Mechanics

In Creatures of Ava, we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). The adventure leads us through various locations, such as the Nari jungle or the Maruba swamps. While traveling through them, Vic is primarily concerned with dealing with the disease that plagues the creatures inhabiting the land.

The battles we fight against aggressive creatures are not aimed at weakening the opponents (let alone killing them), but curing them of the plague. This means the heroine does not attack opponents, but performs dodges and cleanses successive parts of their bodies from infection. She uses a special staff called Nafitar, which is a relic of an ancient civilization that once inhabited Ava.

After a successful healing, we can grab a flute, which allows us to communicate with creatures and tame them. By imitating the sounds made by individual creatures, we gain their trust, consequently being able to take control over them and see the world through their eyes. Each of them has individual skills that allow us to interact with the environment in various ways.
