The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales

A brand-new action RPG from the creators of OCTOPATH TRAVELER and BRAVELY DEFAULT brings something fresh to the table. This time, you get a blend of atmospheric HD-2D visuals with dynamic, more direct combat. There’s adventure, there’s action, and there’s that classic old-school fantasy feel—presented in a modern form.

The Kingdom of Last Hope

The Kingdom of Huther stands as the last refuge of humanity on a continent overrun by beast tribes. The city is protected by a powerful magical barrier, but the world beyond it hasn’t vanished. Quite the opposite—this is where the real adventure begins.

When mysterious ruins are discovered, Elliot and his fairy companion Faie set out beyond the safety of the kingdom’s walls. It’s a journey that spans four eras and intertwines with a thousand-year mission.

Exploration and uncovering history

You traverse a wild, untamed continent, discovering new paths and diving into the world’s hidden secrets. Each region has its own atmosphere and mysteries. Over time, you begin to realize that the history of this land is far more complex than it first appears.

This is a game that rewards curiosity and encourages you to stray off the beaten path.

Dynamic combat with a strategic twist

The combat system is intuitive and satisfying from the very first encounters. It’s real-time action enhanced by strategic support abilities provided by Faie. Using her powers at the right moment can completely change the course of battle.

You’ll need quick reflexes—but also the ability to think several steps ahead.

A story that connects eras

Elliot and Faie’s fate is intertwined with events from centuries past. Traveling across four different eras reveals new layers of the story and leads to the discovery of a truth that could change everything.

It’s a tale of courage, destiny, and unraveling threads of history that have waited centuries to be resolved.

If you enjoy classic JRPGs in a modern form, you’ll feel right at home here.

The Thing: Remastered is a direct continuation of the cult 1980s horror classic, now returning in a remastered version that breathes new life into the story thanks to modern visuals – featuring dynamic lighting, realistic shadows and textures, and 4K resolution.

The story unfolds at a remote, ice-covered research station in Antarctica, where all communication has suddenly gone silent. A concerned U.S. rescue team is sent to the facility to uncover the cause of what happened. You take on the role of the special unit’s captain – J.F. Blake.

What seems like a simple mission – arrive, investigate, report – quickly proves deceptive. It soon becomes clear that an anomaly is responsible for the scientists’ disappearance: unidentified lifeforms. In many cases, their presence first manifests as seemingly harmless infections in humans, who eventually lose all resemblance to their former selves…

Tension rapidly spirals into paranoia – it becomes impossible to tell who’s still human and who isn’t.

Game type:

The Thing: Remastered is an updated version of an action game with strong survival horror elements. Played from a third-person perspective, it focuses on enemy encounters and team management. Leading your squad isn’t easy when trust starts to waver and the rescue mission begins to feel more like a desperate struggle for survival.

How to play:

You command a team of up to four specialists – soldiers, medics, and engineers. You can issue basic orders, assign tasks, and use each member’s skills depending on the situation.

Weapons? There’s plenty to choose from – pistols, rifles, grenades, and even a flashy flamethrower.

The threat isn’t always visible – some of your teammates may be infected. Regular testing helps reveal the truth, but excessive suspicion can lower trust.

The squad reacts to stress – fear and uncertainty can lead to panic, refusal to cooperate, or even hostility. In The Thing, these conditions are part of everyday life – so stress management will come in handy.

The cold is another danger – staying out in the freezing weather for too long drains your health. Find warm spots or risk freezing to death.
