Altheia: The Wrath of Aferi is a fantasy adventure from MarsLit Games, drawing inspiration from the animation style of Studio Ghibli and Studio Chizu. The story follows Lili, a reluctant would-be Guardian who has no desire to take on her mother's legacy, and Sadi, a determined Monk-in-training who believes their partnership is the only way to defeat the Void. Together they must journey across Atarassia, taking on dungeons filled with puzzles, corrupted shrines, and monstrous enemies, all while learning what it truly means to be Guardian and Monk.
The game shines in its art direction and storytelling, with a beautiful hand-painted style and emotional themes of loss and reluctant duty. Yet technical problems hold it back, with frequent bugs, clunky controls, and inconsistent audio design creating frustration. With only days to go before its release, it feels more like an early access title than a finished product. There is plenty of potential here, but the game will need major updates to deliver the experience its striking visuals and strong concept promise.
