The World of Aema
Once united under a powerful empire, Aema is now a fragmented land shaped by war, memory, and elemental magic. From sunken cities beneath glacial cliffs to sacred battlegrounds bathed in fire, players will journey through a world that remembers its past and is shaped by every choice they make.
Each of the ten chapters introduces new enemies, traversal challenges, and emotional story beats, making Aema feel alive, reactive, and deeply immersive.
