Hi everyone! I've been working for many years on a project inspired by SMT, titled Becoming None and I'm so happy to finally share it. 

This is a game with a story focused on identity, conformity, and the gradual erasure of individuality.

The world of the game is populated by strange faceless beings made of smoke. It all started with one person named Eve, but over time more and more identical people began to appear, until humanity itself disappeared and was replaced by something hollow and uniform. The story focuses on uncovering why this happened and what was lost along the way.

A big part of the narrative is inspired by philosophy and social criticism, especially ideas related to identity and modern society, mainly inspired by multiple books written by Erich Fromm.

Combat is designed to be strategic and highly customizable. Party members can share abilities with each other, passives can completely change how a character plays, and equipment is built around meaningful tradeoffs instead of simple stat upgrades. There’s also a system where exploiting enemy weaknesses grants TP that can be spent on “Instant Abilities” that don’t consume a turn, letting battles become very dynamic.

One mechanic I especially like is that every type of ability can crit — not only attacks. Heals, buffs, debuffs, and status effects can all become significantly stronger through critical effects, which adds a lot of unpredictability and strategy to combat.

Exploration is also a huge focus. The game has a lot of collectibles, hidden chests, secrets, optional rewards, and memory fragments scattered throughout dungeons. Those memories are actually how the story is told, and they can be viewed whenever you want instead of interrupting gameplay. There’s even a memory puzzle where you organize memories chronologically using contextual clues to unlock extra stuff.

If you enjoy RPGs with deep mechanics, exploration, atmosphere, and more philosophical themes, I think this might interest you!

There's a demo and a Kickstarter campaign coming soon. If anyone is interested, I'll leave the links to both below:
