Spirit of Diwata is a co-op JRPG where you heal creatures. Travel together through an Asian fantasy world drawn from Buddhist traditions of care and offering. Your instrument calms the creatures and plants around you. Play on one shared screen, in the same room or across the world.
Calm creatures by playing an instrument. Creatures nearby get better when they hear you.
When you fully calm a creature, bring it to a spirit house to make a musical bond. From then on, you can call on its spirit to help you along the way.
Designed to ease a child, a parent, a grandparent, or anyone into using a controller, actions are as simple as holding a button and tapping. More seasoned players can learn advanced moves, like dodging and luring creatures away.
Plants and creatures only change as you move through areas, so there's no pressure to be efficient. There's plenty to enjoy, even just watching the waves crash onto the shore.
Three of you leave home together. Each of you has your own reason for going, and a different family behind you. On the road, you make a new one together.
Each of you can be in the same room or across the world, and still travel the same road. Join and leave freely. Turn up partway and you can watch until a seat is open.
Angry creatures don't know any better, so they'll attack you when you get close. Each has their own patterns, and there's time to get out of the way.
Healing fills a harmony bar you all share. Use combo moves, or heal at the same time, to calm creatures quicker. Healing this way also brings everyone closer.
Every creature has one of five elements, and your instrument plays the element of the friend you've bonded with. The world reacts to each element in its own way, which you can use to solve puzzles.
Bowing toward a creature or a plant heals it and records it in your World Dex. The more you understand a place, the more it flourishes.
Visit a spirit house to give alms from what you've gathered. Make tea for friends. Burn incense for the creatures that faded here, and each one is remembered by name. Leave food out, and the land is all the better for it.
You can entrust a friend to a place at a spirit house. It will watch over that area, and you'll run into it on your travels there.
Each friend has its own personality. For example, some like being called on, and others like sharing tea. Do what it likes and it will bond with you quicker.
People you meet have requests. Help them enough and they will stand by you the rest of the way, or watch over a spirit house for you. Choose who you station. Some keep their word better than others.
Meditate to reach the Inner Garden, a quiet space you can share with others. Rest, and decorate it until it feels like a spiritual home. Bonded friends talk to you here, and give keepsakes when they're happy.
We'll email you before the Kickstarter goes live, before the demo lands on Steam, and before the game releases.
