Nonu

A small island, hidden from the world, is dying. What was once thriving - warmed by a volcano, sustained by a god - has collapsed under the weight of its own violence and greed. Three factions tear at what remains: warriors who rule by strength, elites who hoard Heat, and a fanatical hidden order that the others dare not speak of. And caught between them, a pacifist people on the brink of extinction. You are one of the last. Pacifist by nature, nimble by necessity. You have watched your people dwindle from hundreds to a handful, and you have had enough. You do not know what you are called to do. You will find out.

A Souls-Like Built Around Two Resources Heat is the lifeblood of the island. Found in crystals buried beneath the earth, coveted by every faction, and replenished only slowly over time, it is the power everyone is fighting over. Your body generates its own Heat through combat, granted by the god Nonu himself. Unlike the corrupted Heat that fuels your enemies, yours feels different. Pure. You do not yet know why. Every action costs Stamina - a resource that regenerates, but must be managed carefully. Exceptional moves spend Heat, and in desperate moments, Heat can flow back into Stamina - turning the tide when it matters most. Even your jump draws from your reserves. Spend wisely, and you survive. Spend recklessly, and the island takes you. Your enemies are not passive. They have their own corrupted access to Heat, generated periodically and used intelligently. They will outnumber you. They will pressure you, respond to spacing, and choose attacks that force mistakes. You must do the same.

Wield the Flame, Master the Fight Your body is your only weapon - its fiery power a gift from Nonu, and your only instrument of war. Every combo chain is a distinct tool for damage, positioning, stagger, or escape. Some hit hard and slow. Some are quick and precise. Some apply status effects, some create distance. Mastery of your options is what separates survival from defeat. Nonu's combat rewards patience and reading your opponent. Every action must be followed through - survival comes from commitment, not panic. The jump is a genuine tool: use it to avoid attacks, reposition in a tight spot, or drop onto enemies for a stolen moment of respite. Bosses will demand your full understanding of every mechanic at your disposal.
