Noel's Hope

Noel's Hope is an adventure about surviving on a ship in a magical ocean and searching for Noel’s sister, Kate. After a magical catastrophe destroys the world he knows, Noel finds himself alone at sea. He must explore islands and dungeons, gather supplies, fight creatures and uncover the secrets behind the disaster while trying to find Kate. The full story is not yet implemented, so the game cannot currently be completed.

Noel and Kate

Noel and Kate grew up in a small village with their parents. Kate had a strong magical gift, while Noel had learned only the basics. After bandits attacked the village and killed their mother, Kate left to study at the Higher Academy of Mages in the capital. Their father withdrew from the family and secretly built a ship.

One night, their father rushed Noel to the pier as two strange magical lights approached and collided. The resulting chaos engulfed the world in fire and water. Noel escaped aboard the ship, but his father died, and Noel awoke surrounded by ocean. He believes Kate may have survived in the capital, which he hopes the Three Great Magicians protected.

Survive and explore

You search for food, water, materials, valuable minerals, magical items and scrolls. You travel between unusual islands, buildings, boats and dungeons, face traps and powerful, strange creatures, and contend with weather that can hinder your journey or provide buffs. The islands and dungeon events also change between day and night, and the world includes underwater areas with their own resources and plants, as well as flying islands and enemies.

You can improve your characteristics and magic skills, and develop your spells individually. Combat lets you use a separate spell in each hand. Your inventory is unlimited.

Develop your ship

You can improve the ship by adding buildings for crafting, smelting ore, and planting and growing mushrooms and herbs. Islands also contain NPC traders. Bosses have their own mechanics and skills; scrolls can teach you how to defeat particular bosses, provide additional tasks, reveal secrets about characters, and offer a chance to visit secret locations.

Challenges

The separate Challenges mode includes more than 15 tests of dexterity, reaction, logic and luck, set across four play areas with varied mechanics.
