Getting Started

New to LumenTale: Memories of Trey? This guide covers the first things to know as you begin your journey as Trey across the world of Talea. For a deeper walkthrough, see the Beginners Guide.

The Basics

This is a monster collector RPG. You explore the world, catch creatures called Animon with a device called the Holoken, and battle in turn-based fights. Your goal is to build a team, progress the story, and uncover Trey’s lost memories.

Try the Demo First

A free demo is available on the same storefronts as the full game. Save files from the demo carry over into the full release, so any progress you make on the opening hours stays with you when you start the full game on day one.

Your First Animon

Early on you are temporarily given a Lampecko, then you choose a Starter Animon. The five starters each cover a different elemental type and emotional attribute, so pick whichever appeals to you. The choice mainly shapes which matchups feel easy at the start; you will round out your team quickly. The five options are:

First Steps
