Dynamis One, a developer specializing in subculture games, is set to launch its first project, 'Astraea Oratio,' targeting the global market with the support of NC's strategic investment and publishing capabilities.
Astraea Oratio is a subculture role-playing game (RPG) that features magic and administration as its main themes. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of Tokyo in 1989, the game creates a world where magic, reality, and administrative systems coexist. Players will follow the story of an ordinary civil servant, 'Jooim,' who manages the magical world's administration while becoming embroiled in various incidents.
Dynamis One aims to provide an immersive experience by organically connecting characters, backgrounds, settings, and narratives within a single world. The process of growing alongside characters and discovering the stories embedded throughout the game is designed to foster long-term fan engagement through revisits, community activities, and fan creations.
A collaborative framework for development and service has also been established. In January, NC made a strategic investment in Dynamis One and secured the domestic and international publishing rights for Astraea Oratio, which was previously known as 'Project AT.'
Both companies are expanding their outreach to domestic and international users even before the game's release. Starting on the 19th, they will begin recruiting participants for the first closed beta test (CBT). Prior to this, they will participate in the Comic Market, a major subculture expo, on the 15th and 16th at Tokyo Big Sight, where they will showcase an official art book and IP merchandise to engage directly with local subculture fans.
As high-quality graphics and production values have become standard in the subculture market, Dynamis One is positioning its original world and emotionally driven experiences as key differentiators. It remains to be seen whether Astraea Oratio can establish itself as a new subculture IP, leveraging NC's global publishing capabilities.
Park Byeong-rim, CEO of Dynamis One, stated, “It is crucial to maintain the direction the developer aims for while effectively reflecting and adjusting to user feedback. We will consistently present games that embody Dynamis One's unique identity and grow as a specialized subculture developer.”
