Overseer of the Elements is a turn-based RPG using a combination of creature collection and bonding between allies to improve their powers, with also using said abilities outside of battle for puzzle solving. You can think of it as a loving combination of Golden Sun and Persona, while drawing inspiration from other RPGs I grew-up with. 

​

You begin your adventure as a pair of "Mentalists", wielders of an elemental force known as "Mei".  They'll meet-up with fellow Mentalist that become closer friends and stronger allies as they cooperate together in battle. They'll also be joined by various "Sol Spirits", physical embodiments of Mei that form symbolic relationships with the Mentalists they meet. As they join you, you can use them directly in battle, build them up to improve your own power through buffs and class changes, as well as have them assist you with powerful "Team-up" abilities.  When allies team-up they combine their turns, through the help of the Sol Spirits, to do powerful techniques that they couldn't achieve alone. It takes a lot of energy out of them, but soon enough they'll recover and be ready to help once more.

​

Allies bond in battle as they Team-up together and when they support each other, whether it be through healing, buffing, or just giving moral support. Though outside of battle, they can also bond through various events that'll happen through-out the adventure or when hanging out together at a rest stop. Regardless of method, they'll have key interactions as they bond that allow them to get to know each other better and increase their relationship levels. This is the key to gaining access to more powerful team-ups and improving various perks.

​

While Mei is a great tool for Mentalist in battle, it'll also serve them well as they navigate through-out the world in their adventures.  Our party will need to use their Mei to reach the end of various dungeon-like areas they'll have to pass along the way.  Whether it be shrubby that needs to be burned or fire that needs to be doused, the Mentalist's Mei can be used to overcome any obstacle. Options will only continue to grow through-out the adventure, especially as they clear the Sol Spots that act as key plot points in their adventure.
