Maximizing the bleak atmosphere of dark fantasy with unique art, the Korean indie game 'Revelatio' has seen its developer, Guild Studio, unveil a brand new project.

Guild Studio opened the Steam store page for their upcoming title, 'Nam-mo', on the 2nd, revealing a slew of details. 'Nam-mo' is a Korean dark fantasy Soulslike set in the Silla dynasty. The narrative follows the protagonist, Nam-mo, who loses their sight after a betrayal by the trusted Jun-jeong, only to gain a 'spiritual eye' to hunt for the truth hidden behind that treachery.

The world is firmly rooted in the Silla era. The names of the protagonist, Nam-mo, and the betrayer, Jun-jeong, are borrowed from the Wonhwa system during the reign of King Jinheung. In actual history, Nam-mo and Jun-jeong were selected as leaders, but following a conflict, Jun-jeong murdered Nam-mo, leading to the collapse of the system and the eventual rise of the Hwarang.

Combat is primarily focused on boss rushes centered around parrying. Players will face off against enemies inspired by Silla-era artifacts and Buddhist paintings, including monstrous sages and warriors consumed by madness. Beyond simple parrying for counterattacks, players can utilize the spiritual eye to enter the spirit world or expose boss weaknesses to neutralize attack patterns.

This spiritual eye serves as a core mechanic for both story progression and gameplay, allowing players to identify the hidden identities of NPCs or absorb the souls of defeated foes to gain new abilities. Since Nam-mo's combat style shifts dramatically depending on how these souls are combined, strategic management is essential.

Meanwhile, the release date for Nam-mo remains TBD.
