Publisher Indie.io and developer stellarNull have announced Mentari, a new action-adventure game with dance-based combat.
Mentari is in development for Windows PC (via Steam), though a release date wasn’t announced.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:
The world has been frozen by a mysterious affliction: The Stillness. Only one girl holds the power to heal it and make the world move again: Mentari. Lead her on a quest across the Bead Isles, heal people using the power of dance and a unique combat system built around it, then help them reconnect to bring life and color back to the world!
Features
- A Dance-Based Combat System Without Killing: Mentari’s goal and power heals the world through dance. Bring others out of the Stillness, healing them while dodging rejection attacks.
- Create Your Own Choreography: As a young dancer, our heroine starts with a limited number of dances. As she travels and grows, so does her knowledge, allowing you to create your own choreography, with hundreds of possible combinations!
- Help Others to Help Yourself: Healing forges connections, and connections open up the Bead Isles. Everyone saved from the infection will try to return the favor, helping Mentari by opening up the world for the young dancer.
- Journey of Discovery: Mentari discovers more than just the Isles, she discovers herself, the meaning of human connection and friendship, and ultimately comes of age, saving her world through healing and dance…
