The monster training RPG casts players as Trey, an amnesiac protagonist who befriends creatures called Animons while exploring the region of Talia. A preview report published by Game Spark on May 22 describes the game's turn-based 4vs4 battles, which rely on type matchups and SP-costing skills. Players capture Animons using a yo-yo-shaped device called the Holoken, either through a rhythm-based field mini-game or by weakening wild Animons in combat. The story begins with Trey rescued by a boy named Ares, and the pair are taken in by Ares' uncle Kapan, a researcher studying the ancient empire and Animons. Kapan suggests Trey become a Lumen, a regional protector, to access information that might restore his memories. The preview notes that Trey can choose one of five starting Animons after a tutorial battle.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"LumenTale's capture system lets players earn XP and items by dealing enough damage to wild Animons without entering battle.
