## Description

_Relics: The Recur Of Origin_ is a remake of Bothtec’s original Relics which
expands the story of the original game and models the gameplay after CRPGs
such as _Diablo_.

Utilizing an isometric viewpoint, the combat occurs in real time and the
spirit is controlled via a mouse. Players start the game as the spirit and
need to find a body to possess in order to progress and survive in the game.
As soon as the first body is possessed, possessing alternative bodies can be
done by killing them.

Depending on the body possessed, players may acquire different abilities and
special skills, long range attacks, more health and inventory items that can
be carried. In addition to that, each possessed character has 4 attributes:
_Fire, Thunder, Holy_ and _Demon_ which influence a character’s resistance to
attacks of these attributes.

The game adds a bit of tactics as characters of the same factions, whether
they are Marx, Animals, Aliens, Heaven, Hell or the mysterious Horror faction
will not attack those who belong to their tribes. It also features multiple
endings depending on the choices made by the player.

As for the plot, once upon a time, a lone spirit was traveling through space
and after ages of travel, losing its physical body it wandered onto a blue
planet. It had no idea what had attracted it to that planet. During its
travels, the spirit lost one important thing: its memories.

The spirit was at a state close to extinction and noticed strange ruins on the
planet’s surface and there were several living creatures near these ruins. “If
I could acquire the body of that life form…”, the spirit thought and with
these thoughts it descended towards the ruins to possess a body and extend its
life.
