AETHERFALL — Requiem of the Seventh Star

1 min read Original article ↗

Title screen. Press Enter to begin.

A browser-native homage to late-90s pre-rendered JRPG battle spectacle: painted parallax backdrops, low-poly character rigs with modern rim lighting, an ATB command interface, a spiral battle-entry transition, limit break cut-ins and a full summon sequence — all drawn procedurally to canvas with a synthesised original score.

Party

  • RYN VALE — ex-sentinel, wields the Riftbreaker. Limit: SEVERANCE.
  • NOA ELLIS — aether caller and healer. Limit: LIFEBLOOM.
  • BRAM KOTT — gunsmith with an MK-9 arm. Limit: SALVO ZERO.

Controls

  • Arrow keys or WASD — move on the field, navigate menus
  • Enter, Space or Z — confirm and interact
  • Escape or X — cancel and step back a menu
  • M — mute or unmute the synthesised score

Walk the coolant spine of Reactor Seven, restore the party at the Aether Font, and break the SENTINEL MK-VII guarding the core.
