The Game
"Niskala: Sacred Knowledge of Leyak", inspired by Balinese culture, local wisdom, Balinese folklore, as well as diversity in Bali and of course with the help of sources to dig up information about "leak/leyak".
Tells the story of a young man named Putu, who is a college student who lives in the city. Putu has a grandfather and lives with his uncle in a city where his grandfather has just died and before his grandfather actually died, his grandfather whispered something to Putu, and did not have time to whisper it. fully. After his grandfather died, Putu experienced a mysterious disorder, which came from the knowledge of "elusion" which Putu thought was from his grandfather and was inherited by him or transferred to him.
Putu tries to find information about what the science of "extermination" is and what the solution is to solve this problem, when his journey encounters several obstacles such as being cheated, and getting treatment and not getting better and finally finding the right person. In the end, Putu's insight began to increase and the truth was revealed.
FEATURES
1. Bars
- Health Bar Experience the tension every time you're attacked by an enemy or disturbed by the presence of supernatural/mysterious entities. Don't worry, as your health bar only decreases after two faints. It also interacts with other bars and can recover based on certain conditions set within the game.
- Sanity Bar Each step you take will be tested by supernatural or mystical beings lurking in the shadows. Your heart will race faster as your sanity bar decreases when you get too close to these entities. The effects intensify when the bar reaches zero, plunging you into a hallucinatory world full of riddles.
- Social Bar Every interaction with NPCs has a significant impact. Engaging in meaningful conversations will increase the Social Bar, while lack of interaction will gradually reduce it. Be careful, as improper answers can cause the bar to drop more quickly. Build positive relationships with NPCs to gain benefits, including opportunities to obtain useful items. Prepare yourself for an adventure that involves both mystical entities and valuable interactions with unique characters in this game.
- Bulun Kala Radar "Bulun Kala," or the "fear radar," functions as a tool to detect shifts in the mood and environment. When the radar peaks, signs such as fear, nervousness, and sudden cold chills will manifest. At certain radar levels, it signals a high likelihood of nearby supernatural entities or mystical auras. However, be cautious. If the radar reaches too high and your sanity bar hits critical levels, the intense vibrations from the radar can destabilize your consciousness. Maintain your balance to avoid negative effects from these intense vibrations while navigating a world filled with mysteries and the supernatural.
2. Manners Real-life manners are implemented in the game, such as greeting with "Om Swastiastu" (equivalent to "excuse me" or "hello") when visiting a house, reflecting traditional Balinese customs.
3. Mystical Street In Bali, it's common to experience disorientation or lose your way when passing through a notoriously haunted street without saying “Nyelang Margi” (a Balinese phrase akin to “excuse me”). This concept is integrated into the game, where your bars influence this mechanic.
4. Attack Players can attack Villains (e.g., "Leak") while keeping an eye on their Social Bar and even the Leak’s Social Bar. Players can use "gamal wood" to throw at or strike the Leak, but timing is crucial. Ensure your Social Bar is higher than the Leak's to create the right momentum.
"In our game world, player attacks reflect prior development and influence future experiences. Decide whether to engage in certain paths based on how well you've built your Health, Sanity, and Social Bars. It's essential to monitor the balance of these bars before advancing the storyline.
To ensure optimal bar conditions from the start, focus on these tips:
- Protect your mind by engaging in activities that enhance emotional stability, such as interacting positively with NPCs and completing tasks effectively.
- Avoid challenging paths highlighted by the Bulun Kala radar if you feel unprepared to advance to the next level.
Our game revolves around an inner duel, with critical words and timing. You can also choose physical actions like deflecting or throwing sand, adding a layer of realism to the combat experience. This way, you can feel a closer connection to reality when facing your fears."
5. Player Defense Players can block attacks from the Leak when it strikes. However, getting too close to the Leak will decrease your Sanity Bar, followed by the Health Bar if your sanity runs out.
6. Speaking When facing Villains/Leaks, players can boost their bars by conversing with them, as Leaks are humans who use mystical knowledge to transform.
Game difficulty levels, from normal to hard, will adapt to the condition of your bars. Challenge yourself to master the game by maintaining bar balance, making the right decisions at the right time, and achieving victory in an intense inner duel!
