed to captivate and challenge players. The game encourages exploration, rewarding those who take the time to search every corner of its immersive world.
