Novaland is a narrative-driven psychological horror game that blends multi-layered storytelling, dream logic, and card-based combat mechanics.
Players awaken in a mysterious manor with no memory of who they are. Through exploration, social deduction, and haunting dream sequences, they begin to uncover their fractured identities and the disturbing nature of the world around them.
The story unfolds across two timelines: the Surface World and the Inner World. While the Surface World unravels the illusion of normalcy, the Inner World transforms language into a weapon and paradox into liberation.
At its core, Novaland challenges traditional gameplay logic—death becomes a doorway, wishing becomes a trap, and narrative is not a guide to obedience, but a call to rebellion.
In the end, players must not only escape the prison—they must ask who built it, and why.
