Is it accessible for blind players, who are using screanreaders, e/g/ NVDA?

Hey there, thanks for reaching out! 

I'm sorry but the game currently isn't acceessible for blind players. I might be able to make the in-game text work for screenreaders but there are several gameplay mechanics which would take a lot more time to make them accessible ☹️

Sadly, the Mac demo crashes when you go from "New Game" -> "Close". I am on a M1 Monterey if that can help.

Sorry for the inconvenience! I'll check it ASAP

I just uploaded an update for macOS that should fix the issue 🙂

Thank you, now it works. I am going to try it this weekend!

Have fun! 😊

does this come with a steam code?

No, but if you want it for Steam you just can get it regularly on there :) 

I was using Launcher.exe to play the demo, and don't see my saves in Part 1, complete, or the demo's game.exe. Is there a way I can transfer the save, or is starting over the only the only option? If there is, is starting over a considerably better option?

I'm so sorry for the late reply! Somehow I didn't get the notification :( 

You can transfer the save files:

  1. Navigate the Part 1's directory and look for the save folder
  2. Copy the entire folder and paste it into the Complete Edition's folder

Please let me know if you need any further help!

Can anyone help me? I'm stuck in the garden of illusions, where you have to put the code in for the blue crystal. I can't for the life of me remember anything about a 4 digit code for a blue crystal

Did you do Cassandra's sidequest? You don't need this code to progress, it's just something extra.

There are two switches on two platforms on either side of the area where all the bones are lying around. Activate both of them and you should be able to progress :)

Let me know if you need any further help!

I got it, thank you! I did do Cassandra's side quest, but before I put in the code, I don't think I was able to progress even after pressing the 2 switches. It was only after I inputted the code that a walk path appeared to progress.

"A few seconds left..." on download. Demo, the Part 1, Complete, all of these hang before I get an actual game.

I feel scammed.

Okay, it appears to be an issue with Waterfox (I run it because it supports more add-ons). But Firefox also tried to hang. If itch.io will allow it, I recommend using a self-extractor install file like you get from InstallCreator. I'm not sure big .zip files do well.

I'm sorry to hear you had to deal with those issues. I've never heard of similar reports, so I'm happy you got the download working. itch.io also has a launcher app that also updates the games, which might have been an alternative solution. 

Sorry again & let me know if you have any other issues.

It seemed to have something to do with my Waterfox browser. I downloaded Firefox just for the game, and it worked.

how do i solve the light puzzle at beggining of chapter 2?

Hey there! Which one do you exactly mean? In which area are you?

There's also a German guide (it might be understandable with Google Translate) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2828500510

I was in the area where paolo and cassandra were locked up.

I solved the puzzle with the guide. Thanks.

Heey!! im so happy to see you update the second part of the game! I CANT WAIITTT, I love this game so so much, is awesome, beautiful aesthetics, incredible characters, I- I cant. 

SPOILEEERS!



When I was playing it, when you are in the rebel's beach, if you get out of the place to, for example other scenery, without looking the tend where Arc and Raph is, then Sarah will say she will come with you, then if you want to go backhand speak with the guard, they will speak to you in Germany XDD,i forgot to make a screenshot! Im sorry, but if you want I can try to go back there to show you.

PS: rn im so worried about Raph, like, he dont deserve all of this :(((, I have a question, if you want to respond, Rap is a RO for Shawn? Because at first I thought that and I tried so hard to pair them out, but at this moment I dont even know if this could be possible xDDD

Thank you so much for leaving this comment! c: 

And sorry about the German guard hahaha, should be fixed in an upcoming update.


SPOILERS BELOW




Well if you want to know, there are special scenes with Raph if you try to pursue him. But he is not one of the four official available romances.

I've been following this game for a while now and the demo immediately stuck with me at the time since I just like the idea of your player character and you having this sort of bond. That and RPG has always had a bit of a soft spot in my heart. 

But yeah,  I've always planned on buying it once I got the money to do so— and guess what? I was able to get Numina on Steam! And Part 2 came out just as I bought the base game, so Extra Fun!!! :DDD  I'm so happy you were able to get this out!

So haha, yeah, I'm pretty excited to go through the whole game since I just think it's really interesting and cool. That and I love Shawn and Raphael, they're darlings! <3

Sjhdkshs anyway, I just went to the itch.io page for the game since I just wanted to thank you so much for making this!! I'll treasure the many memories I'll get with this game! <3 <3

Aww thank you so much for taking the time to write this comment! I'm currently sick in bed and reading this truly made my day 😊

I hope you'll enjoy the game and I'd love to read what you thought about it, once you've finished it!

// this is a real long one, i apologize, i couldn't help myself


AAAAAAAAAAAAA

I've finally finished my first run through of the whole game in about 23 or so hours and GODDAMN do I have some things to say after that! It's less review and more me screaming into the void about the game in a very incoherent manner.


Possible Spoilers and horribly long and non-chronological bullet points that are just me ranting about certain points in the game are under the cut.



[ Numina ] 

× it's rants all the way down... ×


First of all, rpg game is very rpg! I honestly don't hone too much attention on gameplay mechanics, but I'm very thankful for whoever thought we needed a story mode as a difficulty.  I get really dumb sometimes with combat so it's helpful to turn it on whenever haha

As for the music, I find myself partial to the end credits song (I'm guessing it's the one called Echoes)! It's all melancholic and stuff considering we just said Goodbye to Shawn and the gang and I really liked that.

The Goodbye Scene really did end up making me tear up though. Shawn and the gang are just so sweet it kinda hurts.

I'm gonna miss my first run version of Shawn and the gang. But like Naomi said, I can just keep coming back to them and she'll always be waiting. 


As a whole TLDR for what happened during my 19hr playthrough: I got the Noema end (Sarah ended up dying during the whole gate/fence thing so whoopsies, my bad) where I defeated Cealon and just destroyed the Guphs in finality rather than killing Naomi.

Unsure if this is a real Good End considering Raph still dies and I accidentally killed Sarah, but it's definitely a positive kind of end, so I'm content with this as of now.

At this point, I'm just gonna try to figure out how to get that very colorful question mark ending during my NG+ run. But I'm assuming that's just the end where everyone survives and the Guphs aren't sucking up souls anymore. Maybe Raph even EXTRA survives and gets a cure— idk, I'll find out later on. 


Anyway, Rant Time!

* Okay, first things first, fucking RIP everyone that was yeeted into the yummy fun magic making blender under the city temples. Especially the lil guy we were controlling at the introduction.

but– BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY? 

MASAMEEE NOOOOOOOOOO

SKHDKSJSJ GODDAMN WAS MY TIME WITH HIM SHORT 😭😭 WHY WAS HE SO FUN WHEN HE WAS GONNA BE SO SO VERY DEAD LATER???? I mean I get it and I knew the portraitlessness of Masame probs meant SOMETHING but GOD was I not ready for that sudden loss.


* Moving onto other things, I think it's sweet how the guardian spirit and Shawn's relationship dynamic is like when you two just get along. I just love him to bits and want him to be happy <3

The whole relationship thing in game is cool in general. The highest relationship bar I think I had was either 3 or 4 hearts with every party member, feel like they could be higher tbh but ehhh...

Still proud I got a 7 heart relationship with Shawn tho. It was literally the one relationship I tried to maintain on the steady up and up in game lmao.


* As for the little things in-game? Well, I think it's pretty neat that Shawn absolutely doesn't care whether he wears the prince or princess outfit for the costume ball plans. He looks really nice as Princess Aurora! Or at least that's what I think his costume looks like. Really pretty either way!

But yeah, that one thing I fixated on aside, I love all the characters and their whole things!

Sarah and Jael's whole creator-created relationship and Sarah having found a family with Shawn and the others? Good Shit. 

Cassandra's disdain for the box that has cost her so much in these past days/probably weeks? Damn, I wish I could do more for you girl.

Aziel? My man, your whole existence is pain but thanks for weakening Kyade for me in that one battle. Davin? Perhaps in another life indeed.

The Ecclesia and the Rebels both being questionable as all hell with Cealon and Kyade as their leaders? God they always had me question where my loyalties should be during the run. Unfortunate for them that they lie only with Shawn.


As for my thoughts on the four party members? Well, the little moments that happen with Shawn and them are all very nice. I just like how easily they all ended up being friends— despite the looming terror of the Ecclesia hunting them down haha.

That and it's cute how the three have the possibility of having a romance route should you so steer Shawn in that direction. I was actually tempted to push him towards Arc buuut I held off a bit since I wanted to try a whole run without some romance sprinkled around for now.


* AND YET SOMEHOW I FOUND LOVE EITHER WAY >:/ 

There's something really funny about being blindsided in my post-narrative platonic route with Shawn by a confession scene by NONE OTHER THAN MYSELF!!!

I mean— I didn't mind the whole thing but WHAT????? I WASN'T INFORMED SHAWN AND THE PLAYER COULD END UP BEING A THING WHAT???

The fact that Shawn x Player can be an actual thing if you push through with a save that's only purely platonic for the gang is just— Oh my god??? Why would you do this to me??? I have so much Brainrot™ for Shawn now I can't— 🥺

Absolutely horrible how I just finished my first run of the game and I had to finish it while bawling. 


The fact that Shawn and Player confess possible romantic inclinations for each other in post-narrative hurts in this really bittersweet way that has me wanting to make fanfic so I can soothe that pain.

I hate this and how much I wanna write a drabble to say how sad I am that I'm never gonna see my Shawn and his endearing dork ass self again. (only technically, but y'know.)


Ahhh, but no joke, that was a really interesting part of my ending and I very much appreciated it despite this relationship being so short for Shawn and his Player.

But yeah, the whole rant about only a few parts of the game aside, I seriously wanna thank you for the wonderful experience this game has offered me in the span of 24 hours. It was a wild ass ride and I'll cherish the memories I gained dearly and will keep them close to my heart.

Again, thank you so much for Numina <3

Omg haha, thank YOU for taking the time to write all of this up :D 

I love reading thorough writeups like this and get a feeling of how people connected to the game and the story. 

SPOILERS BELOW





I found it very fascinating how many people voiced how fitting a romance between Player and Shawn would be. And the more I thought about it, the more sense it made :D Even though it was quite a challenge to come up with an organic way of playing it out.

I'm so happy that you saw the ending theme Echoes also as a goodbye to Shawn and the others which is exactly what I wanted it to express. 

Thanks again for your comment, it's really motivating and nice to see people connecting to something that's very close to my heart :)

I usually play games on story mode when given options but i found the mini games in the fights kinda fun so i restarted off story mode. 
All the characters are wonderfully written and I will break down the 4th wall myself with my bare hands to hug Shawn.

Aww thank you so much for this! I'm happy you enjoyed the battles 🙂

Hello sir,the update in 1.14 is fix the bug in a place name ??? In the sewer chapter 2 where cause glitches scene when Shawn near the gate?

Sorry, I'm not quite sure what you're referring to. Is this about the bug on mobile?

Yeah, have that already fix i want play this game in mobile too using emulator?

As mentioned before, the game is not supported on mobile for now. So I can't really work on a fix for that right now as I'm very busy with finishing Part II.

hiiii, I've been following this game for a minute so I was so excited when I saw part 1 released, but I've changed my laptop since the last time I played and now I'm on Mac. So, I wanted to see if the game would lag on it, so I was trying to play the demo but it crashes as soon as I press enter on close  :(

Sorry for the inconvenience! :( Could you post a screenshot of the crash screen or email me at numina.official@gmail.com

The same thing happened to me, and here I thought would be the first RPGmaker game Mac download I have ever found that successfully runs for the first 5 minutes.

just played the demo and it's majestic and beautiful! looking forward to the game :)

Thank you so much! ❤️

Hey there! I've been following your game for a few years now and I'm so eager to play the full version (or at least part 1 for now)! I've been eagerly awaiting adventuring with Shawn and the gang! That being said I seem to be having an issue. I bought the game on release day a few days ago. Today I had to delete it thanks to tech issues on my end but when I went to redownload the game from the URL itch.io provides, I'm only getting the option to download the demo only even though I definitely paid for the game itself. Any help you can give? And anyone else having similar issues?

Hey there! 

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. It might have something to do with the launch discount that ended yesterday 🤔I've contacted itch.io support on this matter.

Please reply with your Email or Discord so I can send you a Download Key so you get access to the game in the meantime.

Thanks so much for the assistance! Is there any way I’d be able to privately send you my email? I’d just rather not have my email listed publicly in the replies 😅

Sure, write me a quick mail to numina.official(at)gmail.com

Just make sure to use the Email you also used for your purchase :)

Hiiii!!! I think I see a little inconsistency, in the photo we see Sarah talking when you speak with the merchant, but supposedly Sarah had already left! 

I see a little bugs sometimes when you talk to NPCs like the text suddenly cut and appear the options to choose before the NPC finish their lines and then, when you choose, the lines continues like nothing to later continue the dialogue with the chosen option (I mean, idc this little errors, but I think I should tell you) [Im playing in a MacOS BigSur ver 11.2.1, I bought it via steam, idk if you need al this information,  but just in case]

On other hand I love the little details you put since beginning, so is not bored to play all the game again, the battle system changes too, and I like the news mechanics, the characters are lovely like always and the story is very interesting, you did a great job!! And I am very proud to have followed this project for several years, because I feel good seeing its evolution!!

Hey there! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this :) 

Happy to hear you've enjoyed the game, especially since you've been following Numina for so long! 

And also thanks for reporting that bug! :)

Hiii!!! Im sorry to bother you again, I just finished the game (okey, I really really love it, and I cant wait for part two, its like, I try to search all the game and I have like 13-14 hours of game xD and I idk what to say, you put a lot of work and everybody who want to play it, will see that) I have other bug to report tho, idk if I was the only one to whom this happened, but SPOILER





when the Ecclesia guys interrupted in Arc's house and the group need to scape, all this part until the Garden I literally could traspase the walls, persons, and everything, idk why, maybe a little bug or something? Idk if this has anything to do with it, but I was with the «always run» option all the way and normally, when you hold down the action button in dialogues, it will go a lot of faster, but sometimes some dialogues overlap with others, and maybe this has something to do with that bug 

I hope this will help you!! Byee

PS: I don't want to pressure or something like that, but you have like a ideal date to part two? Its only pure curiosity, plis take your time, you did a great job with the first part :D

Oh, I thought you already finished Part 1 before your first comment, happy that you've also enjoyed the rest of the game :D And thank you for reporting that bug! I'll investigate it :) 

There's no fixed date for the release of Part 2 yet, my current goal is towards the end of the year.

Glad I downloaded the demo first. Unfortunately won't be buying this game. First things first this demo had zero audio for some reason no matter how loud my computer settings was and what the game settings said which was strange. Secondly the game was like 20 minutes of just cutscenes alone, also the cutscenes were super laggy. Another thing is that the battle system didn't work right because of the lag it wouldn't allow me to correctly do the timed events after the attacks or to defend. While the visuals are pretty this isn't a game I can give a shot at, Though I will say it is a pretty unique design to have the 4th wall break with the player being able to chat with the main character every so often so well done.

(+2)

Sorry for the inconvenience! We never encountered such severe performance issues during testing. Would you mind sharing your system's specs for me to better understand the situation?

  • OS & Version (e.g. Windows 10)
  • CPU Model
  • GPU Model
  • RAM amount

Thank you! :)

As good as this game looks i think i'm going to have to download the demo to see how well it will play on my computer first. Don't want to buy and then suddenly have the game lagging non stop lol. Is this game available on steam or just itchio?

You can also get it on Steam :) https://store.steampowered.com/app/597060/Numina/

Hello Starlit Games. I’m just curious about the resolution and tile size of your game? It looks great btw.

Hello there! The game runs at 1280x720 and the tiles are 48x48 :)

Thanks for the reply. That’s a good resolution. I thought you used 32x32 tiles though since I see some xp rtp in there. Maybe you’ve reworked the graphics to 48x48? 

Yes, indeed! The project originally started out on RPG Maker XP, so a lot of the original assets had to be reworked.

is it free? its looks really cool and i wish to play it and happy hopes on you devs for this awesome game and hope to play and

The demo is free, but Part 1 releasing July 1st will be a paid release. Thank you so much for the kind words! :)

Very colourfull.
Cant choose betwin really nice and carying voice and grumpy cowardly voice hmmmmmmmmmmm, cant i be just evil mockering voice? 

Very intruiging demo i must say, totaly worth to wait for 1 chapter.

Haha that's the struggle! Thanks for playing!!

Hi, I remember playing your demo and I really loved it! 

SPOILER HERE:

The only thing is im a little confused about what part one includes. 

In the demo I remember going up to a part with (it was dark/red and you woke up in a jail cell but at this point it was in a different language) (I also think this was the start of a new chapter which is why it was untranslated but im not sure because its been a while)

 Was this section chapter two or three and will we go past it in Part One? And will part one have an ending or be more of a cliffhanger?

(+1)

Hey there! :) Thanks for sticking around and your kind words!

So the 2017 demo which you played contained Chapter 1 and a tiny preview of Chapter 2, the first few minutes.  

Part 1 releasing on July 1st contains the whole of Chapter 1 and 2 which will take the story way past the 2017 demo content. But it will end on a cliffhanger as Part 2 will contain Chapter 3, the last third of the story.

Thank you I'm so excited to play this! and I usually try not to start unfinished games but I just had to because I just couldn't wait anymore for something this great! :))
