Lea'Nor's Lament



Lea'Nor's Lament

Lea'Nor's Lament is a role-playing game taking place in a post-apocalyptic world where your actions will directly influence another dimension, later identified to be the past. The player is only able to control one character but the possibility to use weapons in a magical way offers many possible combinations and fighting styles. The weapons and the combinations he makes stand for an enhanced experience.


World

In a world where humanity has to share the land with several humanoid races, kings have been fighting for power for ages. Some of these races are the Cyclops, Fauns and Dryads. They live in the near vicinity of the Northern Human Kingdom. Many a time, one of the races got the upper hand. When humanity is to become the most powerful race in the area, the king and his counselor decide to conquer the other races and limit their existence. They think this will create a more homogenous world which will ensure safety for human kind.

As stated before, the other dimension which is shown through visions triggered by Lea'Nor's presence will be identified as the past. The world you play in is a possible future for that past and is full of enemy abominations. The world consists of many ruins and puzzles and was created by Lea'Nor's laments. Her grieve for the dead and her weeping inside the Cavern of Sorrows created it. The result is a twisted reality in which four people exist twice; once in every dimension. Those four are the basic pillars of existence for the post-apocalyptic dimension which the player roams. They are Liam (the playable character), the King, Lea'Nor and Nissu. Though their presence can be a bit different in each dimension, they are the same. Every big decision your character makes, triggers the opposite response in the past dimension. The further he looks for the truth, the stronger the abominations become and the tougher the labyrinth of puzzles will be.

Synopsis

Liam is the only son of the King. He awakens in a labyrinth of ruins suffering from memory loss. Apparently he ended up in the capital, where an apocalyps has taken place. He escapes the city which is filled with ghosts and other abominations. He travels through the destructed lands. In the second city he visits, he meets Joanna, who triggers visions every time she appears. The visions show him what appears to be a version of himself in the past. In the Faun wasteland ruins he is ambushed by Nissu. Liam overpowers her and has to decide whether or not to kill her. The decision he makes forms the basis for his past, as the other him will do the opposite. From there on, the creatures roaming the lands seem to become stronger after every vision. Should Liam continue looking for the truth, watching how his past self becomes a symbol of conquest and destruction?
