Origin Hunt

From the Devs

A kidnapped monster in a foreign country caught in a secret war between seven of the most powerful mages alive.

For over 500 years the country of Lenma has known relative peace as a result of the truce with their Origin Mages.
Masters of their elements, Origin Mages are responsible for keeping their monsters away from human populations. In this, the country maintains stability.
But no system is perfect. Now the repercussions of a tragic event years ago are here as one individual begins a final and bloody quest for justice.

Origin Hunt is a story-rich game where choices made have lasting impact. The plot is driven forward by realistic and relatable characters, all with their own unique personalities. As their beliefs and agendas clash, discover the hidden history and decide for yourself who is right – and who needs a good punch. All while just wanting to go home.

Features

• Turn-based combat with animated enemies and lively action sequences! From party members using unique skills to enemies crushing said party members, the battle screen is never still
  

• Character Combat Customization: No character is locked into a role. Build your team how you want.  Strategic use of skills and equipment give team-building freedom, all without class restrictions.

• Gear customization. Can't get enough of ridiculous, complex, over-the-top equipment names?
  

You'll find plenty of that with gear traits through the use of changeable augments. Drain health using a Bloodthirsty weapon! Utilize a debuff with a Suffering weapon to increase your attack! 

Creating crazy weapons not enough? How about crazy armour with customizable stats, traits, and unique set effect bonuses? 
Turn an enemy’s strength against them with Spined armour, or get creative with Broken armour to take extra damage.

• Day/Night Cycle with in-game effects! From skill bonuses to quests to the poor guy wearing sunglasses at night.

• Calendar system with in-game holiday events. Romance that special someone in the capital city! Exchange candy for costumes! Interrupt an annual hunt by chasing a squirrel through a marshland and then become the hunted yourself...?

• Choices have consequences. How you treat your party and the people you meet can change how they interact with you.

• Party transmogs, for a stylish new look in combat!
  

• In-game achievements, for the completionist inside all of us.
  This feels like a good way to anger a boss!

Challenging and Occasionally Sadistic Boss Fights!

Boss fights in Origin Hunt are designed to test mechanic knowledge. With robust skillsets, passives, and hand-coded enemy AI designed to use these abilities to their max.

No boss fight has one single answer. Build your team however you like and make the most of it to dismantle enemies.

Want a healer that obliterates targets?

How about turning a tanky character into a heavy-hitting debuffer?

Or a rogue that provides critical support and manipulates the turn order?

Every build and every fight plays out differently. Go with a slow-and-steady safe approach, or exploit mechanics to create your own team composition. Customize gear and skillsets to creatively crush bosses – and watch as they attempt to do the same to you!

Explore the crazy levels of customization available to players. Find and develop tactics the developer didn’t even consider. Go forth and break the combat in whatever way you like. If you find a way to make a build work, you’ve earned it.

A passion-project of a solo developer, Origin Hunt features an emotional story, unique characters, and a challenging combat system with insane player customization. Choices with impact and consequences, discoverable areas, hidden superbosses, engaging quests, and much more. Approximately 70 hours of gameplay; 60 for the main story, and 10 hours of optional content.
