Awaken in a body that isn’t your own—your true form stolen. But this theft grants you an unexpected gift: the freedom to inhabit multiple forms. Assemble a diverse team of hosts, each with unique abilities to tackle challenges, solve puzzles, and dominate battles. As you conquer milestones, your collection of bodies grows, expanding your strategic options. Harness your newfound power to uncover the truth behind your stolen body and face the one responsible. ENGAGE: Village of Origins reimagines classic gameplay by blending retro point-and-click puzzle-solving with dynamic RPG storytelling and quick combat. The core of the experience lies in the body-swapping mechanic, allowing you to control an array of hosts at any moment, each bringing their own skills and advantages. Use this power to outsmart enemies, solve environmental puzzles, and navigate the world in unique ways. The mechanic is “easy to learn but hard to master,” offering endless experimentation and depth. EXPLORE: Journey through four distinct worlds—the bustling City, the peaceful Castle, the mystic Mountains, and the fractured Isles. Each area is filled with quests, collectibles, and narrative threads that enrich your adventure. Uncover hidden lore, meet quirky characters, and experience unique challenges that reward curiosity. Alongside the crafted worlds, venture into the Forest of Formings, a procedurally generated space that offers a way to gather resources and encounter fresh challenges. FIGHT: Unlock 50 unique host bodies, each with their own combat styles, weapons, and abilities. Craft your team wisely, switching between hosts to master diverse strategies and tackle formidable foes. Whether battling relentless hordes or powerful bosses, the body-swapping mechanic keeps combat fresh, allowing you to adapt on the fly. Engage with hosts ranging from mystical spellcasters wielding complex spells to gritty brawlers who give as good as they get to… modern construction workers who not only install HVACs but know exactly how to use them. Each offers a distinct approach, turning every battle into a unique challenge.
