Summon, fuse and fill the grimoire
You start with a handful of familiars and a book of empty pages. Summon new creatures, collect the mana they produce, and fuse pairs to discover what comes out the other side. Each discovery adds a page to the grimoire, with facts about the creature and notes from Avia, the aspiring mythozoologist behind the research. Finding exclusive colour variants and higher rarities gives you something to check in on, without ever turning into a chore.
Companions that live on your desktop
Sleeping elder dragons, grumpy ghosts and elegant capycorns each have their own animations when you click them, and it is genuinely fun to see what a new one does. You can drag one out of the way, scroll on Avia to resize everything, or toggle reduced opacity so nothing blocks your view. There is even a focus mode that tucks the creatures away while they keep generating mana in the background.
Nothing here asks for your attention
This is a game built to be left alone. No timers, no punishing failure, no notifications demanding you come back. Your menu hides itself when unused, and progress happens whether you are watching or not. The one habit worth keeping: summoning points build up over time, so dropping in now and then to spend them keeps the discoveries flowing. Otherwise it plays at your pace, with a pleasant soundtrack and hand-drawn pixel art that makes the bottom of your screen a nicer place to be.
Can you customise how it looks?
Can you customise how it looks?
Yes, quite a lot. The craft tab holds backgrounds, decorations and outfits for Avia, all bought with mana. You can also resize the whole game, adjust its opacity, hide the creatures with one button, and name your familiars yourself. With over 100 familiar variations, including exclusive colour variants from fusion, the bottom of your screen ends up looking the way you want it.
Can you play it while doing other things?
That is the whole point. The familiars sit at the bottom of your screen and never block your desktop, and a focus mode lets them generate mana in the background while you concentrate. There are no distracting notifications, and the menu tucks itself away when you are not using it. It works well as a second monitor companion too.
