Fenyx Digital has announced its debut game, Louts: Lost Memories, will soon be available on Steam. Not only that, there will be a free public demo. This side-scrolling, 2D-pixel art visual novel combines turn-based combat with a deeply emotional narrative, challenging players to confront themes of manipulation, memory, and choice.
Follow the Journey of a Troubled Young Samurai
Take on the role of young Atsushi, a resilient samurai caught in the midst of a raging war in Feudal Japan. Join him on a quest to retrieve the Raiketsu herb, a rare plant that holds the key to saving his ill father. This precious herb can only be obtained from Lord Hisashi, an emperor who is hosting a fight-to-the-death tournament featuring the most legendary samurai in history. What begins as a simple mission quickly evolves into a story-driven journey filled with unexpected challenges. Follow Atsushi as he navigates his personal grief and uncovers hidden alliances, revealing life-altering truths that will change everything he once believed.
Where Story Meets Turn-Based Strategy
In Lotus: Lost Memories, deliberate, slow-paced combat reflects the introspective tone of a visual novel. Players engage in strategic battles through a unique system that combines turn-based mechanics with real-time Quick Time Events for actions such as blocking, parrying, and interrupting attacks.
There are ten distinct turn-based moves available. These include overhead and underhand swings, piercing jabs, and more. The game does not rely on traditional RPG stats. Instead, success is determined by the player’s timing, precision, and reflexes. For those looking for a greater challenge, Gauntlet mode offers a timed endurance trial on the leaderboard, pitting players against opponents in consecutive battles. Experience a variety of combat environments, ranging from serene landscapes to the roaring excitement of the battle arena.
Lotus: Lost Memories Demo Coming Soon
Lotus: Lost Memories will be showcased in the SNF Festival from June 9th to 16th. Players can experience the first 20 minutes of the game’s opening act. They’ll be able to immerse themselves in three distinct combat environments. There will also be a brief sneak peak of a mini-boss battle. Don’t miss this exclusive chance to get a glimpse of what the full game has to offer.
