Gameplay Overview

LumenTale: Memories of Trey is a monster collector RPG. The core loop has you exploring the world of Talea, catching creatures called Animon, building a battle team, and progressing the story. The sections below summarize the main systems and link out to dedicated pages.

The Core Loop

1. Explore an area and find wild Animon roaming the field.

2. Weaken or engage a creature and capture it with the Holoken.

3. Add it to your roster, then train and level it through battles.

4. Build a balanced team using elemental types and emotional attributes.

5. Progress the story, take on tougher opponents, and unlock new regions.

Combat

Battles are turn-based. You can fight 1v1 duels or team up for 4v4 encounters. Each Animon has an elemental type and an emotional attribute, and matchups between them decide how much damage moves deal. Read the Combat System page for the full breakdown, and Elemental Types and Animon Attributes for the type and attribute charts.

Collecting and Raising

Catching is handled through the Monster Collecting system using the Holoken. Once a creature is yours, it can grow stronger, bond with you, and evolve. See Monster Taming and Bonding and Leveling and Progression for how creatures develop over time.

Exploration

The world is explored on foot across the regions of Logos and Mythos, with towns, wilds, and dungeons to discover. A day and night cycle changes which Animon appear. See Exploration for details.

Life Systems

Multiplayer

Beyond the single-player campaign, the game includes online features. Players can battle each other in 1v1 and 4v4 PvP and trade creatures. See the Combat System and Trading pages for what is currently confirmed.
