"Rasna" is an single player open world game, in the form of an "Historically Accurate Etruscan Tale". This means it strives for meticulous historical accuracy while immersing the player in a world rich with mysterious places, magical creatures, and ancient mythology.
The player assumes the role of Velia, a young woman and daughter of the Lucumon (king) of the Etruscan city of Manthura. At the beginning of the game, something terrible happensāand Velia becomes an outcast, hunted by her own fellow citizens.
Gameplay is heavily focused on story and investigation. The player must uncover what has happened by:
Talking to various characters, engaging in dialogue with choices that influence the story.
Exploring different areas and solving labyrinthine paths.
Retrieving key items necessary for progression.
At present, the combat system is still in development and not yet available. However, enemies and combat are planned and will play an important role in the final version of the game.
The Early Access release will only take place once the combat gameplay is ready for testing.
On one hand, the player can expect varied gameplay that alternates between investigation, exploration, dialogue, and action.
On the other, we aim to keep game mechanics simple and accessible, so players can immerse themselves in the story without needing to learn complex controls.
Each character Velia encounters has a personal backstory, adding depth and richness to the narrative.
Following the tradition of ancient Mediterranean legends, humans do not wield magicāit exists only in the mystical creatures they meet and in the natural world around them.
The player will experience a magical, mysterious world and encounter fantastic beings, but will not gain access to fireballs, lightning bolts, or other typical video game powers.
