Developer The Rat Project has released a brand new gameplay trailer of their new project Magin: The Rat Project Stories detailing a brand new enemy type. Magin is a narrative-driven, adventure RPG that features deckbuilding mechanics, turn-based combat, and a disturbing, non-linear plot. The new gameplay trailer showcases never before seen gameplay footage and also reveals a new enemy type that goes by the name of Coweater.
Coweaters roam marshes, fields, and river banks in search of their next victim. Their primary diet consists of fish however with the expansion of agriculture, their new favorite food is now cows and other livestock and thus their new name Coweaters. They can grow up to 3 meters tall and can even eat a cow with a single bite. Despite their numbers falling down due to hunting and destruction of their habitat, they are still found in the wild eating cows and anything that comes in their way.
Check out the new gameplay trailer for Magin: The Rat Project Stories below:
Magin: The Rat Project Stories is officially described as:
The gameplay mechanics of Magin fuses an adventure game, based on the exploration of a 2D world and interaction with the environment and characters with a card-based combat system reminiscent of Slay the Spire and other deckbuilding games. The element that combines them is the emotion mechanic, that influences both stats during combat, and the choices you make. An additional point of contact between them is the card collecting system, based on exploration and character decisions.
Magins are mages whose abilities are tied to the flow of the Essence, directed by their emotional state. Because of their powers, they are treated either as dangerous outcasts, or research specimens. Tolen and Elester – Magins, mediums of the Essence are holding few things in common, but they are bound by a fate that neither of them suspects.
Key features of Magin: The Rat Project Stories include:
- Adventure game – interact with the environment and investigate items to get a better grasp of the context for the plot.
- Emotions mechanics – maintain the emotions of your characters, choose the path they’ll follow, deal with the impact of your choices.
