Further details regarding 'Astra: Oratio', the new title being developed by Dynamis One and published by NCSoft, were unveiled on the 26th. This latest information, a continuation from the details revealed on the 19th, sheds light on the core world-building keywords 'Magic' and 'Tower', and showcases alternate appearances of key characters.
Astra: Oratio is a sub-culture RPG set in a new religious era where magic exists. It depicts the story of an ordinary protagonist who is suddenly assigned to a department related to magic, set against the backdrop of a fictional Tokyo in 1898. Ahead of its release, the game has been sequentially revealing characters, including Hiwagi Shiakari Ai, the Director of the Special Administration Bureau for the Spirit-Designated Special Zone, while simultaneously expanding its lore.


The newly disclosed content delves into the game's core keywords, 'Magic' and 'Tower'. Firstly, it's revealed that 'Magic' in this world is a concept founded upon human desires and seemingly unattainable ideals. The explanations suggest that earnest prayers towards the stars and the accumulation of difficult-to-achieve aspirations transformed into the concrete concept of magic.
'Tower' is an element that reflects human aspirations, connecting stars and territories. Alongside the narrative that human obsession led to the construction of colossal towers throughout history, elements speculated to be key to the game's plot, such as the 2nd and 5th Eras, were also introduced. Furthermore, information was shared about a structure symbolising new magical currents in Tokyo during Reisei Year 9, the game's temporal setting, which is nearing completion.


In addition, a traditional kimono outfit designed for Director Hiwagi Shiakari Ai as a mage was unveiled. This attire, primarily sky-blue, serves as her magical version. Accompanying this was the introduction of the protagonist's design, who, due to a curse, transforms into a cat while asleep, sparking curiosity about future developments.
