Indie studio Polyarc has just unveiled their latest fantasy adventure, 'Moss: The Forgotten Relic.' It is scheduled to launch this summer across PC (Steam), PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch, with a debut trailer released alongside the announcement.

Moss: The Forgotten Relic is an emotive adventure set within the pages of a living storybook. You follow the journey of Quill, a young mouse with dreams of adventure beyond her home in a world steeped in ancient myth and magic. It blends exploration, environmental puzzles, and combat, all while fostering a unique bond between you and the protagonist. The gameplay features a 'two-fold' mechanic, where you don’t just control the brave hero but act as a guiding force, interacting with the world as a guardian leader.

This release effectively bundles the critically acclaimed 'Moss Book 1' and 'Moss Book 2' into one definitive, complete adventure. Key features include the chance to trek through a mythical landscape, exploring ruins of an ancient kingdom slowly being reclaimed by nature.

Throughout the journey, you will forge a deep connection with Quill, a small yet courageous mouse who relies on your guidance and protection. Together, you will uncover hidden secrets, traverse mysterious locales, and confront enigmatic forces in an intimate, fable-like narrative inspired by classic fantasy adventures. You can expect to solve diorama-style environmental puzzles, hunt for hidden secrets, and navigate dangers with the help of an optional combat-skip accessibility feature.

Danny Bulla, co-founder and design director at Polyarc, shared his thoughts: "Our team has a deep, personal affection for the world and characters of Moss. We are thrilled to invite players to join Quill on this journey through The Forgotten Relic, and we look forward to sharing the wonder, mystery, and heart that sit at the core of Moss."

The Moss series is a decorated modern indie franchise, boasting over 160 industry awards and nominations. You can find further details regarding Moss: The Forgotten Relic on the official website.
