Eldritch Invoker

Story

The Seraphic Academy is the leading school for the magically gifted. Among the recent graduates stands a promising young mage, you.

Fresh from the halls of Seraphic, you find yourself facing your first solo assignment from the Elders of the Academy. Tasked with a daunting mission, you must journey to the foreboding depths of The Midnight Hollow, a cavern shrouded in darkness and teeming with malevolent creatures known as the Withering Horde.

Once ordinary beings, the beasts of the abyss have fallen victim to a cursed affliction, transforming them into twisted abominations hungry for the essence of life. Your mission is clear: to cleanse the abyss of this blight by facing the seemingly endless onslaught of the Withering Horde.

Armed with your summoning prowess, you enter the mouth of the cavern, prepared to confront the darkness that lurks within...

Tutorial Page

A brief description of how to play the game (plus hints to some of the features we couldn't get done in time!)

Charts Page

Here is a useful list of all element types and how they interact with each other - you will need this page a lot...

Learn Page

Here you can learn new Affixes to modify your Minion in different way with different elemental types. You can learn a new affix by spending 100 Souls, Souls are gained by killing enemies in the Battle Scene.

Build Page

Here is where you customise your Summon Circle to give you minions with varying elemental types. Drag an affix from the left side page into one of the four available boxes on your Summon Circle, when you're done, drag the Summon Symbol from the bottom of the page into the centre to draw your Circle.

Drawing the Circle

Press the key prompts as the chalk passes over them to draw them into the Summoning Circle - the four outside symbols control the power of your Minion, missing some will give them a debuff making them less powerful in battle. The inner four symbols are where your elemental affixes are applied.

Press Space when the chalk hits the centre box and your Minion will be summoned.

Battle Scene

Your Minion will automatically attack the enemy with an elemental attack based on the affixes they have applied, the damage is calculated like so:

- Base Damage - 10
- Strong Type Damage + 10
- Normal Type Damage + 5
- Weak Type Damage + 0

- Elemental type damage stacks so try to go for the big combos!
- Enemy attacks also follow these rules so watch out for their types.

If your Minion successfully defeats the enemy, you will be awarded 20 Souls which you can spend unlocking new affixes to make your Minion even stronger - however if your Minion is defeated, 10 Souls will be taken from you.

At the end of a battle, you will be given the option to continue the fight with your current Minion with all of their applied affixes, edit your Summon Circle to try a new combination, or go to the Learn Page to gain some powerful new knowledge!

Note

Due to being short on time (as ever!) there where a few mechanics we couldn't get implemented, namely giving the enemies elemental affixes to add more challenge to the combat. We would have also liked to differentiate the elemental attacks from each other, but other than that it's fairly close to our original vision!
