NarKarma EngineA, after being recently announced at a Sekai Project panel, has received a teaser trailer.

Sekai Project said:
From Novectacle, the makers of the renown House in Fata Morgana series, NarKarma EngineA is a TRPG-inspired RPG coming soon to both Windows PC and console!

Novectacle's mostly known for its highly-acclaimed visual novel The House In Fata Morgana. OT

The website is also open. It has music playing and it's INCREDIBLE! (I think Gao has returned for the vocals from Fata Morgana.)

Direct MP3 link for the track

Found a few assets:

No release date set, to my knowledge.

It's a "TRPG inspired RPG where you are both the hero and the final boss"

Also, HYYYYPEEE

Wichu · Aug 10, 2017

The background art is gorgeous.

Without any gameplay, it's hard to judge whether this will actually be any good or not. I have full faith in the story and music department after The House in Fata Morgana, though.

Kalor · Aug 10, 2017

I'm curious to see how this turns out. I enjoyed Fata Morgana and like TRPGs so this could be a good mix.

Just embed it, more pictures never hurt : P

Even if the gameplay is terrible, this will probably still be a GOTY contender

Nishastra · Aug 10, 2017

I can't even begin to imagine what this game will be like, but that song sure is good

super-famicom · Aug 10, 2017

My interest is picqued

Sinh_Magnus · Aug 10, 2017

TRPG and Fata Morgana?

Sign me up!

Taking a closer look, the section on the right (with the trash can and bulletin board) is in a different style and at a different scale than the rest of the art.

With that perspective and what looks to be a cave entrance, my guess is that it's in-game assets. I'm definitely up for a 2D hand-drawn RPG.

malikhaing_bayag · Aug 10, 2017

I will buy 2!!! Loved Fata Morgana.

Loz246789 · Aug 10, 2017

Inject it into my veins. The music's so good, as expected, but I love the concept too. It's something I've always kind of wanted but not really been sure how to execute properly.

(Also, everyone go play/read the house in fata morgana if you haven't already.)

KharmaPolice · Aug 10, 2017

Super excited about this. Western release should be timely considering the marketing runs through Sekai Project.

So expect endless delays and the console version to never materialise? Got it.

Not entirely

Jarod McChicken · Aug 10, 2017

Oooh, thanks for the thread, after the incredible trip that Fata Morgana was, I'm really interested about what Novectacle is doing.

I legitimately can't tell if this is sarcasm.

I'm practically ready to beg to Sekai to come through on this one. I NEED this game. Fata is my favorite VN of all time.

Yep, same here.

"Mummew," seriously. Mummew.

A+ pun

bobawesome · Aug 10, 2017

Fata Morgana is my favorite visual novel and I have spent a stupid amount on the series so I'll follow anything Novectacle make.

daveo42 · Aug 10, 2017

Sign me up. Absolutely loved Fata Morgana and have high hopes for anything being done by the team.

Dirk Benedict · Aug 11, 2017

You have my interest. But can you keep it?

I await the full trailer.

Arion · Aug 11, 2017

Love the music but not sure about the art style. It's a little too busy.

OniBaka · Aug 11, 2017

In it for the story and music.

Fata Morgana is my favorite story across all media.

ZombiePlatypus · Aug 11, 2017

Still not sure what this is after the trailer but I am fucking in after seeing the gorgeous art.

Buzzi · Aug 11, 2017

Nice, the only RPG subgenre I can still appreciate is SRPG, music and theme seem spot on, the only problem I see is that Sekai logo

AtomskEater · Aug 11, 2017

Was really excited for this when it was announced just because of who is making it. Fata Morgana was a wild ride. I'm digging the art design for this, reminds me of Honyarara's work on DMMD.

Only if you're a vita owner

Tart Toter 9k · Aug 11, 2017

Fata Morgana was one of the best games I played this year so I have high hopes for this one! The art style looks really cool and colorful.

Still waiting for that teased sequel to Fata Morgana tho...

Ascheroth · Aug 11, 2017

I'm listening to the song on the website and the trailer song again and fuck, they are so good.

Kieli · Aug 11, 2017

OH SHIT. Saw Novectacle and came running as fast as my feet could carry me.

The cause for the delay is simple, really. MangaGamer decided they're going to release A Requiem for Innocence alongside Seventh Coat and Erasmus.

In my dreams.

MilkBeard · Aug 11, 2017

Looks cool. I'm warming up to the art. At first, I was a little bit turned off from the generic look of the faces, but in each design there is something really interesting and unique. I like the bright colors a lot, and how some of them are mixing tech with more earthy styles.

The music on the website is awesome. I've listened to it a few times in a row now. And after House in Fata Morgana, I am excited to see the story and world of this game. The fact that it has more gameplay and RPG elements is mind-boggling, because I have no idea how it will play, but I'm excited anyway. If they can keep up the same quality as Fata Morgana, this will be another GOTY contender for me.

I like the backgrounds but i'm definitively not a fan of the characters and i'm pretty indifferent to that song tbh.

I think I now understand how some Dragon's Dogma fans feel when I tell them Eternal Return is a better song than Into Free.

zelhawks37 · Sep 3, 2017

Thank you TC for bringing this to my attention. Definitely looking forward to this as I loved Fata Morgana.

Kieli · Sep 3, 2017

Although the art is less unique than Moyotaro's art (which is fairly distinctive, in my opinion), the colours are vibrant. It's busy, but in a detailed way.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this so much now that I've finished Fata Morgana.

Now that that's out of the way you can join the rest of us in waiting for MangaGamer to finish translating the fandisc. And Seventh Coat. And The Erasmus Two-Faced Stories. And that exclusive story in the Vita version.

"Eternal suffering on all their souls" indeed.

MosquitoSmasher · Sep 3, 2017

The T stands for tactical I assume?

Hey, no worries! You're always welcome to suffer in this wait with the rest of us ;_;

Agreed on the art! I'll share your pain while we wait ;_;

MosquitoSmasher said:

No one knows, but probably yes. Heard someone say it could be "tabletop" too, though.

Funyarinpa · Sep 8, 2017

We now have full body art for Ixta, the "amnesiac gatekeeper" in the teaser.

That seems to be the only update to the website though.

No idea who or what this Xyr is.

bobawesome · Sep 9, 2017

I could be wrong but I think "xyr" is referring to IXTA. I've seen xyr used in the past as a gender-neutral pronoun.

That makes a lot of sense.

Why would they capitalize Xyr if that were the case, though?

I might be reading way too much into this

Funyarinpa · Oct 6, 2017

Teaser site's updated again. Now we have a sprite and a description for Mummew as well!

Shizuka · Oct 6, 2017

I have so much of a high expectation for this game, it's not even funny. If it delivers, it'll be GOTY of whatever year it's released.
