Stories of Old · Act 1

A desert mystery. A fractured team. Your choices steer the party.

Larithea is a party-based point-and-click adventure built with Expo. Swap perspectives and chase your missing teammate across the great desert and the mythical ruins of a city shattered by earthquake and buried artifacts.

The world under the Veil

New cities rise atop older ruins; markets and schools sit over sealed halls and drowned stacks. Relic hunters and scholars pick at what power remains. You move from street to dig site to camp to underlake archives, chasing old magic.

News

2026-01-26
Spell casting feedback refined
Adjusted spell casting feedback so “No need to do it here” appears when the player taps the cast button in non-casting scenes, not after a spell is drawn. Also ensured the hospital entry’s injured bird supports proper heal casting while keeping Maya’s healing dialogue intact.
2026-01-25
Puzzle popup system added for water source
Introduced an in-game puzzle popup flow tied to object triggers, with puzzle images defined in puzzle JSON. The water source now uses a puzzle background and inventory carousel for item selection, plays the standard item pickup animation on success, and swaps to an inactive trigger afterward.
2026-01-24
Spell bar moved to top
Moved the spell bar to the top of the game view for clearer access while keeping the selected-item inventory line and puzzle inventory bar anchored at the bottom.
