Noreya: The Gold Project, a dark fantasy karma-based Metroidvania game, is set to launch on Steam this June 21. The game, developed by French indie developer Dreamirl Game Studio and published by PixelHeart, offers players a unique choice of allegiance to the Gods of Light and Shadow or the gods of Corruption and Gold. This decision will define your path in the game's universe, affecting your progression by changing the available paths and abilities.
The game's narrative revolves around Salluste, the God of Avarice, who took power over the city of Lemia after imprisoning the Goddess of Light. Players take on the role of Kali, a fighter who lost everything at the hands of the gods, setting out for the city to verify the rumors surrounding this new god who corrupts and subjugates humans in exchange for wealth.
