You like traveling and exploring

You want competitive play too

  • People who dislike competitive or online-leaning features (note: it's playable solo)

Overview

LumenTale: Memories of Trey is a creature-collecting RPG set in a beautiful, fantastical world.

You play as Trey, a hero who has lost his memories, traveling a world inhabited by mysterious creatures called "Animon." Animon are made of "Anibis," the energy that flows through the world, and you can catch and befriend them using a yo-yo-shaped capture device called the "Holoken." Borrow their elemental power to fight together and deepen your bond as lifelong partners — it's the familiar "collect, raise, battle" loop, wrapped in a carefully told story.

▲Everyone loves a certain pocket-monster series — and some are team digi-, too.

Why it's fun

🧿 Catch and raise Animon with the "Holoken"

The core loop is using the Holoken capture device to catch Animon, add them to your party, and raise them.

You challenge wild Animon, capture them, and lean on their elements and abilities for the next fight. Each one has its own skills, so how you combine them changes how you battle. That collecting-RPG pull of "I want that Animon next" is firmly in place.

▲The battles evoke that 3D-on-2D look of a certain monster RPG's BW / Sun & Moon era. I'm a big fan of this style.

📜 A memory-chasing story and a detailed world

The empire of Talia has a fleshed-out backdrop — a war of succession, and a guardian order known as the "Lumen."

Amnesiac Trey's search for "who he really is" plays out across distinct towns, unraveling the mystery bit by bit. It's not just a collecting game; the world and story are there to be savored.

▲There's a real story here too. Set out on a journey to find yourself.

⚔️ Compete in online PvP

The Animon you raise can also face off against other players in online PvP.

You can take your time through the story solo, of course, but being able to throw your raised team into competitive battles widens what the game offers as a collecting RPG. It's an indie title, but the publisher is Team17 (known for Overcooked and Worms), so there's reason to be optimistic about the competitive side.

▲Raise 'em and you'll want to battle 'em — a gamer's instinct. Time to go meet someone stronger than you.
